Help the homeless

I want to set up a farm to help children & teenagers at risk of homelessness or that are already homeless. I have a dream of opening a farm to help train, look after and care for homeless children. I plan to give these kids a huge chance to make something of themselves and to give them motivation to have a go at life. There is a population on the Gold Coast and Brisbane alone of over 1,500 children homeless and another 2,500 or more at risk. We have a responsibility to the younger generations to help them as we are now the next generation and the onus is on us to help them have a go at a life away from severe crime, violence, abuse and hard <b>drug</b>. Many of our generation have suffered the severe life trauma of being homeless or at risk at some point of time in life, where if there were somewhere or someone there our lives may not have ended up as they are or for many and these deep embedded scars may not be still there and presenting themselves today.

A book I am writing to help fund the farm, back cover example

Potaitovision, this is a story of one man’s journey through life, yes \bsexo?\b drugs and rock ‘n’ roll. His newfound relationship with God, living on the streets at ages 12 until 19. Mixing with the wrong people getting involved in crime, drugs and the underworld. Then gained a new Dad from Australia’s biggest rock band AC/DC, where he worked in his music shop learning the music industry and starting to fulfil his rock ‘n’ roll dreams, playing with and meeting very famous people. Later he started the multimedia department for the biggest Rugby League Club in Australia. In 1997, he was in a serious car accident twisting his c1 and c2 in neck miraculously still alive and able to walk. Sustained a serious Brain injury as was in a coma state for 7 weeks. In a heartbeat, you learn to love, to be pained and in a glance, life turns a new chapter. Nearly all of the proceeds of this book will be going to set up a farm to help the homeless to start a new leaf in life. It has been a dream off Jeff’s for many years now. It will be a minimum of 3 acres and they can live in tents to start with, better than the street, as you will find with stories of Jeff’s experience on the street. They can grow vegetables, have cows for milk, chickens for eggs, and do correspondence schooling to learn. Also other work on farm to bring in money and experience for their future. The main effort is to help them learn the whole world is not against them just because of some circumstances that led them to be homeless, unfortunately from their parents through abuse from and violence etc. Some through fault off their own, but do they really know what they are doing is wrong if taught like that? Hey if just one person is helped through this well so be it, better one than none. So just think from buying this book you will help to contribute to the plight of helping the homeless and hopefully learn a few things too, the homeless will also from the love and caring all have within.
P.S Why the name POTAITOVISION? Well Tait is Jeff’s surname as in
Jeffry Tait and Potato was the nickname of a good friend he had, also a potato is a seed like one he is planting to help the homeless, once planted people and God will help water it.
Also hopefully the name brings a smile in what Jeff hopes the homeless get with a little hope in their life.

Yes I have Potaitovision registered, so there's a start. I feel like God is telling me Mudgeeraba is the place for my farm, funny thing is it is near Robina the Church I have been playing in for the last 4 years. 3 acres will be enough to start, my father passed away and I will get an inheritance to be able to set up the farm, but I have just started a job as a property consultant and hope to use that money. I know how great God is and wait for the right timing, as I feel I have been learning allot. If anyone knows of a farm in the Mudgeeraba area where they can donate or sell at least 3 acres it would be much appreciated.
may God be with all

Darlene is an amazing writer and I am enjoying Her new book, hope others reading this will get it and have a look.
Just a nice prayer from the book by Frederick W Faber 1884-1863
O Jesus, Jesus, Dearest Lord!
Forgive me if I say. For very love. Thy sacred name a thousand times a day.
Love thee so I know not how my transports to control; thy love is like a burning fire within my very soul.
O wonderful that thou shouldst let so vile a heart as mine love thee with such a love as this and made so free with thine.
For thou to me art all in all my honor and my wealth. My hearts desire. My body's strength. My soul's eternal health.
What limit is there to this love? Thy flight. Where wilt thou stay? on, on! our Lord is sweeter far today than yesterday.

Words about Jesus I wrote for a DVD for Church

These words have pictures to go with them and music but the words are nice and I thought I would share them with all.
As a baby u took protection under your parents
As a you craved knowledge
As a teenage you thrived to acquire a status
You made friends, shared miracles and built lifelong friendship bridges.
You took your first steps of freedom to seek knowledge in a foreign land.
As a fully fledged Christian
You become my treasure
A mentor and one’s lifelong partner.
You stand on your own you’ve become responsible you’ve lived a life that only others thrive to try or wish to have.
Your word soothes an aching heart and you JESUS like ‘lotion’ brings comfort and security.
Your words are an angelic vision a true reflection of your purity and innocence.
I’ve searched high and low to find GOD
In you I’ve found friendship
I found truth
I found reason to anticipate coming home
I found love
You grew from a baby into an incredible person.
We have grown we’ve learnt we’ve loved
We’ve been loved and we have cried
You’ve made our house a home
Until we buy dentures and trip the youth with our canes
I will stand by you
You’ve become not a friend,
My confidante, my consultant
but my REDEEMER
Blood couldn’t make us closer
I love you deeply and truly and am honoured to say you a priceless treasure LORD JESUS
Togetherness until the last breath.
Not Forgotten
Thank you for saving Me

1 Corinthians 13 vs4-8
Love is patient, love is kind….it always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails

"Hollowed be your name"

The Lords prayer (Matt. 6.9)
"Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name"
To "hallow" something is to reverence it.
The word "hallow" is derived from a very important Bible word (hagiazo in the Greek) which means to venerate, to set apart for God and to make holy.
Does this mean that our veneration of God makes Him holy? No, for nothing we do can add to his qualities and nothing we do can detract from them either. God is the only being in the universe who needs nothing and no one to complete Him.

God is so wonderful and it is good to praise him for all his glory in your prayers. Don't miss prayer to God if you feel you have no time, there is always time to praise the beauty and grace of our precious father. God is great and should be praised first in prayer, then pray for other then yourself. Even if you feel something bad has happened and say how can I praise God for that? There is a reason for everything good and bad, and just thank the Lord for everything as he is so COOL

It is not good just to make requests for ourselves and ignore the needs of others, especially God as I like to give Him all the praise he deserves first then others then myself. God delights to bless us with material things, but He loves to give them to those who seek first his Kingdom (Matt. 6.33). And even then He hives according to our need rather than our wants.

Lord Jesus Christ,help me be clear that praying in Your name is not attaching Your name to what I want but seeking to discover what is right. This is a prayer I know without doubt I can ask
in Your name. Amen.

Repent as it meant in Jesus times

I learned a good message at a friends church last week and that is, how Jesus started with the word repent and in the old dictionary it meant to rethink, as in rethink your sins. Makes allot more sense now after hearing that.
