Christmas Meaning
As a Dad of two, and also a Grandad of five beautiful Grandkids now all grown up, I find it’s sad when reading some of the emails I received, and how some people seem to think that Christmas for them has come and gone - just like any other day.
I guess and can understand how not having little kids racing around with toys all over the joint from opening their presents, can lead to this absence of the true meaning of Christmas.
The message that Christmas should give is one of “hope”; this can be achieved when one recalls how this all came about in the first place, and to remember to wish Jesus a Happy Birthday each year on December 25th !
Men urged to know their limits and to swim sober
I write to ask men in particular in your local area to help Royal Life Saving in its mission to prevent drowning this summer.
We know that too many men are taking unnecessary risks. They over-estimate their abilities and under-estimate the risks, and this continues to be our greatest challenge.
Men are over-represented in the drowning statistics, particularly men aged 25 to 44. In the past year, over 90 per cent of those who drowned in this age group were males.
Too many lives are being lost. It’s heart-breaking. We know that drowning impacts families and communities.
