Better still...

 I haven't worn my sling today. Shoulder is feeling good. Right thumb cast makes hitting the space bar a little tricky--but not bad.

Bern and I voted this morning at the town hall.

They were very helpful and diligent--lucky to live in Cheshire.

If Trump wins I'll be suicidal--pray for me.

The next few days are tense and dreadful.

We shall see when we see....

Getting there

 I haven't worn my sling today.

Went to church and preached and celebrated.

I spoke about 'faith', which I have learned a lot about in the last two weeks.

Bern's care  for me has given me 'faith' in my life.

Faith may  be something we gain from others.

Maybe....

I'll be  better better by Sunday and go to church and preach.

But  theworld series begins tonight.

But above all, VOTE!

Sunday's sermon

 Tomorrow I'm talking about Mark's Jesus condemning rich people.

In the first century, Jews thought wealth meant God's approval of rich people's lives.

But Jesus turns away a rich young man who won't give up his wealth to follow Jesus.

The disciples are shocked but Jesus tells them: "it is harder for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle.

Pretty tough, no?

Some early scholars suggested that there was a gate to Jerusalem that was called 'the needle' and a camel could go through on it's knees. But why would a camel owner do that because there were other gates.

Besides, history says there was no such gate.

But Jesus saves the rich by saying "In God, all things are possible."

In God all things are possible.

Something to ponder and reflect on.

In God, all things are possible....

I have a bad cold

 I've been sneezing and blowing my nose for two days.

I got the Covid booster yesterday and blamed it. But Bern told me I was crazy....Which I am.

I feel better tonight at 9 p.m. so I hope that holds.

Not great to have a cold as it's getting colder out in the world.

I hate both kinds of 'cold'.
