Just a Thought

For better or worse, sometimes I only have a single, unqualified thought. This seemed as good a place as any to drop off some shareable quotes, poetry and a nuisance idea for those who need a shot.

Humble, Yet Hardy

Humble, Yet Hardy - Sermo Humilis

John the Baptist came preaching repentance and baptising those who knew they needed to get right with God. He was unflinching, unbending and unyielding to the expectations of the Scribes and Pharisees. He would rather live in a dungeon than mince around the Palace wearing a … [Read more...] about Humble, Yet Hardy

An Ocean of Goodness

An Ocean of Goodness - Sermo Humilis

Have you ever been to one of those church meetings where you are encouraged to say a prayer and invite Jesus into your heart? And, provided you were sincere - congratu-well-done!

They stop us in our tracks as … [Read more...] about Gazing at Eternity

The Hounds of Love

The Hounds of Love - Sermo Humilis

There is something of a weight that descends on many people when the love (charity, service) they give moves from a voluntary response to, 'Do it, it's your job”. I wonder if doctors find it easier to care for the sick once they retire from "doctoring"? I wonder if nurses feel … [Read more...] about The Hounds of Love
