A New Life

It's been a while.
The Shed has a new home. Somewhere called Staffs. There are lots of trees. Had a pleasant tour yesterday. There were horses running around a lake. Almost too beautiful. God is good.
And the shed survived being uprooted and deconstructed, transplanted and remantled. It was built to last - longer than I expected.

First sermon at a new church on Sunday. It probably requires great wisdom to know what to say on these occasions. My favourite saying about knowledge and wisdom is that you may know that a tomato is technically a fruit, but wisdom is not putting it in a fruit crumble.
There's some low-hanging fruit appearing in the tree by the shed. Not sure what it is yet. Which reminds me to get on with the sermon. By their fruit you shall know them. 


Matthew 11:16-19New International Version - UK (NIVUK)

16 ‘To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the market-places and calling out to others:
17 ‘“We played the pipe for you,
    and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge,
    and you did not mourn.”
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, “He has a demon.” 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, “Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.” But wisdom is proved right by her deeds.’
