Camellias have a tough time in British winters. They often set bud early, and can flower from January onward. Luscious blooms glow gorgeously in the low-angled sunlight, and the bushes bring vibrant colour to dark days. Then the snow comes, and the frost bites. Today’s pictures were taken in…
John 2:1-11 – Sharon and Wayne’s Wedding – With MP3!

It’s January. Cold. Worse weather likely before long. I’m not looking forward to that. About three years ago we were “blessed” with bitterly cold north-easterly winds which proceeded to drop snow all over Dunstable Downs.

Engaging The thing I love about this psalm is that it tells so many different things to praise the Lord – and most of them don’t have mouths! So, if Praising God is not (just) about singing, what else could it be? The sun praises God by being sunny, the rain praises God by being … More Psalm 148 – Oh no! Not another Party!
Then, as the Sun kissed the mountain tops, wispy clouds were etched as dark shapes against the Sun. We could make out only the outline of the drama of the eternal cycle of Day and Night- and within minutes, the Sun had vanished, leaving only the embers of a perfect day. … More Shapes Against the Sun- Look, See, Pray
Engaging Light travels at three hundred million meters a second – that’s pretty fast! Sometimes the Christmas flurry feels like it’s going even faster.* Yet we can use candle light for a wonderful ‘slowing down’ spot for children and adults alike.
