So who's plant has been Mauled the worst???

So the other day we got back home after Pizza @ the Leenstra's to find that the body corporate of our complex was not satisfied with the state of our small front Garden bed, which we are supposed to look after and have not - OOPS! So the decided to do somethign about it and made it differently. One of the things they did was palnt a lonesome evergreen planty thingy (no idea what it is called). But obviously they did not like the longer leaves and decided to make it look like the poor plant has just joined the US Army - short back, no sides and Flat top.

After Robyn stopped laughing her head off we realised it looked like time for a competition, time to show the leenstra's that it is not only their plant that looks kie a war veteran. So here it is Competition Time!!!

Check out our before and after photo's of our poor plant (thanks though to the Body Corporate for trying to do soemthing about our garden bed).



This is what these plants usually look like!


And this is what ours looks like now!




So if you scroll down to the bottom of my blog you can vote for whose plant came of second best!

Holy Discontent - Bill Hybels

The author challenges us to say what is our / my Holy Discontent. What is that thing that you just feel I must do something about, at whatever the cost! He uses the example of a Mother Theresa in India, a Martin Luther King who said I cant stand for racism and inequality any more.

What did I take from this book? Well what is my Holy Discontent? What is that thing that drives me deep to the core and at whatever cost I must do!
