  3. In regards to the hundreds of people who have lost their homes and tragically, friends and family also in the Victorian fires I believe a sentence in jail for the murderers who committed these terrible crimes is too good for them. They should be thrown into the crowd of victims and let the victims sort them out. Those Bastards wouldn’t last two minutes!! Why should we the taxpayers pay for their accommodation in a jail cell with TV and 3 meals a day? It’s just so unfair…

  4. I agree whole hearted ly to S.Coverdale comments: if found guilty – throw the fire lighters -what ever age they are to the victims.
    Tax payers should not have to pay for their comfort in prison after such a terrible crime,if they want to enjoy a fire let them really experience the pain and terrible fear throw them into a fire.
    They are not sick, they are premeditating a serious crime that kills, they know what they are doing as soon as they strike the first match. if the culprits turn out to be under age they should be refused the right to be dealt with in the children courts deal with them in a criminal court as they are worse than mass murderers- they are gut less cowards that need a strong wake up call.
    Being a grandma and living in the country my heart goes out to those poor victims

  5. To all the victims of the bush fires our hearts and thoughts are with you in these hard times and we hope you can rebuild yours lives and be happy again.

    Whispers

    The man whispered, “God, speak to me” and a meadowlark sang.

    But, the man did not hear.

    So the man yelled, “God, speak to me” and the thunder rolled across the sky.

    But, the man did not listen.

    The man looked around and said, “God let me see you.” And a star shined brightly.

    But the man did not see.

    And, the man shouted, “God show me a miracle.” And, a life was born.

    But, the man did not notice.

    So, the man cried out in despair, “Touch me God, and let me know you are here.”

    Whereupon, God reached down and touched the man. But, the man brushed the butterfly away .

    and walked on.

    I found this to be a great reminder that God is always around us in the little and simple things that we take for granted … even in our electronic age.

    So I would like to add one more:

    The man cried, “God, I need your help!” And an e-mail arrived reaching out with good news and encouragement.

    But, the man deleted it and continued crying .

    Don’t miss out on a blessing because it isn’t packaged the way that you expect.

    My instructions were to send this to people that I wanted God to bless and I picked the people of Victoria, so please pass this to people you want to be blessed.

    Have A Happy Day!
