Dear PALE..... thanx for the kind offer. Actually, I think my fridge is fixable when I tire of swapping ice bottles, the seal is the problem, and I've found a source for a spare. I'm sure your generosity would be more useful with those with more need than me.

I'm in the process of developing some Solar based pumping equipment. I hope to make this available to NGO's in due course. There are some devices around, but they seem to lack a particular piece of technology which is available separately (and at great cost).
I'm going to incorporate that technology into a single pumping controller unit.
Who knows, maybe WV might buy some :)

Its a prize, so I will tell the girls and guys you have re donated it back to pale RSPCA QLD thanks.
You know where to find us.
I am extremely interested in your sola plants. Please keep me informed and let us know how things move along.
I hope you realise there is funding available. If you need any assistance to tap into it [when u want email me.
The aboriginal people could certainly use something like that.Speaking of aboriginal people in Australia they still are the ones we should be helping first.
All these good Aussies talking about WV seem to have TV tunnel vishion.
Now if you will pardon me David I will address Miss P.

P, Highjack nothing. If you cant see the connection between the enviroment- animals- and the way we treat both' and manage them its not my fault.
The Two are very much connected.

I agree with Banjo and a few of the others.

We should not be feeding more of the starving.

We should instead be taking care of our own aboriginal people first.

Then we should be assisting with birth control- education- water.

AS WV basically dont beleive in terminations then i guess the clue is in the water.

Suffering of people and Animals are NO different.

They are All Gods creatures P.

By The way Yes I did think China handled what could have been a disaster well`.

Maybe they should take over from TC.
Please everybody just stop to think about the fact if you feed the starving they in turn breed again.
The world is already over populated.
Birth Control is your answer. If there is a conflict of interest to give that then step aside and let others do it.
Sit down at a table and make some real choices because the answer to staring kids is clear.
Then again I guess if WV fix the problem they may be out of a well paid job
The Lord would be horrified at their pay packets- That for sure.

David

This is for you.

PS By The way I do not agree with your anzac post?"

I will leave you to solve the worlds starving people problem.

Give you a hint.

More people is not the answer.

Dear PALE ..glad to know the prize can be still used... Great!

-I'm not suggesting more people... I'm suggesting breed our own rather than importing them.
-Regarding 'changing' people.. new people come to OLO each day :)
-What Jesus said ? Long debate, but not as simple as you suggest simply because we were not there.

A study of the Islamic oral tradition (Hadith) is quite helpful in this matter.

On the Anzac post, please...if you disagree, by all means give reasons, I'm open to criticism at any time. I'm fully supportive of Anzac day .. just in case you gained the impression I'm not. Read the fine print :)

WHO ARE THE RICH ? is the 'uberTitle' of this piece, and would have to say as follows:

CEO's of all Major Banks.
CEO of World Vision (currently Tim Costello)
CEO's of all major corporations.
The Prime Minister, Treasurer, and Senior cabinet members.

So, I hope I never hear the CEO of WV calling for 'give to the needy' as long as the running sore of $200,000 per year exists.

A question did arise in our bible study as we discussed this, and it was this "Is he expected to fund his own travel"... I suggest 'no' because he himself cut back from 'Business Class' to economy, clearly showing it is an operating expense.

Dr Hudson Taylor, founder of the China Inland Mission once said "God's work, done in Gods way, will never lack God's provision".

C.T. STUDD served in the C.I.M. and then founded the Africa Inland Mission said:

Christ's call is to save the lost, not the stiff-necked; He came not to call scoffers but sinners to repentance; not to build and furnish comfortable chapels, churches, and cathedrals at home in which to rock Christian professors to sleep by means of clever essays, stereotyped prayers, and artistic musical performances, but to capture men from the devil's clutches and the very jaws of Hell. This can be accomplished only by a red-hot, unconventional, unfettered devotion, in the power of the Holy Spirit, to the Lord Jesus Christ

Tim......?
