Here are three thoughts about conversation: simplicity, godly sincerety, and this, ‘not fleshly wisdom.’ What is this? It seems to be opposite to simplicity and sincerity. It is conversation characterized by pride, selfish ambition, jealousy, manipulation and it has results which are division, disorder and spiritual death rather than life and wisdom. Here are theContinue reading “Geums and forget-me-nots”

God and …
the wrinkles on a new courgette leaf, the apple blossoms among the branches above my head, the green and black fly on the pear tree, the paint on my brush… There is nothing like ” trying to know ” to show one how far above your head something is. There is nothing like me tryingContinue reading “God and …”
Sabbath circular walk of 5 miles from Eton through Windsor
Our walk was in brilliant sunshine with blue skies. People were relaxed and enjoying the banks of the Thames near Windsor and Eton was busy. The open fields were filled with growing green while cricket was being played on a finer cut space. In this post I will use what I photographed to illustrate myContinue reading “Sabbath circular walk of 5 miles from Eton through Windsor”
Clean and bright…
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 fourth white flower which is taller and has come out all at once is the white garlic flower. For this post I have takeContinue reading “Clean and bright…”
Bluebells,poem and two books.
This is a different post. Why? Because it has something about books and a walk this morning where I tried to capture the sound made by a Great Spotted Woodpecker then there is also a poem I wrote on 5 April 2022. I will start with the books. I am reading John C Lennox God,Continue reading “Bluebells,poem and two books.”
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. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering of the waters He called Seas: and God saw that it was good. Genesis 1:Continue reading “The meadow and the garden”
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
‘Do not move the ancient boundary Or go into the fields of the fatherless, For their Redeemer is strong; He will plead their case against you.’ Proverbs 23: 10-11 It was a pleasure to feel the texture of the stone in one’s hand and then find ‘ the balance spot’ between the two. This wasContinue reading “Stones”
The Bluebells again 2026
Here are two conversations only in one does Solomon speak. God: ‘Ask what I shall give you.’ Solomon: ‘Give your servant an understanding heart to judge your people, that I may know the difference between good and evil: for who is able to judge this great people.’ God: ‘Because you have asked for this andContinue reading “The Bluebells again 2026”
