Blogger Bec What a game. What a thrown game. Very disappointed Mr.Moody, very disappointed. Sri Lanka chose not to play two extremely key players in this tussle between 2 of the best teams in the world and as a result, Sri Lanka never really put up any fight. Yes, Malinga was injured. But Vaas and Murali were NOT. They were just rested. That is like resting Ponting and Gilchrist because they wanted to save them for the finals. I'm sorry but that just ain't cricket. Still, lots of fabulous shots by the hardened and magical Aussie blokes and some inspired bowling by Bracken. We had our banner out ("G'day Jingers, the Zhous and Oz") which was hit by a 4 by the orgasm-inducing-in-Mark-Nicholas Matty Hayden. We also GOT ON TV!! When Jayawadene was dismissed by ... read more

Blogger Dougo We arrived in St George's, Grenada, yesterday afternoon after a short 35 minute island hopper flight from Port of Spain, Trinidad. A short Taxi ride ($50 EC or $25 AUD) to Mitchell's Guest House and we had soon settled in for our stay in Grenada. Easter Sunday meant absolutely NOTHING was open so we just went for a walk around the water front and up the hill to look at the brand new Grenada National Stadium. Fully rebuilt after Hurricane Ivan totally destroyed it back in 2004, the stadium looked pretty impressive. All around the town there is still evidence of the destruction that the island endured three years ago. Churches with their roofs ripped clean off, houses without walls or windows. Today we got to the ground early (8:30am) coz we new ... read more

Hello everyone, it is very late at night but here I am documenting the day. Today was our shopping day in St. George's. We went to the Spiceland Mall and the local artisans market where I picked up a few great souvenirs. Then went to swim in the Caribbean Sea-the water is so clear you can see right to the bottom and the sand at Grand Anse beach is some of the whitest I have ever seen. A little girl named Nia tried to show me how to the do the butterfly because she said I was doing it wrong-not that I am an expert really but neither was she--we laughed together. This evening we had an outdoor worship/music concert in the parking lot of the mall. THere was a small crowd but all 40 of ... read more

Hello everyone, Today was the first day of Vacation Bible School and we were working at Belair church. I am directing the program with about 20 of my friends here. We had 18 kids attend from ages 3-16. We sang a great new song to start off that the kids loved called I only want to be a sheep. It was so thrilling to see the smiles on their faces as they did their bible activities, sang songs, played games and made crafts. They were so excited about their bookmarks and especially singing songs with actions. Their smiles and laughter was uplifting. Everyone who was teaching, many of whom were leading groups of kids for the first time did a great job and were flexible in meeting the needs of all our kids. Bel Air is ... read more
