Me, me, me, me,me

When you have young children you get used to hearing 'it's mine' quite often. But many people, as they get older, still imagine that the world revolves around them - it's all about me. Pride is the cause of so much tension in church. This Sunday we are looking at 1 Peter 5:1-7, which reminds us of the importance of humility and of God's opposition to the proud.

Peter's words are directed to those who he describes as shepherds of the flock, and then to the flock. And this Sunday I am not preaching. So looking forward to receiving from these verses.

Alpha and Omega

Been to music practice earlier where we were introduced to a new song, Alpha and Omega by Israel Houghton.

First Fruits

Here it is - the first fruit from my garden this year - one raspberry - and it tasted pretty good too. A few other raspberries may be ready soon, a couple of tomatoes are forming, the lettuce is almost ready to start picking - but the sweet corn is only knee high - what's going on there?

Codex Sinaiticus

Have you ever wondered what one of the oldest Christian Bibles looks like. Codex Sinaiticus was handwritten well over 1600 years ago, and the manuscript contains the Christian Bible in Greek, including the oldest complete copy of the New Testament. And now it is available online at http://www.codex-sinaiticus.net/

You may be interested to take a look even if you don't understand a word of Greek.
