DUMP SITE CHRISTIANS

Ben comes to church! Ben standing to the left with my daughter in law, Lara de Beer, who is conducting an outreach project to the poorest of the poor at the dump sites near Klerksdorp, South Africa. See her and my son's web site http://www.chosenbygod.co.za/ On 4 March 2009, the Prime Minister of Great Brittian, Mr Gordon Brown, addressed the American House of Congress in a historic event, mainly about the looming economic recession world wide...He quoted his late father, a pastor by profession, who said that wealth should be shared with the poor and the needy. In this epoch making speech Gordon Brown actually emphasized the Christian norms to uplift and develop the peoples of all nations not only with money, but to dignify them as human beings...He drew a number of standing ovations from the American House of Congress...Commentators world wide quoted his speech and especially mentioned the religious undertone...And hereby hangs a tale to be told: Lara on the photo is exactly doing what Brown's father said, namely, to go out to the poorest of the poor and uplift them with the word of God. She collects old clothes, wash and iron it, package it in shopping bags that have been thrown away and then shelve it like in a real shop. This photo shows a man after he was uplifted and clothed with "new" and fresh clothes with the message that it is by the grace of the Lord that he could be clothed, also with "real new" spiritual clothing...Lara's philosophy is to dignify fallen people. It takes a long time before they reach the stage when they take the courage to come to Spirit Word church in Stilfontein, Klerksdorp, South Africa. Spirit Word services of Prophet Kobus Van Rensburg can be viewed on world wide open television broadcasts...Blogging and Face book networking is so important to carry forth Gordon Brown's message of his father to civilised people who care for their fellow human beings who are in need of a better live.

ROCKET GAMES FOR KIDS

WALL-E robots were first discovered by my terrible three and horrible four grand kids. Long before I have read about it in the commentary of the animation film on the big screen movie theatres! When I actually saw the movie, I thought kids at that age won't understand...but how wrong could a grandfather be! They designed it in their scrap books and the next thing was their detailed instructions to me how to build it. Especially the hatch that must open to fumble the rubbish. And of course the telescopic eyes and electronic brains galore. Only when I thought I was a co-discoverer of aliens from space, my son, Johan, showed me his shot at WALL-E. (See his Face book for his model). Great trash stories followed in our backyard with cockroaches carefully preserved for the future green revolution. Really an exciting rocket science project to save our green planet!
