| Cr Paul Tully - promising to continue to help local flood victims. |
The Greater Goodna Flood Group was established to help all flood victims to get back on their feet as part of a support network with Goodna Flood Friends.
Goodna was the worst affected suburb in southeast Queensland last year with over 600 homes and businesses destroyed.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in 2013 as we all stick together and provide the mutual help and support which has been forthcoming from our local community during the past two years. - PaulGTully@gmail.com
Now, just for a little fun at Christmas time:
It had been raining for days and days and a terrible flood had come over the land. The waters rose so high that one man was forced to climb onto the roof of his house.
As the waters rose higher and higher, a man in a rowboat appeared, and told him to get in. "No," replied the man on the roof. "I have faith in the Lord; the Lord will save me." So the man in the rowboat went away. The man on the roof prayed for God to save him.
The waters rose higher and higher and suddenly a speedboat appeared. "Climb in!" shouted the man in the boat. "No," replied the man on the roof. "I have faith in the Lord; the Lord will save me." So the man in the speedboat went away. The man on the roof prayed for God to save him.
The waters continued to rise. A helicopter appeared and over the loudspeaker, the pilot announced he would lower a rope to the man on the roof. "No," replied the man on the roof. "I have faith in the Lord; the Lord will save me." So the helicopter went away. The man on the roof prayed for God to save him.
The waters rose higher and higher and eventually they rose so high that the man on the roof was washed away, and alas, the poor man drowned.
Upon arriving in heaven, the man marched straight over to God.
"Heavenly Father," he said, "I had faith in you, I prayed to you to save me, and yet you did nothing. Why?"
God gave him a puzzled look, and replied "I sent you two boats and a helicopter, what more did you expect?"
