Changes and the one who doesn’t change

,
"Through all the changing scenes of life..." comes to mind, but when I looked it up in my hymnbook it wasn't there. If anyone out there who is reading this can supply the rest of the hymn, that would be a blessing! I know this hymn has some…

Goody Two Shoes

'Goody Two-Shoes' is the name given to a poor orphan - Margery Meanwell. She was so poor as to possess only one shoe and was delighted when given a pair of shoes by a rich gentleman. Then she kept repeating that she had 'two shoes'. Sometimes,…

Rest

,
I was going to write a blog on 'trust' and then I read Hebrews 4 that is about the rest of God and realised afresh that trusting is just like resting. As Christians, we believe that the finished work of Christ happened when Jesus died and He…
