Meet: Millie Skinner

Meet: is a new series of posts where we will delve a little deeper into a member of our community here. Our first Meet: guest is Millie Skinner. I interviewed her in the middle of a busy school holiday morning.



Name: Millie Skinner
What is your role at Broken Hill? I have many roles - Mark's wife, a mother, tutor, kitchen supervisor.
How long have you been here in those roles? This is my 3rd year, but I'm  returning from '94-'96 which included 1st yr, team, team/marriage/centre.
What is your favourite thing about your role/this place? Comming back this time, I felt like I was coming home. I think it's because the first time I was here, it was a big change in my life when i was 18, and then we got married here,  I was really discovering God 4 the 1st time I was here, so that's 2 significant things. I also just enjoy community living.
Describe God in two words. Friend and Father
Describe community in 3 words. Interesting, [lots] happening, [requires] gracious-living.
Tell us a dream you have. I would like to go on the 8 day Tasmania walk with Mark - to experience the adventure with him!
What is your favourite dessert? Mango Sorbet. It's guilt free!
What is your LEAST favourite thing about Broken Hill? Location!!! Not close to the beach, it's so far! Can't go on short trips away.
What would you like to be doing in 1o years? Whatever Mark's doing.
Why are you in community now/why do you think it is important? Life in community is important because society is so against God that it's hard to live in society without being tainted, having like minded people around you helps, I enjoy working with people who love God.
What do you see as your area of mission? My family, women in town.

What is your favourite:
Joke? I'm not good @ jokes and never remember them! Half the time I don't get them but pretend that I do.
Flower? Lavender - b/c of it's smell
Thing to do? Relax in the bath with a book.
