Our Journey Through The Valley (57)
~~Reflecting on this passage began with some thoughts about the folly of comparisons. Jesus has just delivered a word to Peter about the nature of his (Peter's) death. It wasn't exactly an appealing prospect. I can't imagine what Peter must have been thinking as he turned and saw John.…read moreOur Journey Through The Valley (56)
~~As Bev's condition with Motor Neurone Disease continues to deteriorate, I am withdrawing from other responsibilities so that I can give the highest priority to help her (or tale over) in the various duties and responsibilities that cannot be ignored. Helping her shower and dress is one such…read moreOur Journey Through The Valley (55)
~~Making comparisons between people in their varied circumstances is usually unfair, illogical and unhelpful. Yet this is what I was doing last week. I was musing about our circumstances and this walk through the valley of the shadow of death. With Bev having been given a diagnosis of Motor Neurone…read moreOur Journey Through the Valley (54)
~~Bev and I make every effort to read a portion of God's Word each day (not always successfully, I might add). Yet we are often amazed at the relevance of that daily reading in that it speaks to our immediate cares, concerns or questions. Over this last weekend one of those readings took us…read moreOur Journey Through The Valley (53)
~~Sometimes life seems a little more than a bit unfair!!

I (Mike) found myself thinking this way…read moreOur Journey Through The Valley (52)
FROM BEV (Read and be blessed!!) I have just heard of the death of a friend's father... Part of the email read, " absent from the body but present with The Lord" . What an amazingly, comforting, mind blowing, empowering, motivating promise we have from the Bible. Our last breath on…read moreOur Journey Through The Valley (51)

This is one of those hymns that we used to sing often a few decades ago but not so in more recent times. It contains…read moreOur Journey Through The Valley (50)
Last Saturday, Bev and I received a very special gift, a gift that lifted our spirits and reminded us again about how many people love and pray for us. Bev has retained her ties with the ladies' Bible Study Group to which she belonged at our previous Church. The ladies in that group are…read moreOur Journey Through The Valley (49)
Sometimes this disease (MND) seems to have the "pause button" activated so that it feels like everything is put on hold. One can easily be lulled into thinking that this is as far as the disease will go and this is how it will be from this point. Then the very next day (or so it seems)…read moreOur Journey Through The Valley (48)
Why this? Why now? Why me? Given what happens to some people in their life's experience, one can understand why they would ask these questions if a life of well-being over many years suddenly reversed and was replaced by a life of apparent negatives - poor health, financial ruin, relational…read more
