Turning back the Boats
The subject of boat people is still a hot topic in many countries including Australia.
The Australian Labour Party is now seeking to align itself with the Liberal Govt. on this issue.
Regardless of what you think should be done it is worth revisiting the movie Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea
Below is my link to my previous post on this.
There is a great human need worldwide or people would not be trying to flee their countries.
Someone once said there is enough in this world to meet mankinds need but not enough to meet mankinds greed. (look it up)
I dont know the answers any more than someone else but I know all these people are loved by God.
In His son Jesus lies all our hopes.

Inside Out-The new Movie on Emotions
Having just last week been to see the new Minions movie which my wife and I thought was despicable(deliberate pun), I am in no rush to see this movie,Inside Out with my grandchildren.
It seems that many animated classics these days are more aimed at Adults than Kids and sometimes seem to be pushing kids to be adults before their time.
The write ups on Inside Out would suggest that this might be the case with this one however it may be adults should be going to see it.
Having sad emotions is not necessarily a bad thing but natural and can also drive us to look at cause and effect in our lives.
I have blogged about this before.
Christianity Today also has a current post on this movie.
Below is a link to my post on the subject which is in the form of a Bible study and also with Leaders notes.
Some very good teaching by the late Frank Hunting.

Talkin about my generation 4-Canoe Trip Amazon Creek,Riverland South Australia
In about 1977 my good friend Dave Hughes and I came up with the idea of going on a canoe expedition in the creek system just north of Renmark.
I knew of these creeks through my late Father in law Dudley Foweraker who had grown up with these locations as part of his young years and later as a family we visited these spots often for chop picnics and afternoon teas.
The creeks, well known to locals,are the Ral Ral,Hunchee and the Amazon.
The Amazon is quite a short connecting creek to the Murray River but very picturesque.
We did two of these trips and later on I took my 3 young sons on a shorter version of the same.
On one of these trips the river was very high and a lot of the creeks running off the main ones had water when they were normally dry.
This was great to explore but often we had to canoe under fallen trees or walk around them.
I managed to get pics which are shared here.
I was probably using my Pentax Spotmatic or a Practika SLR.
The longest lens I used was a Hanimax 135mm.
Scanned from slides using an Epson v700 scanner.
I was usually in the back of the canoe and whoever I was paired with constantly complained as I would stop paddling to get a shot.
I think we did this trip over a 3 day weekend.
On one of then I got very badly sunburned legs.
