"Can you feel that Spring is pushing gently to come?" I ask. "Oh yes," they say, and smile. In the town hall the flower show opens to us and we wander through. One of the few lines of poetry I remember reads, "Full many a glorious flower is born to blush unseen" and...

Walk an Art Gallery and the art reveals a lot about the artist. It lets you in on who they really, really are. Perhaps it reveals more than they would like! Walk the earth and His art works are everywhere. They reveal Someone so magnificent, so good and so kind they...

Watch the elevators in the Atrium of the Norwegian Star - up and down, rising, falling - people pass like ships in the night. Not so for God. Jesus knows each one, invites us to be His, pursues His plan for everyone. So, while you and I so often don't connect with one...

How long have you been learning to walk? There were bumps to the head. There were very uncertain steps. Many times, you (and I ) just sat down plain hard. But, although terrifying at times, the journey has always been safe. Oh, the learning may have been slow,...

I like to stare, don't you? At half past six this morning, coffee in hand, I was staring at the moon as it headed west. Later, we went for a walk, and I was staring at the reflections in the canal. And at a cormorant gulping down a rather large fish. Someone wrote,...

Shirley took this pic in the gardens of the castle on Skye. Not long before the movie, "Honey, I shrunk the kids" was doing the rounds. So she daclared, "Look, I shrunk Mum!" Which leaves me wondering - no one can shrink us - that's true. Someone can grow us - that's...
