Introduction
Pieces of string
What are you most afraid of? (I suppose if you were Australian, it
would be Jimmy Anderson). In my case it is probably skiing. What is

And five per cent even said they would consider ending the relationship
altogether.
Only seven per cent admitted they would find their partner significantly less

I learnt one thing from my rather leisurely travels around the Isle of
Dogs in July it was the importance of maintaining an adequate intake
of energy so that one’s body does not stop working
All of us have a point at which our physical resources are spent (It’s
usually Christmas Day ). This applies spiritually as much as it
does physically. But the bible is full of promises of God’s strength
and provision.
Ch.1

We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about the troubles
we experienced in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far
beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself. 9 Indeed, we felt
we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely
on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.
Ch.4
Ch.12
For myself, the best explanation I have come across was by Michael
Green, once Rector of St Ebbe’s Church in Oxford and a prolific
writer Christian books. He compares God to a chess player who, by
superior skill, will eventually defeat all that is evil. It’s a powerful

regional powers, but expressed a wish for peace. "Hopefully all our wars will be
on the chess board, or something cultural, and not real wars," Mr Gershon
said.But he did admit that breaking an Iranian record was a "big bonus" for
Israel.

and forget not all his benefits—
3
who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
4
who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
5
who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. Psalm 103.1,2
However, here is one thing that we should always try and remember –
all the good things that God has given. According to Psalm 103
forgiveness
healing (present and future)
rescue
love and compassion
