Evil plans frustrated
[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series] (based on David’s testimony when fleeing from Absiolom’s rebellion as in Psalm 3) They say God is not helping me – I trust. They think that they have vanquished me – and thrust their sneers, and act rebelliously – God must …

Posted on Thu, 10 Oct 2024
There was a thrill in those early days of a limited number of bricks and inventing. I remember a visitor and my husband delighting to make something new for my eldest (at that time about 5 I think) while he was asleep, to see in the morning!...

Thank you. Actually my sister and parents were so much into literature and well-read, I got to a point where I felt if I took an interest in science and space exploration, I could hold my own, my own 'field of knowledge' beginning that they knew...

It's odd to me how half-scenes are etched there for no apparent reason. I've been thinking back a bit on some favourite toys from the beginning of youth for the IP.
Yes, it can be happy memories and thankfulness of what we were spared from...

Thank you, Jenny. I hope you are coping in your wait. I was glad to be feeling up to this, and not far but a great little walk.. In that last picture my husband had climbed on top what seemed to be a funny earthwork on top of the ridge to get an...

the empty space in their heads was temporarily filled with the nothingness which had the calming effect of light cleansing. … Taylor Swift had managed to create a temporary mist which swirled in the eyes of her subjects and made it impossible...

What a lovely video! I have never seen fireflies in real life either. Amazing little creatures to produce light like that. Such complex systems could never have evolved gradually by chance, or the half-formed organs would have been a nuisance to...
