25.01.2022 Sneaky Devil!: Sneaky Devil! Once more again, again, again Warning! Attack reigns down! Pernicious danger, hard to see! ... Protection needed! Raise alarm! The devil tries again to confound us, He muddles and messes, behind the scenes stealth is his weapon, gossip his tear gas Sneaky devil! Sneaky means. Corrupting good, weakening valour leaching hope, inspiring spite, voicing resent, voicing the boast Snickering in his own delight Tunnelling under the walls of trust undermining what we thought solid worming into self-serving egos In darkest places, being squalid. Yet, like old Job, we should be happy! The devil would not waste his time If our Godly work did not upset him. For "If I err, the error is mine." Can we unite against the devil? Or can we really only see his work as it is done through people and fight the people, and give him glee? We readily see God in people whenever we look to see the good, Yet we see only people in people Oh, the devil's work is misunderstood! You sneaky devil! I'll not let you! I'll shine a light; expose the Truth! You shall NOT undermine our goodness! I'm telling on you! Expect reproof!

24.01.2022 Don't say "Keep Christ in Christmas!": This Christmas, if you are going to post "Keep Christ in Christmas!" please, first make sure you are personally keeping Christ in every other day of the year (you know the stuff: caring for the poor, protecting the marginalized, alleviating suffering, shunning greed, championing equality), so you don't look like a hypocrite.

20.01.2022 : "No-one puts children in a boat, unless the water is safer than the land"(1) No-one risks their own child's life. Is this so hard to understand? Can you imagine what it takes, to make the choice to flee? When the life you know is blown apart, and you face the perilous sea? ... When the hand of the tiny child you grip, seems slippery in your own? Cries "too tight Daddy, you're hurting me!", but you will not let it go. This tiny life, this enormous love, that trusts in you to know, What's right to do, when's right to leave, and where on this earth to go? Stop Think Can you imagine? (1) Benedict Cumberbatch

19.01.2022 Lent is coming - what are you "giving up(wards)"? http://www.emajain.com.au//what-are-you-giving-up-for-lent/

17.01.2022 Left Over Right and Under: Once again I have foolishly cut the twine Binding my heart to God and God to mine Yet once again he proffers forth his end Inviting me to to tie it up again. ... left over right and under One end in God's hand, one in mine Together we work hard to recombine I know my sins will cut it every time But always he will seek to re-entwine left over right and under - right over left and through And every time the thread is knotted tight It gets a little shorter, as it might Bringing me closer to God, until I see It is also bringing God closer to me. left over right and under - right over left and through makes the knot stronger, tidy, tighter and true

17.01.2022 Happy Boxing Day!

11.01.2022 Reflect yourself: Be your own true reflection. Blurriness is dull.

06.01.2022 Exit the roundabout: If you keep saying "I'm right", "I'm right", "I'm right", you end up in an endless circle. Like being on a roundabout that you just can't get off. The worries, hurts and troubles of life cycle around, but remain the same. ... At some point you must break the cycle. You must choose the "sinister" left. Sinister is only an impression in your mind. It may be real or unreal. We call it sinister because we feel it is ominous, and our minds anticipate bad results. It's a risk. But if you want to get off the roundabout, you must go left at some time. You must choose the sinister and see what happens. The journey must go on.

06.01.2022 Mental Health week thoughts: I smile a lot when I am depressed My cheeks ache with exertion I do it so that you won't see ... - My smile's a diversion I don't want anyone's attention I know you cannot help me I'm trapped inside my world of sad I can't escape from me And so I smile and often laugh Not wanting you to know I feel a pain I can't express That has nowhere to go. Just be my friend and understand For help, I'll never ask But you can remind me now and then That this too soon shall pass Pat my hand and say you care A hug works wonders too Hold me tight and say a prayer ... I'll do the same for you.

04.01.2022 Breathe God: Acts 17:28 In Him we move and breathe and have our being. We cannot hear God's still, small voice ... unless we ourselves are quiet. To be in Christ we must find stillness and meditate with him daily. We must find space in ourselves to let God in. Surrender. Exhale. Make space. Create space for God and breathe him in.

02.01.2022 Everywhen: Time to step outside of linear time Time that fools allow to trap their minds Thinking time a path, when it's a sphere Of spheres, within and without And around and and around and all about ... Flowing in all directions turning in and back on itself. For time is light Composed of photons Being created eternally And it BOUNCES. Everything occurs at everywhen But we imperfect creatures cannot experience it all at once We cannot cope, so we view, at light speed only Oh, so very slow.
