The first is from Albert Einstein: Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better. Then one from Winston Churchill: The farther backward you can look, the farther forward youContinue reading “Look a Rose”

An abundance of chlorophytum comosum
Here are two other ways of saying abundance: an excessive supply, plenty. I took the plantlets with their fine green white green leaves or white green white leaves Two varieties if you care to look closely. I gave each their own space in a small pot. What next? I left them to be taken byContinue reading “An abundance of chlorophytum comosum”
Lacey Green – Sabbath 5 mile circular walk
Jesus spoke these words during the Sermon on the Mount: ‘Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.’ Why say this and how would we know? Jesus then gives an explanation: ‘ You will know them by their fruits.’ Matthew 7: 15, 16 is where theContinue reading “Lacey Green – Sabbath 5mile circular walk”
Sky, water and land
This post looks at three photographs I took while travelling in Ireland. I have then chosen and placed two thoughts one from Paul writing to the Romans the other from something Jesus said. ‘ We who are strong should/ought to carry the frailty/disabilities/ illnesses of the weak and not to please ourselves.’ Jesus warns peopleContinue reading “Sky, water and land”
A mixed season

My question was : ‘Would it be ethical for a machine to read your memory/ thoughts?’ Would I as a Christian find this acceptable? Here is my thought journey.

Then and now Amaryllis belladonna
First a question from Jesus to Peter: ‘Who do you say I am?’ Peter’s answer was quick and brief: ‘ The Christ of God.’ Then Jesus told Peter His ( the Son of Man’s) future: ‘ I must suffer many things, be rejected, be killed and be raised the third day.’ He also said aContinue reading “Then and now Amaryllis belladonna”

A Sabbath walk with coincidence.
The coincidence was that around 600BC Saxon invaders sailed up the Thames and settled beside the Kennet. These were Readingas named after their leader Reads ( The Red) who gave the town their name. Here are the boards bearing this information and then some words I’m very fond of. They are all places familiar toContinue reading “A Sabbath walk with coincidence.”

Skies
When clouds break, focus is on what is below. Our world,our clouds, our sky. When clouds frame blue sky we look at the detail, we notice the fraying edges and the grey with white in the below centre. Our shrubs, trees, clouds and sky. When storm clouds part a little to see the palest ofContinue reading “Skies”

Jesus’s words as He ends a prayer He taught all of us to pray: I am looking at how the prayer ends. ‘ And lead us not into temptation.’ This part reads differently in the Aramaic language: ” And do not let us enter into temptation, but deliver/rescue us from the evil one (free usContinue reading “Eucalyptus and Salvia”
