So I think I got a little excited and may have not been clear in my previous cialis generic rx posts re: the Apple Store opening.
I didn’t actually sleep out overnight, but did go to the opening (5pm) the following day, the queues were huge, so came back later that night with Mike ‘Voltage‘ Vogel.
Here is MIke who now has almost completed his transformation into an uber-nerd… just like me 
So I drove into the city before heading home tonight as people had started queuing for the opening of the Sydney Apple Store from 8:15am this morning. I got there about 9pm… there are about 20 people camping out for the opening of the new store!
I mean, there’s not even a new product coming out, just a store to sell stuff in. Which isn’t to say I am not heading in tomorrow at 5pm for the official opening… but camp out over night!!
Front of store… lot’s of glass, and apparently second largest in world after London.
Now the iPhone comes out here on July 11, so Apple really has got twice the mileage out of this launch. A bunch of pres for the opening, and then what’s sure to be bunch of press for the iPhone!
Start of the queue, first five have iPhones… (apparently there are 25,000 on the Optus Network already)
More Queue.
SO I reckoned there might be a few thousand here by tomorrow 5pm… and I will be one of them!
In 2001 my Dad began his first journey to India that would set in motion the journey towards establishing the Children’s Home in Bhachau…
On January 26, 2001, a large earthquake, registering 7.9 on the Richter Scale, devastated the area of Gujarat, northwest India. Five year old Rukshana emerged from the rubble an orphan. Her mother had been killed a week before in an electrical accident; her father was crushed in the rubble of their house. A photo of Rukshana, with a bandage over one eye, featured in the March edition of World Vision’s Impact magazine last year. Her image haunted many New Zealanders, among them Steve Wakerley of Christchurch… [Read On]
It has been a massive journey for my parents… as their three boys (me being one of them), left for parts uncharted (to Australia), they both have found that better late than never is the theme of the second half of their lives!
When I was growing up I remember conversations/discussion/prayers about Bali, which I imagined an exotic paradise filled with wild natives (any one who has grown up hearing about missionaries will know exactly what I mean). In some parallel universe it seemed I could have grown up a missionary kid, instead of playing left wing in my local Southbridge Rugby team in country New Zealand.
Now I may be completely off course and remember things through the filter of memory but Bali could have been an opportunity that never eventuated for whatever reason for us.
Now that their life has taken them to this incredibly challenging, frustrating, totally out-of-depth, but eternally significant experience I am in awe at their tenacity and faithfulness to the call of God in their lives.
They are making steady progress toward the finishing of a fantastic facility to eventually be used for::
The people that will benefit from this ministry will be the poorest of the poor – children and adults who haven’t the means to bring up their children, eg. widows, orphans and the disabled.

Hung out with friends Matt and Jo Garratt at Dee Why Beach – ah, one of the perks of Sydney, Australia.
Below we have a photo of Brooklyn Wakerley and Daisy Garratt seeing who can get the most amount of food on their faces rather than in the mouth! (Not sure who the Grandmother is behind, but she is somewhat shocked… not that surprising, most of the food didn’t even make it to their faces).

It is 9:17pm on Sunday. We have just finished the final of our 8 allegra and price services for the weekend.
I got up this morning for our 8am service, and 13 hours later we finished packing up from the 7pm service.

But I LOVE IT!

I really wouldn’t want to be anywhere else but right here.
So here I sit in my office having a breather before I head on out to lock up this awesome facility God has given us!
(Although I am glad I only lock up once every two months!)

Bloggin’ will resume as normal early next week.
Yours aciphex generic canada in the Lord Jesus Christ and in His mighty power.
The Reverend David Wakerley.
I use bloglines to read all the blogs I participate in in one place.
I thought I might post all the Children’s Ministry Blogs I can find online here, you may find one that you had not heard of yet.
And leave a comment if you know of one not on this list!
Some of these are purely children’s ministry blogs, others like the Strange Games blog is a collection of strange games that every now and then I find a game for use with kids.
Most of these blogs are updated regularly, but a few have not been taken care in recent months. So tread carefully, and if you are some of the bloggers who are neglecting their blogs… beware of the wrath of a neglected internet… it can strike at any time… there is nothing quite as dangerous as an internet that has been forgotten about.
Oh and here is a list of pretty much all the blogs I read!
http://www.bloglines.com/public/kidinspiration
EDIT: So I missed out one the the more prolific CM Blogs, Jaded Children’s Minister Thanks MargieH for pointing that out! It is now added!
Wow! I just came out of one abilify no prescription of the most inspiring events of my life and I have to share it with you in hope that you to will be inspired.
This morning I attended the funeral of a child who died just minutes after being born three months premature. To see the love the parents showed towards that child and the impact his little life has had on our world in such a brief time was absolutely amazing!
This event really made me sit back and gain perspective on this amazing gift we have of life. Not only did I think about my life but the thousands of young lives I come into contact with every week. It inspired me to keep living for something bigger then myself. Keep sacrificing so I can see others find the same life I have found in Christ Jesus. Keep loving even when I don’t feel like it because I know the value of one life!
I know that next time I have another night out ministering to children or meeting with leaders that it’s all worth it. Next time I have to give up my day off to Pastor my kids that I have not wasted my time. Next time I ask my self the question “Why do I do what I do?” I will quickly answer with confidence “I do it because God has given me the revelation of the value of one life!”.
We as ministers to children are truely blessed and have the greatest opportunity to take the kingdom of God forward. Be excited that you are part of changing this world and ALWAYS REMEMBER WHY YOU DO WHAT YOU DO!
