Just how I feel in this moment of waiting; the promise of the rainbow, and moving and changing sea. My faith that has taken me through all the storms of life and sometimes I’ve hung on with fear and trembling. The middle is a nowhere place without anything to guide. There’s part of me wantingContinue reading “Stuck in the middle…”

A photograph from friends who are on holiday in Grand Canaria .A real sense of tranquility and peace. When Apollo 11 landed on the moon in July 1969, the area it landed on was named Traquility base.

….that thou my God, shouldst die for me? Amazing love; can it be true? The words of Charles Wesley. Reaching into our hearts and souls.
