G’day! Byron the Quokka here, reminding you that we have a comment contest going–and there aren’t any bloomin’ comments yet today!

Only 984 comments to go, to get to No. 47,000, and the reader who posts it wins… oh, one of those autographed books he’s always giving out. Anyone can play, as many times as you like, and all comments are eligible, except [riffles through rulebook; clears throat]–

“Comments abusive to anyone else on this site; comments containing blasphemy or profanity; commercials thinly disguised as comments; comments simply too inane to bother with.”

My cousin Lucy likes inane comments, but she’s the only one.

So let’s see how fast we can get to 47,000! And later today I’ll run up Question No. 4 in the Bell Mountain Trivia Contest.

(I hope these generate some excitement soon! This is my first job ever, and I don’t want to…

"Seek ye the LORD while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near: [7] Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon." - Isaiah 55:6-7 "[1] Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of Thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. [2] Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. [3] For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. [4] Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in Thy sight: that Thou mightest be justified when Thou speakest, and be clear when Thou judgest. [5] Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. [6] Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part Thou shalt make me to know wisdom. [7] Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. [8] Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which Thou hast broken may rejoice. [9] Hide Thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. [10] Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. [11] Cast me not away from Thy presence; and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me. [12] Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and uphold me with Thy free Spirit. [13] Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto Thee. [14] Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of Thy righteousness. [15] O Lord, open Thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth Thy praise. [16] For Thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: Thou delightest not in burnt offering. [17] The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise. [18] Do good in Thy good pleasure unto Zion: build Thou the walls of Jerusalem. [19] Then shalt Thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon Thine altar." - Psalm 51:1-19 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - John 3:16 I am a Christian, and I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior from my sins! Praise the LORD for saving such a sinful wretch like me!! Courage, Christian soldiers serving under King Jesus' banner! "What shall we then say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31) "Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ." (2 Timothy 2:3) Favorite book: The Holy Bible, which is the Word of God. “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” (2 Timothy 3:16) Other favorite books: The Bell Mountain Series by Lee Duigon; The Remnant Trilogy by Tim Chaffey and K. Marie Adams; The Crown & Covenant Trilogy and Hostage Lands by Douglas Bond; The Ultimate Proof of Creation by Jason Lisle; Morning and Evening by Charles Spurgeon; etc. I highly recommend these books! 📖😃

      1. It was awesome! We went to a friend’s house who lives up on a mountain, with an ideal view of the fireworks! 😉
        On our way home there was insane traffic, more than on a normal 4th of July. The next morning we realized that it was because there was a maniac in the area who took advantage of the noise of the fireworks, and starting shooting at random into a crowd. Thankfully nobody was hurt! Well, the guy himself was shot by a policeman, but he deserved it! 🙂

        Do you have a similar holiday that you celebrate in Japan?

        1. Wow! Seems like you guys had a fun time! I thank the Lord for keeping the crowd safe.
          We don’t usually celebrate the Japanese holidays, just the New Year holiday. Actually we didn’t really do anything on July Fourth, just the same as any God-given day!

        2. Yes. Amen!
          That’s understandable.

          Hey! So, as a sort of update: Nev Scharrel’s manager had to cancel, because of a film union law that we would have to sacrifice a lot to comply with.

          I was really bummed out about that, and was on the phone for about an hour with the union; seeing if there was any way, at all, that we could make it work out. But, they are a union, and therefore do not exist to help small businesses out. That was one of the most frustrating phone calls that I’ve ever been on in my entire life! (And I’ve talked to well over a thousand people on the phone over the last two years!)

          Well, anyway, Nev will not be in Second Chances. I think it was a test. And I failed miserably.

          I started to think that I could rely on a movie star to make our film a success, and I temporarily took my eyes off of Christ.

          I thought of that right when I got off the phone call with the union, immediately I knew that God was testing me, to see if I was fully trusting Him with this project.

          Anyway, to us at least, right now it seems as if we just lost an amazing opportunity; but: “…we know that all things work out for the good, for those who are called…”, so I know that in the in the long run this will turn out for the best.

          I’d best be getting to bed now. It’s late over here!
