“What happens if you can no longer make decisions?”
“What happens if you can no longer make decisions?”
That’s what it says on the front page of the Age Concern New Zealand brochure. There are more questions in the pamphlet. The next question is: Do you have an enduring power of attorney (an EPA)?”
We find the answer to the first question in the Bible:
“Remember your Creator
Ecclesiastes 12:1-5
Intr.:
in the days of your youth,
1. before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, ‘I find no pleasure in them’ –
2. before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars grow dark, and the clouds return after the rain;
a. when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men stoop,
b. when the grinders cease because they are few, and those looking through the window grow dim;
c. when the doors to the street are closed and the sound of grinding faints;
d. when men rise up at the sound of birds, but all of their songs grow faint;
e. when men are afraid of heights and of dangers in the streets;
f. when the almond tree blossoms and the grasshopper drags himself along and the desire no longer is stirred.
End:
Then man goes to his eternal home and mourners go about the streets.”
“This is our Place”
The Northland Age is our local paper and readers are invited to submit photos depicting the Far North’s special qualities to the editor for “THIS IS OUR PLACE”. I submitted the photo below and it was printed in The Northland Age on Tuesday, March 26, 2013.

“Reach for the World”
“Reach for the World.” I find that message written on bookmarks I picked up at our library here in Kaitaia.
And that’s exactly what I did when I was a kid. I read books to “reach the world”. I read the books about foreign countries in order to go there one day.
