Commonwealth Games. Tonight I learned quite a lot about my home city. Such as: Australia vies with Israel for being the most multicultural nation in the world and Melbourne the most multi-cultural city. Melbourne is getting ready to host sportspeople and visitors from some 71 nations that make up the Commonwealth - a great opportunity to show friendship, helpfulness and care in the name of Christ. So Sue and I have been busy with workshops on balloon sculpturing, clowning and puppetry. Quite challenging for some people: the horror of a popping balloon, the squeaks of bubble twisting, the "dogs" that turn out with lop-sided legs and three ears! But in the midst of it all, balloon hearts that show love, and colorful flowers - they'll be great walking among the crowds at the venues.
