Messaging

 A quick post today.  Just to show you two things that caught my eye recently.  One was a postcard which dropped through my door a few weeks ago, just after the start of the war.  From a complete stranger - I am assuming an older lady


And the other is what my neighbour wrote on the wall of her house this week


Both of these made me smile.  Because in 35 odd years of being a Christian I hadnt thought of either of these ways of getting the message out there.   And I love to think of a little old lady in Bangor buying and writing postcards to random strangers to tell them the truth.  I am filing that idea away for a time when I might not be able to get to church or see anyone or be sat in an old folks home with nothing to do.  😊  Im sure her postcards have brought more than smiles to some people.  And Im praying that our postman and the delivery drivers and the neighbours in our wee road read Sonya and Lukes wall and just take ten seconds to think about the message there.

Hay graffiti-making everyone.

Happy Easter

 The tomb is empty.  The promises are true.  The suffering was worth it.  There is a point to it all. There is more to life than this.  God is real.  He loves me.  Hallelujah! May your Easter Day be blessed with new revelation, lots of joy and maybe even some chocolate. Thank you for being a part of my Lent journey yet again this year.  It is always a challenge - in fact I think it gets harder every year.  But its always worthwhile because I always discover something new every time.  And your comments and observations always make me smile and think.   Lots of love Caz xx

Light of the world

 If Jesus is the Light of the world, then how come there is so much darkness?  Where is Jesus in Mariupol?  Where was Jesus during Covid?   We know He is always there but so often it seems hard to see Him.  His light is so bright and His presence so vast how can it be that sometimes we cant see Him? Perhaps the reason is something like this......... The moon is tiny in comparison with the sun.  Its a speck.  Of no significance whatsoever.  And yet when it gets itself in between the sun and the earth it can blot out the light and warmth of that huge star and plunge us into darkness. This is a picture of what Satan does, He is insignificant compared with the might and majesty and power of God.  Utterly meaningless. He has no power, no light, no warmth and nothing at all that can do us any good.   His main objective is to get himself between us and God so that the lights go out and darkness descends.   I have friends who are in a ...

Music

Image
Apparently one of the oldest musical instruments to be discovered dates back 40,000 years and has been found on three separate continents.  Its a set of rocks which can be hit with another rock to make different sounds - a stone xylophone if you will.  Almost as ancient are the hollowed out bones with holes drilled in them which have been discovered all over the place indicating that people were making music long before they were doing most other things.  Like living in houses or farming or writing or pretty much anything else.   Why?  Most things people do are done for some practical reason.  Our ancestors developed skills in order to either defend themselves, grow more or better food, or make life more comfortable in some way.  But the playing of music and the making of musical instruments does nothing 'useful'.  The only use I can think of for making music might be the singing of a mother to soothe her child.  Or possibly the chanting...
