He’s cute when his parents hold him. He’s cute when friends or aunties hold him. But he’s REALLY cute when his Nana holds him, and he’s cutest of all when Papa (that’s ME!!!) holds him.
Axiom
a premise so evident as to be indisputable / above controversy.
Earlier this week, I did some painting. I wore old clothes that already had been “decorated” during previous painting jobs.
Today, I wore a coat and tie to church. I didn’t wear them for painting, nor would I wear them for gardening or changing a tyre. That would be silly. I have old clothes for that kind of stuff.
You don’t do messy, filthy stuff in your best clothes. That’s daft.
Years ago, as a boy, I remember watching a really, really dumb television show in which, through “magic,” a man came into possession of the next day’s newspaper. He took advantage of it to go to the horse races and bet all his money on the horse named as the winner in the next day’s paper.
To his great dismay, the horse came second. He assumed the newspaper was a fraud, and having lost his fortune, he tore up his winning ticket and threw it away — only to learn a few minutes later that there was a steward’s inquiry, the first horse had been disqualified, and the horse he had bet on had won. Too late — he couldn’t recover his ticket, and his savings were lost, anyway.
Today is Candace’s birthday! Hooray!
Why is this pastor writing about someone’s birthday, you ask? Well, this isn’t just any birthday, this is Candace’s birthday — and Candace is a doll.
Last week, the art exhibit, Canaletto: Celebrating Britain, finished its run at the Holburne Museum in Bath (it opens later this month in Kendal for three months, for anyone interested and able to travel to Kendal). I enjoy Canaletto’s work, but I’m far from an art expert, nor am I particularly an art lover (I just love someone who loves art), and this is not an article about art, or about Canaletto. 🙂
The best blog posts are composed when a baby grandson is cuddled on the writer’s lap.

I was saddened to hear, a little over a week ago, of the passing of a pastor I’ve know for some years. While we may not have been in entire agreement on everything, I knew his desire was to serve the same Lord I seek to serve, and he had been a friend to me personally and to our ministry.
