Easter Weekend

| No Comments |

IMG_0710.gifIt's Saturday afternoon and I'm home from Wagga after fighting the crowds for a few Easter Eggs for the kids. I wanted to buy the grandkids a little egg in an egg-cup, but do you think I could find one? There's very little on the shelves anywhere and I ended up buying 3 little ceramic egg-cups from Darryl Lea and putting a little egg in it. My kids have some great ones and every time Zeke comes he wants to look at them. I have little rabbits with carrots around the edge and a chicken.
They belong to Carly and Alex but they don't use them any more, I guess they think they're getting too old.

I also bought myself a new computer chair in Wagga. A big black one with arm rests. Carly ended up with the old one because she was using a little old stool at her computer.

Thursday I put a big scratch up the side of my car and I'm not real happy because I'll also have to pay for the other car. Thank God I have insurance, but I think I'll be looking at a $500 excess. He was only a young fellow on P plates and I think he was very glad I told him about it. He couldn't have afforded to pay for it himself and it made me feel good to offer to get it fixed for him (even though it was my fault). There was no-one in the car when it happened. I was backing out of a driveway and didn't realise how close his car was until I felt the crunch. It's a sickening feeling, straight away I saw $ signs. It's only a car and it's only money.

Lauren and Emily both came over with the children yesterday and we walked up to the pond at the top of our street. It's a really pretty spot. Alex took Zeke for a ride around the pond on his bike and Zeke thought it was just wonderful. It's nice to have a few days off work and I'm looking forward to the two days to go before I have to go back.

Eberhard Arnold

"The natural world around us shows the way to relief. All of life is maintained by the sun, by the air, by water, by the earth and its resources. And to whom was the sun given? To everyone. If there is any one thing that people do have in common, it is the gift of sunlight. But as the early Christians said, If the sun were not hung so high, someone would have claimed it long ago.

And the desire to own property, to take for ourselves things which in no way belong to us, does not stop short at the sun. The air is already bought and sold as a commodity, by health resorts. And what of water? Or waterpower? Why should the earth be parceled out into private hands? Is it any different from the sun? No; the earth belongs to the people who live on it. God intended it for them, but it has been taken over by private individuals. The word private comes from the Latin privarto steal. Thus private property is stolen property property stolen from God and from humankind!

Jesus is the friend of humanity and therefore the enemy of private property. He wants people to have true life. He attacked the urge to self-preservation and privilege. He gave up everything and became not only the poorest but also the lowest, for he was classed as a criminal. He kept nothing back for himself. He had no money of his own: his wandering community had a common purse."
