“…since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. ” Romans 1:19-20
On my walk today I noticed all the barbed wire lying around the place, that has been cut down from the many fences that were used to separate the land into paddocks. Now the barbed wire has been pulled down, and in some places, you can see it rolled up and pinned to a pole here and there. In some cases, there are coils of it lying in the grass where it’s been left. In another place, along the path,…
“Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it” (Mark 10:15). Even though I’m 47 years of age, I love this plate and I use it almost daily. I bought it myself a while back because being plastic, it doesn’t let my toast go cold!

She told me that although she wanted to have the job finished rather quickly, she had…

Father, Son, Holy Spirit. No morphing of one into the other, no…
Jesus said He is our real food and real drink (John 6:25-59) I don’t mean this to sound sacreligious – please bear with me ……. The other day as I was eating my muesli for breakfast, I saw Jesus in my muesli. No, I don’t mean that the seeds formed a shape of Jesus! I saw with spiritual eyes that Jesus is my ‘roughage’, He’s the one that fills my life to rid me of all the junk that resides…
I used to hate fireworks. Being a dog lover, they always drove me crazy and I felt they were such an invasion into the safety of my little four-legged friends, and all the four-legged friends in the community. I’d hear horrible stories of dogs running away and getting hit by cars, getting lost, being petrified and going crazy, because of the noise. I thought they were the height of ignorance and rudeness. – let me say, if you have a…
