Flower Petal Gardening Service

Spot Free is the only company in New Zealand cleaning ceilings using dry steam.Owner Colin Dale says most cleaners rub ceilings

with a damp cloth or mop – a process which leaves matt painted ceilings, common in modern homes, with unsightly rub marks.

“The only fi x is a costly re-paint.”Colin says Spot Free uses powerful, 80 degree steam

which fl ushes off fl y-dirt, mould and grease leaving ceilings looking stunning – with no new rub marks.

This process uses no chemicals and saves most homeowners thousands by not having to repaint their ceilings.

They can also clean scotias and lights for a totally ‘Spot Free’ result.

As a child growing up in England the young Emma Richardson fell under the spell of a warm country halfway around

the world with bountiful oceans and wonderful seas to explore.

These were the stories her father, Robert Andrucci, would share with her about his great memories from living here and expeditions with the Tauranga Dive Club.

Years later Emma has adopted Tauranga as her home and the seasoned marine biologist is sharing her love of the sea with a new generation, through a children’s book on marine science.

A mum herself, Emma has been frustrated by a lack of good children’s science books and is now doing her part to fi ll a gap.

The story is about a young girl, Ruby, who is listening to her father’s story about the sea crea-tures he saw as a scuba diver. Emma says the book is partly a tribute to her dad, who gave her love of the sea. Fittingly it uses photos her father took when diving.

“I’m excited about getting the book out there and am already working on two other books.”

Emma’s continuing to share her love for the unseen marine world on our doorstep in her next projects – a children’s book on seaweed and a more detailed book on the subject for adults. In keep-ing with Emma’s hope that children will use it to help them learn about the creatures in our seas, a waterproof version of the book is available for the beach. For details email eandrucci@xtra.co.nz

Sea-lover Emma Richardson is hoping her children’s science book ‘Ruby and the Sea

Creatures’ will introduce a new generation to the wonders on our doorstep. Photo by Tracy Hardy.

The Weekend Sun62

In speaking about the conditions on the earth in these last days, Jesus states in

Luke 21:26 that these are the days when “men’s hearts will fail them because of

fear and the expectation of those things coming upon the earth”.

Wars, nuclear weapons, chemical warfare, health pandemics, climate change, depletion of the earth’s resources, fi nancial meltdown, poverty, tsunamis, earthquakes, tornados, typhoons, fl oods, violence, lawlessness, the breakdown of society, the breakdown of the family unit and family values, and more! Isaiah 60:2 verse declares: “See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples.” No wonder we have a generation of young people who declare they have no hope and no vision for their future

Recently I watched the Santa parade through the streets of

Mount Maunganui. It was a great event. Lots of people

and all sorts of fl oats. But to me, noticeably absent was a fl oat with the nativity scene, usually so prominent and taking pride of place in Christmas parades. Not one single fl oat with Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus. Sadly the very reason for the season was not there!

Christmas is not “Happy holiday season”, it is not all about celebrating family and the “xmas” season. If that’s all we think Christmas is, then we’ve missed the main event. We’ve missed the reason for the season.

Many celebrate Christmas by thinking about the baby Jesus, about angels, Nativity scenes and Children’s presentations, about carol singing, Christmas trees and decorations, holidays and sunny weather, beaches and bikes, togs and towels. Christmas is about these things but it is all about far, far, far more than just those things, as great as they all are. Christmas, really, is about Jesus. He is the reason for the season! What’s the point of a celebration if we don’t remember the real point of the celebra-tion in the fi rst place?

The truth is He is the First and Last,

the Beginning and the End! He is the keeper of Creation and the Creator of all!

He is the Architect of the universe and The Manager of all times. He always was, He always is, and He always will be... Unmoved, Unchanged, Undefeated, and never Undone! He was bruised and brought healing! He

was pierced and eased pain! He was persecuted and brought freedom! He was dead and brought life! He is risen and brings power! He reigns and brings peace!

The world can’t understand Him, armies can’t defeat Him, schools can’t explain Him, and leaders can’t ignore Him. Herod couldn’t kill Him, the Pharisees couldn’t confuse Him, and the people couldn’t

hold Him! Nero couldn’t crush Him, Hitler couldn’t silence Him, the New Age can’t replace Him, and Oprah can’t explain Him away!

Yes, Christmas is about remember-ing and celebrating that fi rst Nativity, when God loved mankind so much that He sent His Son, Jesus.

Christmas is about Christ… Jesus Christ coming to earth to live and die for you and me. Now that’s something worth celebrating!

True hope instead of hopelessnessbecause they don’t see this current world and the world system sustain-ing them until old age. Either, they say, we will wipe one another out, or the planet will be unable to sustain or support us.

Contrary to all logic and past and current experience, some still believe mankind will be able to fi nd a way out of the increasingly dim situation the world is in. However, the Bible declares there is no hope outside of God and a vibrant, personal, commit-ted relationship with Him.

Ephesians 2:12 says unless we are saved through faith in Christ, we are “without hope and without God in the world”. Job 8:13 says that “the hope of the godless shall perish”. Proverbs 10:28 declares that “the expectation of the wicked (those who are out of harmony with God) comes to nothing”.

Scripture makes it clear however, that there is hope for those who are

in Christ, through new birth. The psalmist declares in Psalm 71:5: “For You are my hope; O Lord God, You are my trust from my youth and the source of my confi dence”. Paul speaks in Romans 15:13 about “the God of hope”.

Dear reader, if you are one who is greatly anxious about the things that are happening in the world and in our nation today – if you are in fear because of the circumstances you fi nd yourself in – there is hope in God alone! He is the God who cannot fail. With Him, all things are possible.

He is the God of hope for those who have come to Him through salvation in Christ. We would love to show you God’s pathway to salvation and to a relationship with the God of hope.
