Having Seen Better Days.
The other day I managed to photograph a common blue butterfly, a name which seems to be a misnomer as I have rarely seen one. I caught a glimpse of one last year but I was never close enough to … Continue reading
Some Seed Fell on Stony Ground.
This photo was taken recently of a leaf that was part of a plant protruding from a dry-stane dyke near Lochan Eilein, and the recent dry weather has distressed this leaf turning it red. In the parable of the sower, sometimes … Continue reading
A Two-edged Sword Cuts Both Ways.
Paul writing in the letter to the Ephesians (6:17) refers to the Sword of the Spirit. The writer to the Hebrews refers to the Word of God being sharper than a two-edged sword (4:12). Connecting these two statements is 2 … Continue reading
The Sign of Jonah.
Despite the many miracles performed by Jesus he was approached by the Scribes and Pharisees and asked for a sign so he could prove who He was. “He [Jesus] replied: “only a wicked and adulterous generation would ask for a … Continue reading

Lessons in Metamorphosis – Part 2
The above photograph is a picture of a pair of dragonflies mating, and it only when mating that dragonflies and damselflies contort their bodies in such a way. I came across the following section in the Collins Complete Guide to … Continue reading
Reflections on the Cross – Part 4. “What Must I Do To Be Saved?”
In Part 3 when I asked the question concerning whether God would make provision for the salvation of the men responsible for Jesus’ actual crucifixion I did not answer it. In short I believe the answer to be yes. But … Continue reading
Reflections on the Cross – part 3. “Father, Forgive Them, For They Do Not Know What They Are Doing.” Luke23:34.
When we read these words we ask ourselves at whom were they directed, everybody who witnessed the crucifixion, including those who were baying for his blood, or just the execution party? The general concensus among Bible scholars is that they … Continue reading
