It has been suggested that anthocyanins possess anti-inflammatory and…

God is always in control! “Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city” – Psalm 31:21. This psalm proclaims a personal truth for me, for God has surely revealed his marvellous kindness in my life! This is what the Lord has done for me.

Last Sabbath was no exception, and the residents were very happy by the look of ecstasy on one old man’s face as he lay back in his ‘comfy chair’. It has been a struggle, but we are…

These days, vows repeated at weddings seem to have lost their meaning. Marriage today is becoming an option which many couples choose not to pursue. Vowing to live with someone “‘till death do us part” is a huge commitment which many are not…

11 April 2016 On April 11th 2016, guests from the USA, Melbourne, Sydney, Queensland and Perth gathered together at the beautiful Golden Valley Tree Farm situated in Balingup, Western Australia, to witness the marriage of Emily Newman and Jonathan Brown.

Thankfully there was a large gazebo at the ceremony location, which…
