To my Daughter 'if you happen to stumble upon this', I last saw you on January 21st 2008 when you were only 14. I have never seen you since. You only have one Father. You were my only child. Remember...
 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, and it is not proud. Love is not rude, is not selfish, and does not become angry easily. Love does not remember wrongs done against it. Love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth. Love patiently accepts all things. It always trusts, always hopes, and always continues strong.

For everybody who indulges in alcohol/drugs. Remember you have one life. Give it to Jesus the ultimate drug with no down side.

"All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world."

R.I.P. Bless you Bense. You will always be loved.

Truly an amazing and wonderful man, brave at heart in the face of so many difficulties..You certainly have fought the good fight, now rest

Don't shoot the wounded, they need us more than ever
They need our love no matter what it is they've done
Sometimes we just condemn them,
And don't take time to hear their story
Don't shoot the wounded, someday you might be one

 
With Thanx to Chuck Girard

A Little bit about us

We were both born in Victoria Australia. I'm a 1960's child and Jacinta is a 1970's child. I grew up in Menzies Creek and Jacinta in Kew. We both love cats and have a fondness for the mountains. Our current QTH is 350 Metres above sea level, which gives us a great take-off point for radio.

We met in Late 2003. Obviously I fell in love the minute I saw her. I mean who wouldn't!

We had both gone through a lot of things in life and as a consequence were struggling emotionally. This was a bond between us that grew as the  days, weeks, months, and obviously years went on.

We were married on May 1st 2004 in a little church that I used to go to Sunday school to, when I was little. Our reception was at a restaurant where I used to play guitar at."

Many things happened over the next few years, some great times, but also many tragedies. As I look back on many of them I realise that all of that brought us closer together.

As for radios. I first got a CB in 1991. It was a Uniden 640e Pro AM/SSB. I updated to a Uniden UH-100 UHF in 1997, then to an AM-UHF UH-095sx combination in 2008 and then got into Amateur radio in 2009. My better half's experience was in 1991 with a 27MHz unit in her friends garage. I guess there were lots of boys trying to talk over each other to get a hold of this YL, but l prevailed some 13 years later. :-)

We got our Standard Call at ARKS Academy in the Dandenong Ranges 4 months after we got our Foundation licence. 100% pass rate I hear!

This is just a little story. As Life Goes On.

A new life after alcohol dries up

NEWS STORY DATED - 18th December 2007 CLICK BELOW
http://www.starnewsgroup.com.au/mail/ranges-trader/119/story/52960.html

Menzies Creek residents Ian Gasson and his wife Jacinta say there is life after alcoholism.

A MENZIES Creek man has warned hills people of the dangers of over indulging with alcohol this Christmas. Ian Gasson, a recovering alcoholic, says there is life without alcohol. As the festive season approaches Mr Gasson has urged people to think seriously before drinking to excess. He said that enjoying time with family and friends was always more important than over indulging with alcohol. “In our Australian culture, alcohol is widely misused especially during times of celebration like Christmas and New Years Eve,” he said. “But let this Christmas be a time for celebration, not regrets.” Mr Gasson said he first realised he had a problem with drinking to excess in December last year.

For the past eight years Mr Gasson has been slowly sliding into alcoholism after losing several close family members. In 1998 Mr Gasson’s father died and the following year his sister died which had an impact on his downhill slide. Following the death of his sister in 1999, Mr Gasson was again dealt a blow when he had to give up his job as a computer technician and music teacher to care for his mother who was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2001. His mother died on Christmas night in 2002 but six months later Mr Gasson dusted himself off and was ready to return to work. Mr Gasson had decided to go back to school to further his education but he soon found that he was unable to cope with either work or study. He said over the years with all the tragedies that he had to face his alcohol consumption increased steadily. But it wasn’t until December last year did he realise that his drinking was out of hand. Mr Gasson was drinking up to two casks of wine a week. “As many people in our culture do I turned to alcohol for comfort,” he said.

Mr Gasson said it was on Friday 1 December 2006, that he was given a sign from God that it was time to stop drinking. “I am not a religious person but it was a God-like moment that made me realise what I was doing and stop drinking,” he said. “I remember standing over the bin with an empty cask in my hand and it came to me – I don’t need this any more and since then I haven’t touched a drop.

” Mr Gasson said he went off the alcohol ‘cold turkey’ without any help from any support groups – only his wife, Jacinta, was there to help him. Since giving up alcohol Mr Gasson has lost more than 25 kilograms and is now back to exercising three times a week and loving life. He now wants to spread the message that there is life without alcohol and help others to realise that they too can give it up.

Ian and his wife Jacinta say that Jesus Still Does Miracles

After battling an illness for over a decade. Jacinta decided to take up regular exercise. Four years later she lost about 20 kilos and is feeling and looking much better for it.

It has been a dedicated effort by a husband and wife team, between them losing about 45 kilos. The photos of Jacinta and Ian above, show their remarkable results. Praise God we have a lot more confidence now. And in a world of almost constant bad news its good to see that a married couple still believe that...
