This was a blog from last year, 15th December. As it falls into my blog series I am reblogging it. Please note that in that blog I said that this was the only part of the Lord's prayer that Jesus commented on. If you have followed these recent blogs you will know that in Luke's …

Prayer Without Words | The Sound
I came across this on Saturday evening. As my current blogs are on saying the Lord's Prayer, I found this on silent prayer complementary, if more traditional than my usual churchmanship. Amid white noise of day that protects this frail solitude I tatter soil-edged pages of my prayer book opening to empty places praying word-for-word …

I reblogged this as it was published at the same time as my blog last Friday, and saying it better. As Christians, we believe that God's will is good, pleasing and perfect and that it always works out for our good. But that doesn't mean that we aren't going to be challenged even by our …
Wake Up.
This is a reblog from God Loves Women. The replies to that blog are worth reading too. Trump is the president elect. White evangelical Christians supported him and voted for him. They justified his actions, defended him and endorsed him as the Christian candidate. Mainly because h… Source: Wake Up. There are two different sorts …
Emotions
It has been a hectic 3 months. On 28th July I became a grandfather for the first time when the beautiful Brooke Laverick came into the world. Sadly it was a week before I could meet her, as I'd had a throat infection, so stayed away. Then on 18th July my mother passed away in …
Mum
Early on September 18th Mum passed away peacefully in her sleep. Friday 30th was the funeral. What can I say about this wonderful woman? Married to a fishmonger, with six children, and worked in factories and as a shop girl and a cleaner, not what you would think would be a great person ... ... …
Closed blog…
The other blog I wrote, The adventures of Xote, has been closed and content merged with this blog. If you see some odd content when looking back through old blogs, that will be why. This diabetes has made me too tired to look after two blogs, so I merged them.
Vanity and anti Semitism
Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher, vanity of vanities! All is vanity. Thus starts the book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible. But what I really want to talk about is the anti Semitism that is supposedly rife in the Labour party: Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron has said words condemning Labour over this . (Mr Cameron …
Blog CLOSED
This blog is now CLOSED After much thought I have decided to close this blog. Following a diagnosis for Diabetes Type 2 in October 2015 and symptoms back to September, I have no longer the energy to write two blogs at the frequency to keep people coming back and reading. The fatigue on days when …
DNA and the ABC – The Real Justin
I was halfway through writing a blog on this myself, but this from Stephen Cherry says it better than I could. There is much that is surprising and impressive about the story in the news this weekend about the Archbishop of Canterbury discovering that his biological father was not the man married to this mo… Source: DNA …
