Nice to Belong – Look, See, Pray

September 29, 2022

They will learn to fly, to find food, and eventually in elegant independence will grace the waterways and skies. But only when they are ready. Until then, belonging to the family is their security and survival. … More Nice to Belong – Look, See, Pray

Cat People? Look, See, Pray

September 22, 2022

Just why does a cat linger near a birdtable? Hmmm. Trying to look innocent, and viewing me with disdain…

Autumn Essence – Look, See, Pray

September 15, 2022

For a photographer, the rich colours of autumnal foliage appeal strongly. So here is a photo of “Rhus” leaves turning from green to scarlet, orange, yellow and brown. But I wanted to make people look twice; so I used an artistic editing filter to stylise the shapes and lines into poster art. … More Autumn Essence – Look, See, Pray

Hi-bear-nate: Look, See, Pray

September 1, 2022

It’s possible that something similar happens with ….. … More Hi-bear-nate: Look, See, Pray

Walnut Tree- Look, See, Pray

August 26, 2022

Reflect and Reveal- Look, See, Pray

August 11, 2022

Reflections are intriguing. They conceal as well as reveal: we normally expect to look THROUGH glass. Light bouncing back from the surface changes that. Honestly, those coach windows are rather dull without a reflection! Many reflections would be uninspiring- but a range of mountains adds a touch of class to the glass. … More Reflect and Reveal- Look, See, Pray

The Parched Land will be Glad – Look, See, Pray

August 4, 2022

the driest July on record, a hosepipe ban, no likelihood of rain for weeks. I’ve already had to help some plants with heat shock- in England! – and I thought a couple of them were dying. Isn’t grass supposed to be green? I am fervently hoping for rain. … More The Parched Land will be Glad – Look, See, Pray

Can You Guess? Look, See, Pray

July 28, 2022

Why are we doing it? Two good reasons: 1. it’s fun and kids deserve fun; 2. It’s about Jesus and kids deserve to hear about His special love and life. … More Can You Guess? Look, See, Pray

At My Convenience- Look, See, Pray

July 21, 2022

Toilet troubles… not much in Scripture about such basic functions, is there? Not many sermons preached on “Regular Quiet Times in the Tiny Tabernacle.” … More At My Convenience- Look, See, Pray
