Light-Cycle
December weak light, January, bleak light, spring light increasing: warm, life-awakening … never none – … but never too far, deep-freezing, never too near, frizzling.

The Whole Advent Calendar December 2022
[I have often attempted some sort of Advent Calendar in December. Last year it was just on each day-number, others have attempted the background to the birth in the manger. This year I've attempted verse again on the numbers of the days, but drawing out some significance from the Bible history, all in brief limerick form. Limerick form was not used to indicate humour, but as a form to make a catchy brief point.] I've now combined the 25 individual days, and of course lost a few comments.

I had never heard of the Serjeants-at-Law.

As Di says, it helps us understand your hard situation. I pray you both find...

How confused! I can understand a concern not to become so absorbed with her family that they become as it were an idol in her life, and she forget them to be a gift and responsibility held in stewardship to God. I can't understand the husband's '...

Thank you, Jenny. Maybe we have got more used to knowing when we need to stop, and yes, we need to stop more often! But there can be much pressure on the younger to not rest and properly stop, even so called leisure and relaxation and fitness...

A bit of fun. Sometimes I feel there needs to be just a concentration on the basic maths useful in ordinary living, rather than the more complicated concepts that aren't going to grab everyone!
And teachers vary in how much they understand...

It reminds me of how black the river Taff was flowing towards Cardiff from mining valleys when I was growing up, and my daughter's hankie she dropped from the bridge looking so white on the surface as it floated away. But when I returned with my...
