This morning the garden has three plants that are essentially ground cover: sweet woodruff, garden aubrieta, and fleabane. These are all small plants with white flowers that are in mass.

The Sedum and the apple tree 2026
First here is a friend of Job, Eliphaz giving his friend who has lost so much some advice: Receive the law from His mouth and store them in your heart. Job then answers: I have not gone back from His commandments from His lips, I have respected the words of His mouth more than myContinue reading “The Sedum and the apple tree 2026”
The pear tree and the lilac tree
Here is a conversation between Jesus and a Father of a devil possessed boy. Jesus first wants to know how long he has been like this and hears that it came to him as a child. Jesus: If you can believe, all things are possible to those (him) that believe. Father: I believe, help myContinue reading “The pear tree and the lilac tree”

The meadow and the garden
And this is I believe: God speaking: ‘ Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear:’ and it was so.

Sabbath circular walk at Goring
When you see life through stalks that cross before your eyes. When yellow canola is ahead and one’s mind wonders through the maze of life – The buttercup fields and dandelion coronet – Linger but not long for there are the green hills the sheep back skies and a full view. By Sandy 🙂 SoContinue reading “Sabbath circular walk at Goring”
The garden and the metal ants
But first let Jesus tell us three stories that fit into each other or balance on top of each other. The Scribes and Pharisees said Jesus talked and ate with sinners and so He did, but Jesus was a story teller and this is how he spoke to them. If you had 100 sheep andContinue reading “The garden and the metal ants”
Stones

This wasContinue reading “Stones”

A botanical garden and a cross in the cobble stones.
I want to start this post with six Bible verses in Revelation and then visit the Botanical Gardens in Oxford. I will then end with a verse from the Bible said by a person who was definitely in the town on 16th October 1555. Let us start with what Paul says first, then John andContinue reading “A botanical garden and a cross in the cobble stones.”
Whitby
Let’s stand at the sash window of Alice Cottage, a once upon a time fisherman’s family home. We are on the second floor of three, with a room on each floor. The headland and the dramatic Saint Mary’s church with Whitby Abbey are at the top of the cliff, while the river Esk and theContinue reading “Whitby”
