India

 For your prayers I visit India from tomorrow for over two weeks to be with believers on the Lord Jesus there.  I'll be in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, Mumbai and Coimbatore.


Grace be with you

JACOB

 More than a mother's love,

A divine secret,

Moved Rebecca to discern

Jacob was loveable.


"What was torn I have not

Brought to thee", Jacob attested,

The words of a man

Who did justly.


Renamed, after his wrestling,

And his maiming

He, Israel, could walk as one

Of God's nobility.


To approach God's house

- "Put away the strange gods ...

And cleanse yourselves" -

Demanded purity.


After the byways, 

Skewed routes, now

Leaning on his staff,

A true worshipper.


Seat by the shore: what you can see from it is below.  All near Callanish.
