During the long weekend the Chinese and Australian
Baptist Church had a family camp at the Merroo Christian Conference Center.
This site’s got fat sheeps and a house of prayer. The theme of this camp is “I
love the Lord's Church”, and the Scripture is on Nehemiah. The speaker, Rev. Chan,
is a scholar on the book of Nehemiah. There is a feeling of familiarity in this
because my house used to be the gathering place for a cell group called “Nehemiah”.
When the group underwent dissolution because the cell group leader prepared to
give birth, I happened to be studying at Morling College. At that time, I felt
as though the hardware was there but the software suddenly crashed (actually it
wasn’t that serious… just a reorganisation of the cell group members to other
cell groups).
As I drove away from the camp grounds, I suddenly
saw a large black thing in the middle of the road! As I drove closer, it
suddenly grabbed a piece of meat (or an animal killed by a car) with its claws and
flew up. Shiny brown feathers, sharp eyes and beaks! It was a gigantic eagle! I
did not know that there are eagles in Sydney! This was the first time I had
such a closeup view of an eagle (Wedge-tailed eagle)! It flew to the grass next
to the road, and stared at me with its yellow eyes, as though it was angry that
I interrupted its lunch.
