“Of Course You Can” – Look, See, Pray

October 9, 2025

God is walking with us- and He knows what we can and can’t do. Help is offered by the Lord, and within the Kingdom community, but real life always gives real bruises. … More “Of Course You Can” – Look, See, Pray

Does God like us? Look, See, Pray

September 25, 2025

Is that all that God feels for us? Dutifully loving and forgiving, etc., etc., but all very antiseptic and distant; we probably scrape in but it’s pretty close. … More Does God like us? Look, See, Pray

Nature’s Burglar- Look, See, Pray

September 4, 2025

So Soon? Look, See, Pray

August 28, 2025

At least the British Isles do have seasons that provide variety to life (and the perfect topic of polite stilted conversation). If we didn’t have the weather to moan about, we’d have to talk about important things instead! … More So Soon? Look, See, Pray

A Moment of Fame- Look, See, Pray.

August 21, 2025

I don’t know how many people saw this beauty: I was off the beaten track, and only one tiny hoverfly saw me take the picture. … More A Moment of Fame- Look, See, Pray.

Wise Up- Look, See, Pray

August 14, 2025

You can’t outrun the North Sea. Incoming tides are incredibly fast, and if you get to the causeway as the sea is reaching the road… STOP. GO BACK. Or wave goodbye to your prized car and enjoy several hours in the idiot box. … More Wise Up- Look, See, Pray

At Rest- Look, See,Pray

I wonder if there will be boats in heaven? … More At Rest- Look, See,Pray

Start Here… Look, See, Pray

July 31, 2025

The future may hold chicks of her own- it may hold only a short unfortunate encounter with a fox or peregrine! Who knows? … More Start Here… Look, See, Pray

Words, words- Look, See, Pray

July 24, 2025

Complex ideas and cultural references- the civil rights movement, assassination of JFK – have left musicologists grasping vainly to understand Dylan’s art. Some “explain” one or two verses- but I don’t think anyone other than Dylan understands the whole song! … More Words, words- Look, See, Pray
