Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have confirmed media reports they have returned home to Australia to marry. The Moulin Rouge actress is expected to exchange vows with country singer Urban at Sydney's Mary MacKillop chapel on Sunday before jetting off to honeymoon in Fiji. The happy couple say in a statement: "We are very happy to be back in Australia. We have come home to celebrate our wedding with our family and friends." Pictures broadcast on Australian TV showed Kidman leaving her private jet in Sydney early yesterday morning, but New Zealand-born Urban was not seen in the footage. Kidman's mother and father have already visited their daughter at her Sydney home, and the property is protected from paparazzi photographers by tight security. More than 200 guests are expected at the ceremony, including Naomi Watts, Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe and Baz Luhrmann. All guests have been asked not to buy the couple who has everything a gift, but to donate money to charities they support. Kidman has reportedly booked out the entire Wakaya Club Resort in Fiji, where Rolling Stones rocker Keith Richards was staying when he fell from a tree and injured his head.
A Boy And His Fishing Pole
A Little Boy & His Fishing Pole
This true story is about someone in Indiana passed on to me....gives one pause for thought....
Howard County Sheriff Jerry Marr got a disturbing call one Saturday afternoon a few months ago.
His 6-year-old grandson Mikey had been hit by a car while fishing with his dad. The father and son were near a bridge by the Kokomo Reservoir when a woman lost control of her car, slid off the bridge and hit Mikey at a rate of about 50 mph.
Sheriff Marr had seen the results of accidents like this and feared the worst. When he got to Saint Joseph Hospital, he rushed through the emergency room to find Mikey conscious and in fairly good spirits.
"Mikey, what happened?" Sheriff Marr asked.
Mikey replied, "Well, Papaw, I was fishin' with Dad, and some lady runned me over, I flew into a mud puddle, and broke my fishin' pole and I didn't get to catch no fish!"
As it turned out, the impact propelled Mikey about 500 feet, over a few
trees and an embankment and in the middle of a mud puddle. His only injuries were to his right femur bone which had broken in two places. Mikey had surgery to place pins in his leg. Otherwise the boy is fine.
Since all the boy could talk about was that his fishing pole was broken, the Sheriff went out to Wal-mart and bought him a new one while he was in surgery so he could have it when he came out.
The next day the Sheriff sat with Mikey to keep him company in the hospital. Mikey was enjoying his new fishing pole and talked about when he could go fishing again as he cast into the trash can.
When they were alone, Mikey matter-of-factly said, "Papaw, did you know Jesus is real?"
"Well," the Sheriff replied, a little startled. "Yes, Jesus is real to all who believe in him and love him in their hearts."
"No," said Mikey. "I mean Jesus is REALLY real."
"What do you mean?" asked the Sheriff.
"I know he's real 'cause I saw him, "said Mikey, still casting into the trash can.
"You did?" said the Sheriff.
"Yep," said Mikey. "When that lady runned me over and broke my fishing pole, Jesus caught me in his arms and laid me down in the mud puddle."
