The wisest know how ignorant they are … But He with power to hold within his hands the wind, … knows everything, all things He understands – so listen! to the truth He’s told …

Happy Weary Industry

Labourers wearily industrious in farm, field and hill - will they more leisure gain if machines take the strain? Industrial revolution. Folks flock...

Present Grace, Future Perfect

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series] … a leper … He touched him – no infection passed, …from Jesus cleansing flowed to cure … A man was paralysed …down through the roof they lowered him … First, Jesus pardoned him – some sneered …

You seem to write fairly

You seem to write fairly often about homeless people?  Here you give a glimpse of one situation, enough to realise how little we really know about many around us. Rhiannon

Posted on Sat, 23 Jun 2018

One of my most used skirts - for best - was £1 on a charity shop sale rail! It's much easier to see what you like somehow in a mixed medley in a charity shop! I think there was concern about pumping out from charity shops to poorer countries...

A life made bland by ease is

Posted on Sat, 23 Jun 2018

A life made bland by ease is a very telling phrase. So easy just to criticize others, or frustration at the attitudes of 'society'. I was reading of the problems of fasion and the assumptions of constant new clothing necessary, made to...

Posted on Tue, 22 May 2018

You have caught here the feeling of looking down on your life and family's ways when far apart, and the place you've just left, like if one could see a film catching each on their travels. It reminded me of one of my children (when very young)...
