Thank You to our Aussie Diggers
Earlier this year we went down to the Strand here in Townsville for a welcome home concert put on for Australian Soldiers who have served overseas in the last few years. Townsville is a "garrison" city, and a lot of our troops have been in Afganistan and East Timor in the last year. The city put on a well deserved concert and parade for them.At the concert was Shannon Noll, Claire Clarke, Garry Bradbury, 1RAR band, and Beccy Cole. The music was fantastic and the general feel at the event was one to celebrate and thank the troops and their contribution to Australia and the world.
I think that Beccy Cole's song "Poster Girl" highlights the general feel of most of us in Townsville towards the troops:
For that song Poster Girl Beccy Cole won three "Golden Guitars" for Single of the Year, Song of the Year and Female Artist of the Year. You can listen to more of Beccy Cole on her MySpace page here.
Note: The comedian Garry Bradbury was very inappropriate for a family event. His jokes may have been funny in the field for just the troops, but definitely not for all the kids at the event. He got very few laughs after the first few minutes.

My Latest Home Improvement Squidoo Pages
I've been trying to add content and stuff onto Squidoo, which is a site that allows you to create a "lense" about specific topics. I have been creating a few lately about different things I have blogs about, or write about on other sites.Here is a list of Squidoo Lense that I am currently working on:
- Renovating in Australia
This is a page that features some of my more popular posts on my Renovation Site. - Townsville Builder
Our builder here in Townsville does not have a web-site. I set this page up to highlight him and some of what he has done on our house. Working with him on our house has been a real pleasurable experience so far. - Termite Control
Termites are a huge problem here in Australia. This is a page with some of what I have learned about them since owning a house and property in Australia.
I have a few more lenses in the works, but these are the ones I have been working on recently. One of the ones that I plan to work on soon is for myself, Bill Hutchison. Because Squidoo ranks well in the search engines I hope to be able to set up the lense for my own name to rank well in the search engines so people can find me easily on-line.

No More Television - Again
I have stopped watching television before, twice, but I've decided not to watch television any more unless it is with Tamara or the kids.I think that I can to this decision when at 1:00am on Thursday last week I realised that I had just finished watching Stargate SG1 (good show, bad time slot). Rather than watching television that hour could have been put to much better use by doing pretty much anything, especially sleeping.
So I have done three things in the last week to help me make better use out of my time, and to help me get more sleep:
- No more TV unless I am watching it with Tamara or the kids.
- No more late night snacks or drinks,except on a painting night.
- I have set a "Go to bed" reminded on my computer for 11:30 so I don't loose track of time.

Are You Doing What God Wants You To Do?
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:
- Family
- Getting others involved in Christian Missions
- Communicating what God is doing in the Nations
- Not enough, but trying to find the balance between quality family time and getting things done
- 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
- Web site development for Reef to Outback and YWAM as a whole to assist to communicate what God is doing
If you want to share then let us know in the comments...

Update on our YWAM Outreach to Thailand
In my last article, Children at Risk Video - Lost in the Crowd, I had mentioned that Reef to Outback had a team in Thailand right now outreaching to Thai Prostitutes. They just sent an outreach update, and here are a few snippets from it:"Last Thursday we went and visited a ministry called "Night Light". Night Light is a Jewelry Company that sells Jewelry all over the world. Located in Nana, one of the major red light districts in the heart of Bangkok, it is a very literal light in the darkness. Night Light is a very young ministry, but you wouldn't be able to tell that by the 70+ women they had working for them making jewelry. Each of these 70 women used to be employed in the Sex Trade and have now left COMPLETELY making a living making jewelry for Night Light. The global sales of this jewelry pays the women's salaryYou can read the full outreach update from our School of Music in Missions team on the YWAM - Reef to Outback web-site.
...
Jess, Jill, Sara and Steph went into the heart of the red light district and talked to women who were working that night. Jess said she could literally feel Jesus walking beside her the entire time, and had conversations with women in the bars.
...
We are immersing ourselves in the issue of the Sex Trade. It is dark, it is sick, it is devilish, unbelievably perverted and excruciating, but God is there. God is in the bars, God is in the heart of a redeemed woman, God is in every piece of jewelry, God is there. God is making people new. And it is just the beginning."
