A few days ago
I discovered Scripture Dig
and reading the postings of the Godly writing team I was greatly blessed ….
and challenged ……
and inspired ……
and it brought me to tears……
Have you ever?
considered what happened on the Cross of Calvary and in the Resurrection of our
Lord Jesus Christ?
I encourage you to discover Scripture Dig for yourself …..
and perhaps
you too will be brought to tears ..…
11th JULY 2010
hot and sunny!
Just want to say a HUGE BIG
C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S
to my son for running the 10K today at under the one hour
http://www.runnersworld.co.uk/
on behalf of an orphanage in South America.
WELL DONE! WE ARE PROUD OF YOU!
The Clock in the town
has a LONG HISTORY
“It was in 1606 that Richard Ashcombe left £50 to build a house ‘over and above’
the cross and it then became a place where people sold perishable goods such as butter.
The clock turret was added later in 1683 following a bequest by William Blake
of Cogges who was a successful draper, wool merchant and local benefactor.
Cogges had plenty of common pasture where some local people kept flocks of sheep.
Some of those involved in the wool trade became rich and were able,
like the Blake family, to benefit the local community through endowments and charities.”
I think you will agree …..
That is a long TIME ago.
It got me thinking about T I M E.
Perhaps it is moving to a new area and everything is new,
my thoughts have been a little looking back,
a little looking to the future,
but it has made me think about my T I M E here and NOW,
after all
many seconds and minutes have ticked away in my writing even this post.
How do I “spend” my time?
after all
I only have one go at this thing called LIVING!
Here are some words from others about this elusive thing ….
T I M E
“Lost time is never found again.”
Benjamin Franklin
“The future
is something which everyone reaches at the rate of 60 minutes an hour,
whatever he does,
whoever he is.”
C. S. Lewis
“Time goes, you say? Ah, no! alas, time stays, we go.”
Henry Austin Dobson
“Time is too precious to spend – it should be invested”
Derek Stringer
Are you aware that
there is another clock that is ticking ….
we do not see it or hear it ….
it’s History is from the beginning of T I M E
and it does have an ALARM
listen to it ….
“No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father
So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”
Matthew 24: 36, 44
Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.
Matthew 25:13
the words of Jesus Christ.
But we can get ready and be watchful for the times in which we live.
I would lovingly encourage you to invest the T I M E
to click on the Billy Graham button on the right ….
it will only take about 5 minutes of your TIME
but would last for the rest of your lifeTIME!
That’s a good Investment
Whatever the T I M E clock says where you are,
God’s Clock is still Ticking
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame …….
O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary.
On the first day of the week being Sunday, when the women went to the
to the tomb …. they were told ….
“Jesus is not here,
He is Risen; go to Galilee and He will meet you there!”
YOU can meet JESUS today too …. just follow
The Steps to Peace with God
with Billy Graham
It will be a life changing meeting – guaranteed!
Did you know there is a cross shape in the heavens?
see here …..
From Hubble telescope
The core of the Whirlpool Galaxy
Amazing!
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown

Church on a shanty hill, Lima, Peru
Jesus said “For where two or three are gathered together in my name,
there am I in the midst of them.”
Matthew 18:20

“Giving thanks always …..” Ephesians 5:20
This little girl giving thanks for her food in a shanty area of Lima, Peru.
She could have soup at the after school club just three days in a week.
The other four???
May I always remember to be Thankful.
Life may be full of patches and corners,
BUT God can piece us together!
Happy Valentines Day!
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son
that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have
everlasting life. John chapter 3 v 16
Living in the High Peak with hills all around me, as I walk Bella I often remember this verse of promise
it goes on to say “My help cometh from the Lord who made heaven and earth.”
What a promise!
