| For those who believe writing stuff tells you a lot about a | |
| person, almost all misinformation is written. on the dating | |
| front there's a profile you read. my buddy says most is either | |
| old or not true and he is talking from experience as he's still | |
| single/////scripture says,Paul's words were weighty but he | |
| didn't look to great,still he couldn't have been to | |
| bad,drownings,beatings,prison,shipwrecks,etc.I wonder when the | |
| first church letter turned up,what mental picture they had of | |
| him An update on Mr nasty whom I've unNastied, I talked to his | |
| mother in law and told her I was praying for the family,she told | |
| me he was a troubled man,then said he's off to Sierra Leone to | |
| help with the Ebola crisis for three months,any one who feels | |
| like praying for this family it would be much appreciated,so | |
| here's a Samaritan,doesn't know Jesus but a boots on the ground | |
| sort of guy,worth a prayer or more. I was out taking odd dog for | |
| a walk,who is still odd,we go past a house that's all over | |
| run,two cars parked on the drive with flats,this week I noticed | |
| one of the number plates was missing,greater awareness, thanks | |
| to Midsomer murders,so what to do//phone police that's always a | |
| pain,social services,hard to get a live person and one, who | |
| speaks and understands English.so great quandary,so started | |
| walking not past house, out of sight but not out of mind,(mental | |
| picture,old couple with legs up the wall and very skinny)was | |
| walking back with odd dog at the back of the said house,on | |
| rounding the corner bumped into lady walking her dog,that seemed | |
| normal,a sniffy match ensued with odd dog taking umbridge,went | |
| into mean and surly mode,I then raised my concern about the | |
| house,she lives opposite,she told me a son now owns it,parent | |
| doesn't have legs up the wall,died a couple of years ago,I love | |
| happy endings.The Lord gave me a scripture while I was out,from | |
| the book of Psalms 27v13.KJV says I"had fainted" in | |
| italics,better read" What if I had not believed to see the | |
| Lord's goodness in the land of the living,Blessed assurance | |
| Jesus is mine, oh what a foretaste of glory divine. | |

| To nobody in particular,I was watching t.v.the other night,no it | |
| wasn't hockey.A lady was interviewing a scruffy looking | |
| gentleman,who obviously was somebody,who came from humble | |
| beginnings to be somebody worth interviewing,didn't see the | |
| beginning,but he said something that blew my socks off,He said | |
| he was born in Newfoundland and his father was a fisherman,the | |
| cod disappeared and it was hard times,no work produces lots of | |
| children but his father kept a roof over their heads and bread | |
| on the table and like me when I grew up never realised they were | |
| poor.This is what his dad said to him"Don't spend your life | |
| thinking about what you don't have,spend your life enjoying what | |
| you do have"that's good enough for Proverbs. | |

| The word the Lord gave me when we came down to only 6 suit cases | |
| when left England was- " I am thy portion and thy inheritance.." | |
| We still do not have "stuff" compared to those who have | |
| prospered and gathered. Yet in the spiritual things we have | |
| everything needful. Rich in family, rich in God. | |
| The rest we leave behind anyway! | |

| Our treasure is waking up each morning, anything else is a | |
| bonus. I've always been happy with subsistence and covering and | |
| anything above that is a true blessing, we have lived in good | |
| seasons of plenty and times of great hardship but that is how | |
| seasons go. | |
| Things have been getting a lot tighter in the UK for several | |
| years and I would like an abundant season to rest in but | |
| whatever we are given is what God wants us to have. I know thats | |
| a very simple view and some may need to progress in this world | |
| but I have always tried to become content with the status quo | |

| I asked Helen,why odd dog has to sniff every thing,she said it's | |
| like reading a news paper to a dog,to odd dog it's like going to | |
| the library,I all ways wonder at the heath food store,why it is | |
| after reading about something,I have all the symptoms and it's | |
| only found in some remote corner of Gods earth and cost an arm | |
| and a leg.I also wonder how many translations of the bible there | |
| are?I just looked and found four,I have more new testament | |
| translations than whole bible translations,again I wonder | |
| why,maybe cost?got bored?maybe just wanted to write their | |
| own,maybe some one should write "the new mistranslation bible" | |
| taken from the K.J.V.I'm rather glad they wrote it in | |
| English,the others all Greek to me.I rather like just writing to | |
| myself,keeps me from departing from the simplicity that's in | |
| Christ.I wish someone would invent a computer that automatically | |
| puts spaces between the words,I end up with 30 words all joined | |
| together because I don't do the space bar thing. | |

| Reply,what an odd word,wonder what it means?does anybody have | |
| those days when your unction to function,doesn't?I had one of | |
| those days yesterday,I was a bit like Paul,in the spirit or out | |
| the spirit I know not,I had to take my grand daughter to the | |
| airport at 3-15 in the afternoon,just as rush hour starts,(I bet | |
| you've got bated breath for the spiritual part)no I wasn't | |
| translated,did the driving bit,but something happened on the way | |
| to the airport,whilst on the freeway,not feeling a lot of | |
| anything,a person was trying to change lanes,no small feat I can | |
| assure you in rush hour,so being a christian I took pity on him | |
| and let him in and he never acknowledge my act of kindness,not | |
| wave, not even a finger and what amazed me was the rush of | |
| emotions that I felt,why does a gesture give you the warm | |
| fuzzies and no gesture,go from fire on his/her head,a firm | |
| commitment to let no one in EVER again, was it because I always | |
| wave and so I've sowed?or was it God just showing me,He the same | |
| yesterday,to-day and forever and so should I. | |

| Who knows? | |
| Is there such a thing as ply, then you get to do it again and | |
| this time you re-ply. | |
| Reply= to fold back, to replicate, to make a replica. So I | |
| suspect that the original could be called a ply, and that ply is | |
| then replicated in the reply, that is the very act to respond | |
| and not of course the very communication that one at first | |
| received. | |
| Having explained, I now trust you have a complete understanding | |
| of the use of Re. As in replenish, replant, repoint, or reprise. | |

| Has anybody read,"epistles to the imprisoned saints" by Harry | |
| Greenwood? or knows where to get a copy? I was reading of the | |
| prison that unforgiveness brings,this is a quote from Richard | |
| Exley,Many of us have mistakenly believed that repentance | |
| precedes forgiveness when in fact the exact opposite is true. | |
| Forgiveness provides the motivation and power which makes | |
| repentance a reality!God forgives us,not because we have | |
| changed,but so we can!!The inability to forgive is a major | |
| source of unhappiness and inner turmoil,the feelings of | |
| forgiveness almost never precede the actual act,if you wait for | |
| the supposed emotional motivation you will quite probably spend | |
| much of your life in a self made prison.learn to act out your | |
| forgiveness and you will discover a life of joy and freedom,hope | |
| that's a word of deliverance for somebody. | |

| Not that long ago Helen was on this very topic wondering if | |
| repentance must come first, I am not to sure what the eventual | |
| conclusion was? | |
