First let the Creator our God speak: ‘ Please look/ Behold, I have given you every herb producing seed, which is on the face of the earth, and every tree, that has a fruit with a seed inside, this is your food.

A tree on the banks of the lower Rhine.

Grace Paul speaking: ‘ By the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I work harder than any of them, though it was not I but the grace of God that is within me.’ 1 Corinthians 15:10 Then Jesus says to Paul:Continue reading “A tree on the banks of the lower Rhine.”

An accident, a thunder storm and Sabbath

We were at a T-junction and slowly moving forward to the middle of a narrow two-laned road. There was suddenly a cruch of metal and a thud on my side as Bugzy’s front left side gouged out the tire of the first wheel of a truck cab. The 8 wheeled trailer then slowly moved pastContinue reading “An accident, a thunder storm and Sabbath”

Lüdinghausen and Die Burg Vischering…

…a town and a castle in Münsterland, Germany. But first a thought: ‘God forgives us because He is just.’ Paul speaking to the Corinthians: If any person is in Christ, they are a new creature: old things are gone, look all things become new.

Haltern Am See and Hohe Mark forest

To start a verse about strangers written by Moses as God speaking. I found this intersting: If a stranger stays with you in your land, you will not annoy/irritate or distress them with petty provocations. They will be as one born among you, and you will love them as yourself. Leviticud 19:33,34 One law/decree/ ruleContinue reading “Haltern Am See and Hohe Mark forest”

A tree,a garden,and asparagus…

Münsterland

Here is God speaking through Isaiah sometime between 750-739BC. If you don’t do as you please for pleasure, on My holy day and do not speak about normal every day business and call the sabbath a delight, holy for the LORD, honourable, and You honour Me (God), then you will make Me happy, and IContinue reading “Münsterland”

Cleves/Kleve

Kleve is an historic town in northwestern Germany, located on the Dutch border and lower Rhine. This post will start with a modern statue and a fountain. A story before our eyes, a tale of long ago that has a second greater event in 9th century BC and then a third that comes about inContinue reading “Cleves/Kleve”

Sabbath cycle there and back

… on two sides of the German: Rhein, Dutch: Rijn, French: Le Rhin, Latin: Rhenus. A ferry and a bridge and Saturday/ Sabbath service, to worship for a while, made for a pleasant circular trip. How different can these river banks be? Both sides with some cut grass fields, buttercup, clover and daisies all outContinue reading “Sabbath cycle there and back”

Het Loo a palace near Apeldoorn Netherlands

I will start this post with two thoughts one from Deuteronomy 6:4,5 and one from Leviticus 19:18. Then see what Jesus says to a lawyer who asks a question: ‘Master, which is the great commandment in the law?’ Here are the two Old Testament quotes: Hear, Oh Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:Continue reading “Het Loo a palace near Apeldoorn Netherlands”
