Well, I am off to a new Church in my village this morning (new for me) its been there a fair while.! So far, I've only attended the Church my mother attends, whilst it's her family, I'm not so sure its mine. This one is local to me.

I'm wondering what will the congregation be like, do I…

With kind permission from the artist, I wanted to share this beautiful painting of Jesus dancing with the children, with onlookers, and what the artist wrote about his painting. After reading an earlier blog on Jesus's footprints and dancing with Jesus (thank you), I realised I had not thought of the concept of dancing with Jesus. I looked for some pictures, and this one just struck me. If you look closer at it, notice the different onlookers, with their differing reactions: the…

John 21: 1-14

After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias. Now this is how he did so. Simon Peter, Thomas (called Didymus), Nathanael (who was from Cana in Galilee), the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples of his were together. Simon Peter told them, "I am going fishing." "We will go with you," they replied. They went out and got into the boat, but…

“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness” (Lamentations 3:22-23).

Routine can really get us down. It’s hard to be joyful when we think we’re just facing another routine day. Thanks to God, we don’t have to dread the coming day.

No matter how hard it may be, I’ve found that it is crucial to wake up in the morning and say and believe, “Good morning, God!” Decide that this…

After a discussion in chatroom, I felt inspired to share this email I recieved a time ago,

 

In light of the recent shooting in Massachusetts, let's see, I think it started when Madeline Murray O'Hare complained she didn't want any prayer in our schools, and we said OK.

 

Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school.... the Bible that says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt…

Before the Fall: Lessons in Pride

 

In Sunday school, my teachers liked to illustrate everything. Any major biblical concept could be explained with a felt board and Velcro paper.

I clearly remember how they portrayed a prideful person. It was usually a male with his arms folded and his big nose lifted in the air. He thought he was better than everyone else. His lofty attitude would always precede “a fall” as quoted in Proverbs 16:18. I wasn’t…

This story is so cute, had to share.

 

Two frogs in the milk

This is the story of two frogs. One frog was big and the other skinny. One day, while searching for food, they inadvertently jumped into a vat of milk. They couldn't get out, as the sides were too slippery, so they were just swimming around.

The big frog said to the skinny frog, "Brother frog, there's no use paddling any longer. We're just going to drown, so we might as well give up." The skinny…

It is hard reading forum posts where one of the main contributers has deleted all of their posts, I like reading over old forum posts as part of my learning/getting to grips with different issues etc but it is getting frustrating  when you are just constantly reading one person's answers and never know what the questions to which they are replying in the responses are. I know when you post a blog you cannot delete it after, I think the same should apply to posts, (once the 15 mins to edit…
