JOURNEY AND A FEW LINKS

 For your prayers: I go to Bhutan and India to visit believers on the Lord Jesus there over the next three weekends (if the Lord will).  A first visit to Bhutan, a largely Buddhist country, where Christians are restricted rather than persecuted.

I have eventually put all last year's Indian scenery photographs on https://dcbindia.blogspot.com/.

I have a bit of reading for anyone who wants it at Gislebertus, and also some Reflections here.

You can also look at the Christian magazine for which I share editing work at A Word in its Season.

And here are a few more Scottish scenes:

Near Montrose: with washing hanging out over the sea when the tide comes in.

JOHN

Consciously the disciple whom Jesus

Loved, you followed:

For you had leaned on Him

And you, in that nearness, had

Enquired: these features displayed

Such as continue to the end.

More near Scurdie Ness

JAMES

Was the training - one

Of the select: taken to the house

Of Jairus, the mountain of glory,

The garden of distress - squandered

On the point of Herod's sword?

No; you had thus formed in

Perfection heaven required. 

Scurdie Ness Lighthouse, Near Montrose

Montrose Basin

ANDREW

 

A fisherman's life - finding:

Messias found, your thought

Was first to find your brother

- Earliest fisher of men.

And the boy with loaves and fishes

You discovered: may I have such

Divine serendipity!

and

Lunan Bay

PETER

 

First, Peter ‑ not only

First to speak, wisely
Or not, first to act
Most often rashly ‑ you
Were selected, the first
Apostle to see Christ
Risen; the first preacher
In the fresh era; the first

To invade the Gentile earth.
