The only time i really cried was this mroning, when it dawned on me he has taken my children away from me. We were planning a family, and had chosen names for both a boy and a girl that will now never be.
What a week!
I exploded a little when I discovered that my blog is being coped through RSS, and being passed off by another site.
Joy
Inspiration: Luke 15:11-32 and Prodigal God, by Timothy Keller I think I’m missing something; seriously. My Facebook post yesterday was "Has lost 'Joy' somewhere between duvet and workplace?? If you see him...please redirect to me, here 🙂 Thanks x" And, reading back my post from this afternoon has made me realise that the joy is … Continue reading Joy
“work at it with all your heart”
Colossians 3:20-24 – “23Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men…” With an effort that really shouldn’t have to be juggernaut sized, I’m knuckling down on this ‘Glory’ thing for work. So, my prayer this morning was along the lines of, ‘Please Lord, send your … Continue reading “work at it with all your heart”
Ask a question…
I'm moved that there are some Christian Churches and organisations out there that for them, nothing is too much trouble. All Souls Church proclaims their website to have the bible at its heart; "We believe that a personal relationship with God through Christ is at the heart of who we are and that we are … Continue reading Ask a question…
Pride comes before ‘I told you so’…
Will I ever learn to be as gracious?
Jesus did not die on the cross. Discuss.
I could hear it now; those smug agnostics and atheists saying ‘I told you so’… more so if the Red Tops get hold of the story.
Liar, Liar…
My boss was reduced to tears today because she got caught lying by her (on and off again) boyfriend. He’s dumped her. My mum always used to say a phrase if she ever suspected me of lying, “what a tangled web we weave when first we set out to deceive!” Come to think of it, … Continue reading Liar, Liar…
“The heart is deceitful above all things…” Jeremiah 17:9 (NIV)
It's almost two months since our wedding, and after the chaos of organising, booking and a depleted bank account, you'd think we'd settle back into a life more ordinary. Not so: one particular aspect which seems to be the arch nemesis of my perfect Christian Life just won't crawl under a bench and go away - Alcohol.
Carrots, Eggs and Coffee
Luke 12:22 - Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[a]? 26Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
