King David said, “Oh, how I love Your law”

Sad such bickering about what

Posted on Fri, 30 Jul 2021

Sad such bickering about what should be dedicated service and hard work for the needy in the name of Christ. And probable misundertandings too. I expect many like Emily were quietly getting on with helping these abandoned and abused children....

The list of adjectives used

Posted on Tue, 27 Jul 2021

The list of adjectives used seem to show how he tried to do much good, but could be impulsive and non-conciliatory, and maybe not a good listener?

You seem to have built up such a store of memories, Richard, that must give you much pleasure now, and pleasure to share in word-pictures. Rhiannon

A lovely picture of sitting

Posted on Sat, 24 Jul 2021

A lovely picture of sitting in the warm days watching the busy bees in the flowers. Those individual flowers as they move into them are so attractive aren't they? I don't know phacelia, though I think it may be one we had difficulty identifying...

I'm always surprised to

Posted on Tue, 20 Jul 2021

I'm always surprised to realise how much travel occurred for many at that time with jobs in India and the Far East, aware of how much more difficult and slow travel was then. And then to realise how easily writing could be lost at sea, with no '...

Know so much about him, yet

Posted on Fri, 16 Jul 2021

I like that you seem to be showing that 'coming home' is returning to your loved one(s) and recontacting/reconnencting with eye communication, not just the return to a family house! Rhiannon
