Some Australian Christmas Carols

Our family had some fun this year and recorded some Australian Christmas Carols and put them on the web. My son certainly had the most fun, and really let it rip at the end...
Merry Christmas to everyone ...

New Blog for Bill Hutchison

Posted on Wednesday, December 17, 2008 in Personal
I have moved over to a self hosted blog at www.billhutchison.org.

I will be updating the RSS feed and e-mail subscriptions shortly, so if you are subscribed to this blog via FeedBurner then you will automatically start to receive any new posts from the new site.

The move is being made for multiple reasons, and should result in a better posting schedule for myself as it will be easier for me to do so.
This is an ad revenue sharing blog.



Thank you for your patience and for reading this blog ...

Again, the new blog for Bill Hutchison is www.billhutchison.org.

Are You Doing What God Wants You To Do?

Posted on Monday, May 5, 2008 in Personal

This is an ad revenue sharing blog.


Although the video is produced for an Internet Marketing audience, it certainly fits in with asking the questions, "What does God want me to do?".

If I were to write down the three things I'm most passionate about would be:
  1. Family
  2. Getting others involved in Christian Missions
  3. Communicating what God is doing in the Nations
What am I doing about pursuing those passions?
  1. Not enough, but trying to find the balance between quality family time and getting things done
  2. With the marketing that I do at Reef to Outback I feel this is the best way to help others find out about opportunities available in missions
  3. Web site development for Reef to Outback and YWAM as a whole to assist to communicate what God is doing
How about you, what are your top three passions and what are you doing to pursue them?

If you want to share then let us know in the comments...

Only $900 More Needed for a New Laptop

Posted on Wednesday, February 27, 2008 in Personal
So far we have raised about $1300 of the $2200 needed for a new laptop. We only need another $900 for a new laptop to replace the one that died back in November.

Part of being in YWAM means that we need to raise all our own finances for any tools that we use (like the laptop), as well as our everyday living. You can check out the original article about us raising the money on our YWAM ministry site.

My Latest Book Review - The Golden Buddha - The Oregon Files

Posted on Tuesday, February 19, 2008 in Personal
Golden-Buddha-by-Clive-Cussler-and-Craig-DirgoI got the book "The Golden Buddha - The Oregon Files" by Clive Cussler and Craig Dirgo for my birthday this year.

It was a good book that I managed to read in under a week, which with the busyness of our life right now is pretty quick.

On one of my other web-sites, Blog About Books, you can read the full review of Golden Buddha - The Oregon Files by Clive Cussler and Craig Dirgo.

I Passed my Australian Citizenship Test!

Posted on Tuesday, February 5, 2008 in Personal
This morning I went for my Australian Citizenship Interview and Test.

The interview wasn't anything more than taking my photo and scanning my documents. I was told to budget 30-minutes for the interview, but it probably only took about 5-minutes.

I was escorted to the back room of the Australian Centrelink office where they had a room set-up with two computers for the citizenship test. They set me up on the computer where I had to answer 20 multiple-choice questions in a 45-minute time frame.

The topics covered by the Australian Citizenship Test were:
  • A story of Australia (Australian History)
  • Australian Values
  • Governing the Country (Australian Government)
  • Our Land, Our Nation
  • Responsibilities and Privileges of Australian Citizenship
The three questions in the Responsibilities and Privileges of Australian Citizenship were mandatory questions, so I had to get those three correct. The pass mark for the test was 60%.

There were a few questions that I was only 90% sure I got right, but overall I was pretty confident. When I got the results I scored 100% on the Australian Citizenship test!

I was glad that I had read through the Becoming and Australian Citizen booklet two times, and also gone through a bunch of the Australian Citizenship example tests. Some of the controversy over the test is the Australian sports questions. There were only two sports questions on the test, and since I have lived here for almost ten years already, they were pretty easy ones.

My interview was due to start at 11:30. I had arrived 15-minutes early just because I was too scared to be late. They got me into the interview early and I was done the interview and the test by 11:30. I was pleasantly surprised.

Now the next step will be to send in my application form, wait until it's been approved and then attend an Australian Citizenship Ceremony.
