The death of a spouse, a Zoom meeting on Joy

A day of death and joy After a morning attending to domestic things I decided to go and perform gardening work for one of my clients who I knew had lost her husband a couple of weeks ago. I see plenty of videos and TV on people suffering in hospital but not so many 'beginning to end' stories. The widow told us in detail what happened with her husband His wife Valerie said:  My husband started to...

A new experiment in hospitality – Sunday lunch

To my informal service in the old Methodist Church in Radstock. There were about 16 of us and we met for the service, hearing a talk about how Saul converted into being Paul. The Pharisees of which Saul was one felt that they were doing right thing in persecuting Christians and it took the 'Damascus moment' when the Spirit of Jesus said Saul Saul why are you persecuting me?

As I may have said before, the main thing is to get a good...

Second ZOOM meeting, lots of good feedback and thanks

There is no question in my mind that we are hard-wired to communicate together, especially if we have something in common. In my case, it is fellow Red Pill people who see the world in a different way. Yesterday I sent out 24 invitations to attend a ZOOM meeting. We ended up with 11 people including a very interesting and dynamic lady from California who wanted to buy land and grow food....
