As some of you might already know, I live in this place called Taringa in Brisbane. I often wonder what it meant with all these funny funny names they come up with here. So, I looked up the web and found the meaning of TARINGA.

The name Taringa is made up of two Aboriginal words: tarau (stones) and nga (made up of). Together, they mean "place of stones".

Then, I thought "Wow"....how meaningful it will be for me to mark the events about what God has done in my life.....especially eversince I came here. I'm beginning to see the significant things He has done and marking them down as a memorial like what Joshua did in Joshua 4:4-7.

So Joshua called together the twelve men he had appointed from the Israelites, one from each tribe, and said to them, "Go over before the ark of the LORD your God into the middle of the Jordan. Each of you is to take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites, 6 to serve as a sign among you. In the future, when your children ask you, 'What do these stones mean?' tell them that the flow of the Jordan was cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD. When it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. These stones are to be a memorial to the people of Israel forever."

So, may Taringa be a place filled with wonderful memories for me!
