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 gripped…

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’s…

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. Remember…

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 out…

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! While…

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 over…

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 by…

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’t…

The Rock That is Higher Than I
Today is my 61st Birthday! I am meditating on these two scriptures with that same number! Hear my cry, O God; Attend to my prayer. From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For You have been…

Why Feet?
I wonder why pictures of feet, at rest, interest me. I looked for a photo to inspire me, and this is the second time pictures of feet stopped me. Its not a guilty feeling, though it could be. I don’t like to be at rest, I like to be “doing”. What cannot be known, unless…
