Tuesday's thoughts

I really don't know about this blog stuff. Maybe if someone told me that five hundred and seventy-three people read your blog for every comment that is noted, I might be more inclined to share my thoughts. But I really don't think that is the case. Besides, I will be ceasing "publication" at the end of this week, with or without a summary.

The weekend was what is commonly called foul weather. We had a couple of centimetres of snow (a bit less than an inch) on our property, and it was cold. The snow was preceded by a southerly storm. I wonder whether it was similar to what Elijah experienced? He heard the voice of God - but not in the storm.

My Friday friend and I have almost completed arrangements to meet in ten days' time or so. That's the Kingdom of God at work. Our son has been in Christchurch on business and a long-standing issue has been solved. Strange that. We prayed together this morning that it would be resolved - and it was. Can I say (again?) that it is so strange that these co-incidences seem to happen when people pray. Pressure off all round, and that is such a relief. Praise God - the Almighty One who is King of his Kingdom.

We had a wonderful walk with our Ten O'Clockers' group this morning - around Ferrymead. Places I had never seen. And the sun was shining. A new man joined the group, so that makes two of us among the lovely ladies. What is God's plan for this encounter? He is a musician, so appreciates music. That's obvious. The sounds of music (concords, not discords) speak to me of a very mathematical and physical God. Is that so strange?

I think your blog is like a pebble dropped in a pool. A "ripple of the Kingdom of heaven" is much like a "flutter of the kingdom" don't you think?

Besides... does it matter how many people are "watching" our journey? Interacting or not, there is communal richness here. I thank you for bravely sharing some of your journey.

I'd be interested in your thoughts Allan.

As for me, scanning each of the blogs, may be less rich for your signing off.

Peace,

Adrian

Thank you, Adrian. That's very encouraging. The numbers were a bit of "tongue-in-cheek" stuff, really. A friend told me that if I was doing this just for me, I'd be better to write it n a bit of paper and stuff it in a box at home. So I do appreciate it when someone has read what I have written.
