The unseasonable things of this world

How every sentence of this passage are the cries within my own soul so often. Those who know me better than most,  and know a little of what I endure in this illness while alone continuously,  have heard these cries often in various forms.  It can be hard to see light when we feel smothered [...]

Miss Picky!

For perhaps non-regular readers of my blog, my cat has diabetes, but up until less than a year ago, even though she is 13 she had never been loved or belonged to anyone proper. Survived on scrounging what she could off my neighbours till I moved here last year. But I am always throwing more [...]

Prison meditations

[rating:3.5]And I don’t think I’ve ever felt more imprisoned by my body and circumstances than currently and the past week: And in part, my imprisonment too, was for holding to the truth. That was brought home to me just a few weeks ago, when seeing someone from my former Church who I hadn’t seen for [...]

Hard Days

I’ve spent the last days, writing around in bodily pain, and most of Thurs unconcious. All if it alone, without the least comfort in my temporal world, except for my cat.  The days are more than hard when like that.  No one to telephone, or ask for the least  anything from.  No medical assistance, for [...]

Schools out!

I remember the time, when schools were supposed to be a place you could send your children, feeling they were safe,  and protected, and taught responsiblity, when not at home. A time they would learn how to be good ditizens and productive members of society;  get an education,  read and write, and do maths.  Now  [...]

Spiritual Sabbaths=Spiritual Delights

[rating:2.5]This is not the rest spoken of in Scripture concerning the Sabbath. It has both been my consternation and shock to discover that the “rest” of the Christian Sabbath is often mistaken for sloth!

Some pastors and preachers are lazy and no good. [...]
