WILD AND TAMED

GOODBYE RONI

In January,my dear & precious friend Veronica Dallamora passed on...preparing for her resurrection  to be with the Son Of God...Christ Jesus in the New Kingdom of God

I shall always treasure my time with her as we became very close.

She was such great company during our time in Brighton,England, in & out of church.

Her heart,mind & eyes were always fixed firmly on Jesus

She was an inspiration to me & a joy as we discussed the finer things of life & eternity.

When the radio production ministry finished @ CHR, I moved up to UCB in Staffs. I worked in many productions incl. OB's & Specials. Roni became involved as well as she provided regular reports about life & the Christian perspective from Australia.(she had moved back by then, after spending time with her sister Marisa in London) She had a terrific voice & wonderful elecution.

I remember the hrs we spent on the phone developing our relationship.

When I visited with her in Australia,she was the perfect host,introducing me to family,visiting places all around West Australia incl the Great Southlands,Albany,Magaret R region,Freo,Perth & a great day out at Rottnest & off course Rockingham...I will never forget the way she plastered me with all the Aussie paraphanalia of roos,koalas & corked hat at my arrival at Perth Int,the birds down in Denmark,Tumblegum,Caversham & our shopping trip to the mall...I still have an overcoat & shirt from 1999...expert Aussie workmanship.

When we parted there were tears in her eyes.

In 2013...Lea, her mother passed away which brought great sadness to me & naturally Roni & her family...The last Dallamora Matriarch had gone...but we will see you again Madam Lea

Roni was also struggling with her health & ultimately it was the cancer that took her life so tragically. Whilst she believed God would heal her...she was correct for now SHE IS HEALED, RENEWED & A VIBRANT,BEAUTIFUL SAINT PREPARING FOR HER FULL RESSURECTION.

.We had continued to communicate on a deep level up until shortly before she left her earthly vessel behind.

Roni...I shall always remember you with fondness & love & rejoice when I see you again in the New Kingdom of God & we will walk together again serving God for eternity

Her legacy to me has been that I have checked myself with God & bowed more earnestly to HIM. My desire to please & serve HIM more.

She had more courage,strength,dedication,discipline & insight  than anyone I know... 

Roni...you ran your race...I know God is pleased...He permitted a suffering for a while...& through that suffering & your courage you will have been a blessing to others. These are the mysteries of God...And so He took you out of this awful world...but now you are HEALED as we all will be in the Kingdom of God.

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,

And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;

If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with triumph and disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,

And stoop and build ’em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them:

“Hold on”;

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with kings—nor lose the common touch;

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run—

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,

And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

SCREAMING OUR ENTRANCE IN TO THIS WORLD

NOT KNOWING WHAT TROUBLE LAYS AHEAD

PLOUGHING THE FURROW TO WHERE...

WE GO THROUGH THE AGONY OF QUESTIONS

I MAKE MY DECISIONS...OH GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE

BUT HEY...WHAT IS THIS...MY GOD...HIS MERCY...HE RECIEVES ME...

I AM IN HIS ARMS A NEW BEGINNING...A NEW FUTURE...A NEW KINGDOM.

WE SHALL BE AT THE FEET OF CHRIST WHERE WE SHALL REIGN WITH HIM

WE SHALL REJOICE WE SHALL BE...

TOGETHER AGAIN.

Thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 

And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

PC gone crazy....patients making complaints against the med team which set up a typical socialist dictator inquisitions...

My life savings was stolen...

Banks interrested? no way

NANCI

Nanci Griffith passed away aged 68

I first became aquainted with her music in 85...She had a sweet voice & sang stories of her life growing up in the deep south.

She was Texas born but spent most of her professional life in Nashville.

She had hits with From a Distance before Bette Midler & Kathea Mathea's Love at the Five & Dime, which Nanci penned

Nanci was a prolific writer.

She had a special affinity with the Brit Isles especially Ireland.

I interviewed her in 86 & wrote a piece for a music mag. I also did a radio special on Nanci ...all lost in the mists of time & moves.

Nanci was a sweet,shy girl & as she always said at the end of her concerts...I'll see you...Yes Nanci I will see you when you are raised up in the resurrection God decides & then the truth will be revealed

GOODBYE SIR

Minden Elliott passed away...He lived a full life...a wonderful man...someone I shall see again in the New Kingdom.

ARWEN

The storm from the Artic hit us late Nov.

With winds up to 100 mph...it was a hurricane!

There was substantial damage,power & water outs & some loss of life.

I had quite a bit of damage to the property.
