Halloween is actually short for 'All-hallow-even' which is the eve of All Saints day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All Saints Day is a day in which Christian heroes are remembered, the greatest hero being</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Jesus Christ. Jesus, the very Son of God, came into this world as a man 2000 years ago to pay the penalty for sin. My sin, your sin, everyone's sin. The Bible says that 'All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God' (Romans 3:23) and in sinning we are rejecting the all knowing, all loving, all powerful Creator. The consequences of such rejection is a life without God even into eternity. This is called Hell. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It really will be hell.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And yet, there is hope. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Jesus is our hope and the way to true life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When Jesus died on the cross He took the punishment that we deserve and paid in full with His own life. He rose from the dead and now offers forgiveness for sin and the way to eternal life. All we need to is to believe in Him, the Son of God who paid for our sin, ask His forgiveness and accept it. That is hope! Blessed and assured hope!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My brother got his first helicopter ride yesterday - not quite in the way anyone would want to get a ride - but at least he is ok. Kind of wish this family of mine would just find another profession! Thought I would just put the article here.....</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">

Ready to winch: The scene near the accident site in the Koromiko Valley with the Westpac rescue helicopter ready to pull Shannon Beard to safety.</div>
</div>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">

Shannon Beard thought he was dead when he woke after rolling 200 metres into the Koromiko Valley in his log skidder.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
The 31-year-old logging contractor crashed off a skid site above the valley near Picton about 9am yesterday.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
A paramedic was lowered from a helicopter to assess and immobilise Mr Beard so he could be winched out and flown to Wairau Hospital, in Blenheim.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Amazingly, the logger suffered only a broken shoulder and ribs and cuts to his head.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Lying on the couch at home in Spring Creek last night, the father of three young children said he had thought he was dead.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
He was not certain how the accident happened. A log he was pulling kicked out, dragging the back of his skidder over the side of the hill, he said. "I felt it go over the first three or four times and I put my hand over my head. Then I must have passed out. When I woke up, the guys were all round me."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">

One of his brothers was killed in a car crash in 2005 and his father lost his right leg in a logging accident in 2010, so when she heard the helicopter had been called to take her man to Wellington Hospital, she desperately hoped it wasn't true.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
"I thought he [Mr Beard's brother] was lying. I hoped he was lying. But he wasn't. The words ‘helicopter' and ‘Wellington' do not sit well in this house."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Fortunately, the injuries were not serious and once the paramedics had made sure he had no internal injuries, they decided to take him Wairau Hospital, in Blenheim, about 10am, where he was treated and discharged late afternoon.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Despite being shaken by the near miss, the couple were able to crack a joke about how Mr Beard had been wanting to go for his first helicopter ride.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
"It would have been all right if I could see out the window," he said with a grin.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Still groggy from the events of the day, Mr Beard said the full nature of his escape had not hit him yet.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
The hospital had said he would be off work for a few weeks, but Kelly was sure he would not be sitting round for long.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
"He will be hunting or fishing by the end of the week. The kids will soon scare him outside."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
The forestry site is owned by Marlborough Regional Forestry and managed by Merrill and Ring.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Merrill and Ring forest manager Murray Turbitt said the skidder Mr Beard was in probably saved his life.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
"They're designed for roll-over. They've got all the protection built in and he was wearing his seatbelt. It's some comfort that it does the job it's designed to do, I guess," he said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
An Occupational Safety and Health forestry officer visited the site yesterday and it would be up to the Business, Innovation and Employment Ministry to decide when the site would reopen for work, Mr Turbitt said. <span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Plans were made to recover the skidder in the next day or two.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Mr Beard's family logging crew, K & S Beard Logging, were a very experienced crew, who had had only one other serious accident in the eight or nine years they had been working for Merill and Ring, he said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Westpac rescue helicopter crewman Julian Burn said he was amazed Mr Beard wasn't more seriously injured.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
He put Mr Beard's survival down to him having been able to stay in the cab of the skidder</div>

My honey is the most faithful man I know. Faithful to the Lord and His church, to the Word and to His people. He is an example to me daily of his selfless and tireless work which he somehow manages to fit in with working another job, being a great dad and a wonderful handsome honey. Not to mention fulfilling all The Projects that I come up with.</div>
