A thoughtful day + Romans 12 Verse 1 + a monthly market

Yesterday, much sitting in front of my computer screen. I am reading a discourse on left brain hemisphere 'vs' right brain hemisphere by Iain McGilcrist. His article is entitled 'Left-brain thinking will destroy civilization'. Have a read. So, off this morning to the Vineyard service. We had a talk on Romans 12 Verse 1.   Tally, one of the local group leaders, gave the talk. It was her first,...

A salutary lesson for potential electric car buyers

https://rense.com/general97/ev.php If that does not make you jump then nothing will. But I digress. How is this for a therapy?  Neurographic art. Watch this 5.46 minute demo.

Bits keep on falling off so he will just go on using it...

All the world is a stage – even in Lidl

So the lady with a full trolley was so apologetic that an item had dropped off and smashed all over the floor.  A manager came along and carefully picked out the glass shards.  He then turned up with a wet floor cleaner machine and in a minute or so the whole was pristine. I was standing nearly when I heard the smash of glass so camera in hand I recorded the scene. I saw a certain similarity of...
