Micah 6:8
Zechariah 14:20-21
Yes, your life matters.
We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?
Today is Oranges And Lemons Day, and I've already had a glass of orange juice! "Oranges and Lemons," say the bells of St. Clement's. Takes me back to 1975 and my first visit to London. We were (partly) a handbell choir, so we made a stop at the Whitechapel bell foundry to see how they were made. (Our bells were American-made English handbells from Schulemrich in Pennsylvania, but it was still cool to see the place where they made bells like ours.)
That was a wonderful trip - four weeks driving around in a couple rented VW microbuses and camping (in tents!) mostly at horse racing tracks as it was the off-season. That was the first place I ever woke to find it raining inside my tent. The three of us (Tim, Rick, Charlie) made a quick dash for one of the vans where we spent the night. I have a picture somewhere of Rick wringing out a paperback novel in the morning when we went to recover our belongings from the flooded tent.
Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
