HOW TO CREATE AN ORGANIC VEGETABLE GARDEN

Neels Coertse and his organically grown beetroot.

I started growing vegetables on 1 January 2013 and is still in awe about the power of nature in my garden, My wife asked me on that day to take over the vegetable growing and I did. She created this wonderful garden and she even let me loose in it. 

In the meantime I discovered this lovely movie about growing vegetables organically. I really wish that you would take the time to look at this movie about Paul Gautschi: BACK TO EDEN

God bless you and your garden.

LUNCH ATOP A SKYSCRAPER

LUNCH ATOP A SKYSCRAPER 

This is to my mind such a well known photograph and I often wondered about the courageous photographer and the story behind this iconic image. You can read the fascinating story here

Please look at the video that is contained in the link above - it is scary and yet it was done and we still admire it today.

I give full credit for the photographer and Time and the link I referred to. 

We see a lot of daredevils today taking breathtaking shots all over the world - Red Bull website abounds with that: 

Best action from first week of Dakar Rally 2017

I WAS AN ATHEIST UNTIL I READ LORD OF THE RINGS - FREDRIC HEIDEMANN

I was an atheist until I read LORD OF THE RINGS
[photo credit: WEBSITE]

Fredric lives with his wife and their daughter in the Lansing, Michigan area, where he also works as an attorney. Born and raised in an atheist family, Fredric dismissed religion until his late teenage years when he abandoned atheism. He entered the Catholic Church in 2006 during his freshman year of college and loves sharing his story.

Fredric writes: "I grew up in a loving, comfortable atheist household of professional scientists. My dad was a lapsed Catholic, and my mom was a lapsed Lutheran. From the time that I could think rationally on the subject, I did not believe in God. God was an imaginary being for which there was no proof. At best, God was a fantasy for half-witted people to compensate their ignorance and make themselves feel better about their own mortality. At worst, God was a perverse delusion responsible for most of the atrocities committed by the human race.

What broke the ice? What made me consider God’s existence a real possibility?" Please read the rest of his story by clicking on the link above.

Thank you Otto Diedericks for this story. I do appreciate it.

QUEEN ELIZABETH CONFESSES HER FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST

Queen Elizabeth confesses her faith in Jesus Christ

The Queen confesses her faith in Jesus Christ during her 2016 Christmas message. It is such a wonderful experience to listen to her confessing - unflinchingly, while she looks the world into the eye. Tannie, that is too wonderful for words.

I remind you that even our own Chief Justice, Mogoeng Mogoeng confesses his faith in Christ. On 21 November 2016 I posted a blog-post when I wrote: "It is very refreshing to follow our Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng's speeches and to see how consistently he refers to his faith in Christ Jesus. He longs for a more moral society and with leaders with integrity. I personally don't know any other Chief Justice of South Africa who were so openly in his testimony about a living faith in Christ." I encourage you to read that blog-post of mine.

And now the Queen of England. Thank you Madam.

I confess with Saint Peter that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God and my Saviour: "Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”. I pray that you too will confess that. You can read Peter's confession here and search for Peter's confession.

DR DAVID GOODALL - 102 YEAR OLD - RE-INSTATED AT THE UNIVERSITY



DR DAVID GOODALL - HE IS RE-INSTATED AT THE UNIVERSITY

Do you remember my post on 21 August 2016 about David Goodall that was forced by the Edith Cowan University Perth Australia to retire? David's children were worried that this drastic step could kill their father! He was so happy to go four day per week to the University and to meet people.

Well, I have very good news for you!! The University re-instated him for the next three years. What does David have to say about this lot? I prefer to be on campus because there are other people around and people who potentially are friends. 

There are potential friends that would surrond him! At 102 years he still needs new friends in his life! And he needs to do the work that he loves! It is truly remarkable - here is a video clip of David in his new office at the Unversity!
