That\'d be write for sure - a world where reality ceases to exist. Though we were both there in 1066 of course. Have we written our book about it yet?!

A fine write. I was only thinking the same thing myself - I must write a book about porkies and sherries! heehee.

Towards That Place.

A wonderful poem. Sometimes I am definitely not at my required destination but after a while of hard work and prayer I\'m at least at the place I need to be even if it\'s not what I truly want. Great write!

Towards That Place.
Michael Edwards said:
What if? Yes but? Whatever, I always look forward to the next step and whether it takes me where I want to go or somewhere else entirely doesn\'t matter - I so enjoy the journey and the surprises along the way. I feel I have so much to live for. This super write describes that so well.

Though conversely who was it who said
\"the saddest words in the English language are \'what if\' \"? Or something like that.

It\'s often the twists and turns and changes of direction that provide the most fun.
This comes across in your poem, which i really enjoyed.

It\'s true though. We may think \'Aww I really wanted to do such-and-such but couldn\'t do it\'. Then something else comes along, which we otherwise may not have done.

A fine write. To be daft - Oh I know, it\'s a bother when I can\'t find my way to the pork pie place / shop, with all the road works about! heehee.

Thanks for your very frank confession BROTHER ~ It made me sad but at the same time it honestly highlighted some of the issues that test our Faith ~ especially for Christians in later life. You have enjoyed the blessings of Christian Service with a Godly Wife at your side supporting you in all aspects of your Ministry ~ not everyone has such a blessing from the Lord. Remember our Catholic Priests are celibate and have no such blessing. I can understand that your wife\'s dementia is gradually removing that blessing from you. I have never faced such a circumstance ~ I trust (and pray) that I would be Praising the Lord for all his past blessings. As we grow older we see our Grandparents and Parents die and deteriorate and also we suffer the loss of siblings and people in our extended Family ~ that\'s life. As Christians we have the privilege of PRAYER and also the assurance that our loved ones are in Glory and that we shall meet them again. You are on my Prayer List GF and I trust that when you count your blessings (past ~ present ~ future) you Faith in GOD will be restored and strengthened ~ AMEN. Yours in Christ ~ BRIAN

Yet some churches I think: Why bother to have faith? if it seems to just be bumbling along and getting nowhere. Though that could be just \'having faith in going to church\' or in the services. Hold on tight there. I feel it\'s better to have faith in Him that in ourselves. And then my usual \'I don\'t know why\' is my answer to many things. My hymn-poems seems to state facts. I suppose one could write them and just believe in Psalms as historical records, yet to me they are more than that.

It\'s difficult. Easy to give \'pat answers\', saying He knows, He cares, etc. Yet it is true. I maybe have \'blind faith\' or believe naively at times. I know it\'s easy for me to have faith, even strong faith, when all is cosy, all going well.

Oops one more, to be daft - there\'s time no longer for me to wait for my pork pies. I\'m gonna scoff one! heehee.

Also there is \'time, times, and half a time\'. Some see this as symbolic; some take it as 3 and a half literal years.

A very fine write. There\'s a bit where it says there is silence for half an hour (that may be literally 30 mins, or symbolic). Either way it seems a strange silence. What next? Something awesome, foreboding, dramatic, or what? We can read on in Revelation to find out.
