Welcome

I got the idea for this new blog at the end of the week of New Wine, a Christian festival in Somerset, in August 2011. You might guess from my profile that, although not entirely house-bound, I don't very often get out, and it occurred to me that I might try to create a blog to encourage in our faith people like me whose lives are limited in one way or another. I'm hoping that readers will feel able to contribute their own positive ideas. I'm not sure how it will work, but here goes...!
Teach me, my God and King, in all things Thee to see...
A man that looks on glass,
On it may stay his eye,
Or, if he pleaseth, through it pass
And then the heaven espy.

George Herbert (1593-1633)

Oscar's testament

©The Independent
As I blogged earlier, Days at the Paralympics, I much enjoyed my visits to the Paralympics. South African, Oscar Pistorius's run for the 400m was a fitting climax to the stadium competitions. He stormed in to win the gold medal. In the post-race interview, the double amputee twice said what a blessing it was.
Yesterday our friend, Sally Lewis, posted these quotes from him:
“You’re not disabled by the disabilities you have; you are able by the abilities you have”.
“Christ makes all the difference. He aids me in my struggles and makes my glories that much better.”
