I don’t like plans. Cuz my plans don’t work out. My expectation and my experience is that plans fail. I live in that reality. It’s like being lost in the wilderness, but I have a map! I can’t move beyond where I am unless he calls! But that’s me. I am submissive to God’s plan.Continue reading “Submitting To The Plan”

Pastor
But more on this question you’ve asked. It’s probably the nicest thing anyone could ever say to me. This question is always on my mind. And probably THE reason I write. For example, I began this blog on November 5, 2020 with my first post being, “Its Over.” I’d been reading books (aka listening toContinue reading “Pastor”
on Being a Little Brother
There’s this memory that is coming to mind as I write out Isaiah. I was the very youngest of 4 boys, but we had a boarder staying with us, who has a little boy who was younger than me. At supper time he was misbehaving… my father dropped his fork onto his plate (fear grippedContinue reading “on Being a Little Brother”
Remembering Our Father
48 “How do you know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus answered, “I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.” 49 Then Nathanael declared, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel.” John 1:48-49 NIV We are told nothing more than this special moment between Jesus and Nathanael. But there’sContinue reading “Remembering Our Father”
Fan into Flame
My friend and brother, have I been praying without ceasing since we sat across from one another? Yes. I’ve been holding you in my heart, like one holding his wounded brother on the battle field, and bathing you with my tears. Today God has crystalized the word he gave me for you that night. RememberContinue reading “Fan into Flame”
Being on Time
I discovered Carl Jung… stumbled upon him like one discover a little cafe when out for a walk and realize hunger… is it weird to say I fell in love? I guess so. I was glad though 🤔 But it’s interesting that when I started to refer to him or quote him, I found outContinue reading “Being on Time”
Just In Time
My sister and I were chatting/musing about going to get that stuff. It’s locked away in a Barn. My Mum and Dad were both diagnosed with dementia back in 2011. They were 2500 miles away… but that’s a long story for another time. One of those things is a boat just like that one! WhileContinue reading “Just In Time”
Is it Safe?
Lately I’m feeling it. The world isn’t a safe place. A fellow I work with never lets me get away with saying stuff like that. It was hard to hear, so recalling it isn’t so easy for me, lots of resistance on my part… but he pointed out that I don’t have any control overContinue reading “Is it Safe?”
Tame
Lately I’ve been feeling heavier, getting out of bed is something I have to talk over each morning, a conscious decision, wrestling with my thoughts, but also just a mood to be pushed past. “Yes, I see you there. You matter, but I don’t know what to do with you! So let me go byContinue reading “Tame”
Pretty Blue Mug
This mug… First of all any porcelain with the Dutch Blue colour I’m a sucker for… I like it’s oversized aspect, and the curious loop of a handle, like the old brown jug… The saying on it is also interesting. Olde English… See all, hear all, say now’t … Eat all, sup all, pay now’tContinue reading “Pretty Blue Mug”
