This post will share our walk in three photographs, then there will be a blast from the past in something a friend of mine experienced as a young person and lastly a congratulations to my youngest son for recently publishing on Amazon.
The walk today was led by Richard the one who often took Bramble’s lead when Sue used to walk with us. It was a walk Sue originally took us on and today we did the circle near Luckley House School in the opposite direction with Richard leading
Looking at nature’s stained glass window. Blue sky beyond white puffy clouds. They are beyond the shrubs the open grass and the plant stalks of bramble that break up the scene. It is 16:29.
Soft earth, leaves in thick clusters dry and new all just fallen from the autumnal trees. A gentle acceptance of boot with no sticky hold.
It is later now, 16: 29, the sun is low behind two fallen trees. The distant trees break up the weeping sun the shadows are heavy and the day is almost done.
Autumn November will soon be winter December. Rest in Peace dear Sue.
Now for a name I researched, Billy Graham(1918-2018). One hundred years with some of those years preaching to thousands. What? An incredibly simple message. ‘Every person is sinful before God a predicament that can turn to forgiveness in Christ Jesus.’
What were his simple themes?
A big God
A loving Savior
A hot hell
A glorious heaven.
He used statement phrases like
“The Bible says”… and ” You must be born again”…
I enjoyed listening to him speak in this simple sermon ‘ How to get to heaven Billy Graham Classic’. Press on it if you want to . This was the first time I had seen him but I do remember my parents speaking about him.
Now congratulations to our son. Well done for your Amazon publication Attributes of Excellence, We are so pleased that you find sharing with clarity and simplicity your understanding of the Bible.
Take care,
Sandy 🙂
