Quips & Quotes
Anonymous: Don't promise when you're happy, don't reply when you're angry, and don't decide when you're sad.
Anzac Day 2014
Last Friday we commemorated Anzac Day, and for the first time in several years, I wasn't working for the paper. However, with a daughter in ATC (11 Squadron Air Training Corps District of Hastings) I still had to get up at 0415 to get her down to the Hastings Cenotaph to fall in at 0450, for the Dawn Service.
I shouldn't be surprised, but because I wasn't focusing on work, I saw and heard and imbibed a lot more than usual. And I had the time to stop and talk to people.
It was a very special day, especially as my nephew and a few family friends are also in ATC, and later in the day my 94 year-old father-in-law marched at the 1030 Havelock North service.
And no I wasn't working, but of course I took my camera. Enjoy J

Deco Bay Napier Port Brass Band provided the music for both the New Zealand and the Australian national anthems - the first time I can recall singing the Ausy one.
One of the four Air Training Corps on sentry duty
The band played by torchlight
Still going strong at nearly 90
It's pretty cool attending the Dawn Parade, listening through the darkness as the parade marches up, everyone standing in silence for the entire service, the sound of gunfire for the gun salute and the three planes flying overhead in formation - it's kind of eerie.
A fallen poppy (someone else rescued it before I could)
Lest we forget
Reading the names of those gone before

The vets marched surprisingly quickly...
I can't really describe what I felt as everyone applauded them, but I felt it...
followed by the ATC,
and other community groups.

Not sure I could stay still that long
Marching off, next stop the Havelock North Club. I'm proud of my Dad
Many young people wore their grandparents' medals
Organisers report that a lot more children attended this year's services
Poppies placed on the Cenotaph after the service
Okay, I admit it, I love all the medals
A young lad from Hereworth School, Havelock North
"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

We will remember them.

Living the Dream
"A woman with stage 4 cancer had a white blood cell (WBC) count of 2.3 and only five weeks to live (normal WBC is in the range 4.3 - 10.. She was opposed to anything charismatic especially the laying on of hands. Her parents wanted to bring her to Bethel Church for healing prayer. She was opposed to this but made the deal that she would go on the condition her parents help her complete her bucket list.
During an April 2011, Friday night service she felt fire through her body and all the pain left. No one laid hands on her. By the time she returned home to Florida her white blood cell count was 9.1! Her encounter with the Presence and Power of God transformed her bucket list into a dream list that resulted in ministering with Heidi Baker in Mozambique. Her next step is to bring the Presence and Power of God to Egypt!"
