I don't understand it all,
Posted on Wed, 07 Sep 2016
I don't understand it all, but it doesn't seem to be a picture of the caring God we meet in the Bible, and came to earth with an answer for our sweat and fetters that we have made for ourselves, both now and fulness to come. What the fool...
Describing well temptation's voice and the confusing reasoning and depression induced. Showing so clearly the need of a good friend at one's side to help if the cycle is really to be broken, and of course the Holy Spirit's help can make such a...
Clever little parable of the importance of each contributing, each needing each other, as the Bible teaches in1 Corinthians 12 about the church (people, believers, not the building!) being the body of Christ, eg if the foot should say, "...

So many 'grand schemes' seem to become white (or grey) elephants. I suppose the post-war renovation was in haste, and also maybe it was rebuilding the community spirit that needed attention too. 'Better builds' can so easily become the...
I can't do much reading on here on a Sunday, Penny, but I saw this when posting my weekly hymn, and just had a look, and could picture the memories and imagination of childhood wonder and timelessness of day and darkness. Last but one line, I...
Nice to see you back. Your verse has a dreamy quality somehow, of persevering when the way has been hard, but there is comfort and some stability, and enjoyment in the surroundings even in the dark and rainy days.
