“Cursed is the one who trusts in man”, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns away from the Lord. He will be like a bush in the wastelands; he will not see prosperity when it comes. He will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt land whereContinue reading “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and not in man”

Make Straight a Highway
A voice of one calling: “In the desert prepare the way for the Lord; make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God. Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain.

Be strong, do not fear, your God will come …..Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert.The burning sand will become a pool, the thirsty ground bubbling springs.In the haunts where jackals once lay, grass and reeds and papyrus will grow.And a highway will be there;It will be called the WayContinue reading “A Highway Will Be There”

He will understand them.The ways of the Lord are right; the righteous walk in them, but in them the rebellious stumble and fall. Hosea 14:8-9
#3 Oh, Jesus I Have Promised

There was one hymn which I really loved, but I thought the words were a bit strange: Oh, Jesus, I have promised To serve thee to theContinue reading “#3 Oh, Jesus I Have Promised”
#2 Dinosaurs Sorted
But I minded……. That is why I returned to the church and pushed open the heavy wooden door which everyone thought a child could not open. It was scary, but I had nerves of steel and always have had. I crept into the church, took the dinosaurs out of the Easter Garden and dropped themContinue reading “#2 Dinosaurs Sorted”
