An Extraordinary Woman
By any standard, Avy Curley lived an extraordinary life and one worth noting. She mothered 18 children, received the Medal of the Order of Australia, founded the Bundi Club (where Aboriginal people still meet, serve and learn) and is proficient in Indigenous artwork.
Help Your Special-needs Child
All parents should apply the following eight suggestions to their relationships with their children, but they are especially important for dealing with children who have special needs.
From Sunday to Sabbath
When you think of Baptists, you probably think of baptism by immersion. When you hear the name Catholics, you may think of the virgin Mary or the Mass. Denominations are generally known for their distinct teachings or practices. So when you hear the name Seventh-day Adventist, what teaching pops into your mind? Most people say, “Ah, the Sabbath!” So what convinced me to keep the Sabbath on the seventh day?
