8 am
Went to St Andrews anglican service, communion and worship
Very quiet, traditional service but I enjoyed the reverant attitude promoted by this style. Sat right at the back since my mobility (brought on , according to the specialists, by neurological things – your prayers would not go amiss here) and confidwence demanded this. My giddiness wass not too good.
Bible Study at 11.30 am
There is a scripture I have been chewing over for the last 2 days. I think I may of got a head start in understandng it’s application to 2day from The Message version but that would have made it too easy – it would take away the need to mediate on the Word which is honourable according to
Psalm 1
1 Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners
or sit in the seat of mockers.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers.
The Word is:
Deuteronomy 24:19
When you are harvesting in your field and you overlook a sheaf, do not go back to get it. Leave it for the alien, the fatherless and the widow, so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
For me this would be:
When I am producing fruit or pursueing God’s will in some area, and forget/overlook/neglect a more righteous attitude/comment/reaction or a godly fruit, do not “sweat it”. Remedy by sowing/acting justly, showing mercy and walking humbly with them and God and this will honour God!

Had a brilliant sharing time with a uncommonly loyal bruised reed today. I admire him greatly and his future is destined to be exceptional. We looked at Deuteronomy 24:19
