Olympic's 2008 - 24 Hour News - Robert Newbery

It's Great currently to wake up and receive
such clear television pictures of the
OLYMPICS 2008 Live from China daily.

This morning it was the turn of the Diving
of course Great Britain all had high hopes
of our 14 year old TOM DALEY but to be
realistic it may?? be 2012 here in London. I did feel for BLAKE ALDRIDGE, Tom's Diving Pairs Partner, Tom needs to learn it is about TWO not just yourself.

It was so good to see one of my own personal favourites Aussie ROBERT NEWBERY (Pictured in China) who I have followed since he was 18 and still some years later he still looks good and did so well this morning, he richly deserved more. Great sportsmen like Robert inspire and are such a great role model for young up and coming Olympic Prospects!

We are so fortunate that television pictures can be beamed around the world so quickly and so clear, but it is not always good news. This last weekend and this morning we see the pointless loss of life and damage being done to Georgia - when will greed stop action like this happening and powers that are strong trying to show their might when they are just plain Bullies!

Recently we had pictures of earthquakes in Asia and it allows us to see the hurt and pain these people suffered, but it alerts us to help at the same time.

Enjoy the Olympics let's Hope it is a time of Peace when Sport can Unite Together!

NEW BIRTH - NEW BEGINNINGS

A WARM WELCOME TO THIS WORLD TO BOSTON
BORN 31 JULY 2008 - 8lb 3oz

What a True Gift and Blessing the Birth of a New Baby is so a warm welcome to the World to Boston who entered this life on the 31st July 2008 in Provo USA.

Congratulations to my Best Friends Mark and Natasha, I am so pleased for both of You! - I know you will make a tremendous loving Dad and Mum to Boston.

The Birth of a new baby always makes us think of new beginnings in our own lives and fresh starts. Often when one door seems to close, we think we must make a new choice, but do we? should we first make the most of what we have had or still have and then go forward in Faith! - I recently wrote about being given strength, how quickly sometimes we are challenged once again and feel doubts, my Bible reading this morning was from Lamentations Chapter 2, and that re-assurance returns.
