My love to Joyce and to you!

When in DOUBT play MOZART !
Thanks for sharing UNCLE ANDY ~ A very interesting DIALOGUE ! God does promise to hear our Prayers and to be with us 24/7. Angela & I feel His presence individually and together. We are encouraged to PRAY for each other and others ~ we have prayer chain in our Church to enable us to pray specifically & intelligently. I (BRIAN) have been a committed CHRISTIAN for over 20 years so I know from experience that GOD can say YES or NO or *Sit still my SON and see how this thing will work out !* In your case (as you have shared with us) GOD seems to be saying ~ My Presence is enough for you to continue to Love & Care for JOYCE ~ which you do ~ and that is always a great inspiration to ANGELA & I ~ OK. In essence CHRISTIANITY is NOT a Man Made Faith it is DIVINE. Unfortunately MAN has corruped CHRISTIANITY and we need to go back to the BIBLE ! When I have prayed for someone with a Terminal Condition (I prayed with & for a Lady last week who has now been called home) and they have DIED the message I receive for GOD is *My GRACE is sufficient for YOU* and GOD has helped my in my GRIEF ~ likewise when I pray for Poeple with Dementia ~ OK. I have been a comitted Christian for over 20 Years and my Faith in GOD grows stronger every day. We pray that your Faith & Testimony may be strengthened ~ AMEN
Blessings & Peace & Love to YOU & JOYCE
Yours as always BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

Need I say I agree with you - you know i do. And much respect to you for this piece today written form your heart and finding justification in reality.
The beautiful remains beautiful and the ugly still ugly, nothing is lost to you. The creator, whoever/whatever that be is still in your heart without the abuse practiced in their name by mankind. That has shone from your writings.
I recall from my childhood learning that jesus was found in the temple throwing out the rogues and traders of that time, rejecting the false teachings. So it looks like you are in good company confronting the establishments of church.
A simple google search about the wealth of various christian religions is an eye opener, especially the catholic church. How dare these ridiculously rich organisations (organisations which have conned their way into charitable status) claim poverty when it comes to church roof repairs etc and beg the flock (how appropriate a word) to fork out. Even being proud to accept and hold high the story of a widows mite.

Fear cannot be the reason for gods existence.
Fear is the reason for one to control another
Fear is instilled in each newborn from the time of birth
It is repeatedly said that God knows everything, if so, then is it not redundant to ask for anything....
One can only control their own actions, so let that be their bible, with the caviate that it is not at the expense of another...
And so on and on and on...

I know - some can play \'going to church\'. It may not mean much, or anything, to them, just a social club. I know someone who moaned \'Oh why do we need the sermon each week?\'
Yet with looking at nature, it is said that God is seen as Creator through it.
We might think \'Oh why bother about all that stuff?\' Yet this is how I myself, anyway, find true reality.
A spark of faith is still within you, I believe. \'Religion\' can just mean belief in something or someone, e.g .\'He religiously goes to football matches every week\'.

A very true way to be Michael. In the passed when I was at teenager I went to an Anglican Church and I realised that many people, at the time, were going to Church to be seen to be going to Church nothing to do with belief.

I was talking to an elderly lady the other day who seemed to very much of the old school and who I could imagine in church every Sunday.. Somehow the conversation got round to religion. She declared much to my surprise that she was an atheist and pointed to the spring fields opposite bathed in sunshine. Just look at that she said. So much beauty out there. That is my god if I have one.

Majestic are our large birds of prey. When i lived at Upper Wick there were a pair of buzzard regularly above us. We were honoured to see them in their mating \'dance\' whereby, at height, they lock talons and tumble, twirling earthwards. Not an everyday sight.
Back in the nineties they were a rare sight in our county but numbers have greatly increased now and yes, just as you say, they are a pleasure to watch as they glide and soar. Masters of the skies.

dusk arising said:
You have developed a pastime which requires a great deal of patience and determination, Have you ever thrown one at the wall in frustration?
The last one i did involved a lot of tree which was taxing to say the least. An old boss of mine liked to impress his junior staff by boasting that he liked his family to give him jigsaw puzzles in a polythene bag and no picture or no picture and all the edge/corner pieces removed. I don\'t really believe it though.
