a risk

I have written something that I will email tomorrow. A wise man told me to do something unusual. The contents of what I have written are unusual and I will send it tomorrow morning. It is risk by my standards. Let me see if and how the lord uses it.

Thoughts From a Treasured Wretch: The Rhythm is Changed

Amen

Change of Ministry?

Yesterday, we had visitors from SGM. In the middle of what David had to say, he said that he and his wife had served in Spain for a number of years and that it would take wild horses to bring them back to England. They were then challenged about returning to England and changing their ministry to what they they do now. In my own situation I have thought and prayed about this. I still need a lot of wisdom and guidance and trust in the lords providence to bring this about, but I do want to change. I want to teach, I want to write and a I want a number of other things. I also think that like Ruth I am to wait and see how the matter will fall.

the crash and the heart problem

I got an email from my brother Jim thanking me for commending him on what he had to say after our uncles funeral. However, he also said that he had been on a treadmill in hospital and there was a heart fluctuation. They think there is a narrowing of an artery and further investigation is needed. It is likely that it can be widened by a balloon or stem. Worst case senario would be a heart by pass and he is on a coctail of five tablets to lower his blood pressure.

He was also in car crash and it is most likely that the car is a write off. I am just thankful that he was not seriously injured or killed. He has googled for the accident statistics for the road he was on and they are frightening.

We will see how things go after he has had a scan

Review of Chackos book

Chacko has asked me to write a review of his book. I feel so honored at just being asked to do such a thing. He has proved to be such a mighty blessing to me. It is called, "Beyond the Natural". He has emailed it to me and I have asked him to give me a week and I will do it.

The bank books and an answer to prayer

Today I went on the bank run, and I lost the bank books. I retraced my steps. I went to the post office where I had been paying car tax. I went to my bank were I had been paying my credit card. I went to the bank the office uses and I searched the car and they were not in any of these places. I prayed, "Heavenly father help me find them". I decided to have a second go. I had been told that bag with them in it had not been handed in. Perhaps that meant it was lying on the floor and had not been found. I went back to the post office and had a look all the way along the counter. It was not there. I decided to go to the shop to look on their floor and as I approached it, I saw it. There it was on the ground outside the door. I praised the lord for this answer to prayer. It was like the widow who cleaned the house searching for the missing coin in the parable. I was so overjoyed to see that bag. I hope I remember this as another answer to prayer.

Psalm 119

I spoke on Psalm 119 this morning. I was told it was refreshing. "How Shall a young man keep his way pure?" by meditating on the word of the lord.

I also noted the contrast of running and walking with Gods word between verses one and thirtytwo. ( I only covered the first thirtytwo verses.) the psalmist asks that the lord teach him his precepts. We need to be like that. We need to be teachable and we need to meditate on Gods word in all circumstances
