Warnings are kind

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series] … The warning is offer to leave the ways of rebellion that grieve – to Jesus’ love, ways to cleave.

Where the lie leads

There once was a lady who swallowed a lie, I don’t know why she swallowed the lie, but by and by …

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series] … How good to hear a timely word to calm or cheer or guide …

An interesting one, Graham. Brought to mind the gentle hugging a baby and child craves, and our own desire for accepting love at any age. Rhiannon

I also thought you seemed to have known this man so well, though maybe it was a combination of people known over the years. But was again interested in the sweep of life depicted (by our age, you do get aware of the sweep of the years, the...

Posted on Fri, 20 Jan 2017

I thought I'd made a comment on this on Saturday. Probably forgot to press 'Save'!

I thought it intirguingly linking the waters and tears of this life; and maybe water can also bring to mind cleaning, new leaf, thirst quenched, baptism …...
