Goomeri - Pumpkin Festival

Pumpkins about to roll.
Everyone takes their place ready to watch the pumpkins, roll, bounce, crash, split as they make their journey down the bottom.
Who's will win the money?

How beautiful are they?


We have thirty or more that constantly fly around our garden, eating from the furry things on the trees.

"Billy Graham's Wife Ruth Dies at 87
AP - Thu, 14 Jun 2007 21:33:40 -0400 (EDT)
By MIKE BAKER

Ruth Graham, who surrendered dreams of missionary work in Tibet to marry a suitor who became the world's most renowned evangelist, died Thursday. She was 87. Graham died at 5:05 p.m. at her home at Little Piney Cove, surrounded by her husband and all five of their children, said a statement released by Larry Ross, Billy Graham's spokesman.
"Ruth was my life partner, and we were called by God as a team," Billy Graham said in a statement. "No one else could have borne the load that she carried. She was a vital and integral part of our ministry, and my work through the years would have been impossible without her encouragement and support.
"I am so grateful to the Lord that He gave me Ruth, and especially
for these last few years we've had in the mountains together. We've rekindled the romance of our youth, and my love for her continued to grow deeper every day. I will miss her terribly, and look forward even more to the day I can join her in Heaven.""

I came across this article today be accident - but I'm sure God guided me this way.
I was actually looking advertisments for Goat collars.
But why this story stuck me - when i was a youngster - Yes many moons ago. The chapel I used to attend at Oldbury-Upon-Severn. Used to take us to the "Big Blue Tent"?!!
"The Big Blue Tent" was where we met many. many, Christian's - and was headed by Billy Graham.
I have never forgotten these experiences, and now feel sadness for him.
