Only words

What others say to us and what we say to others can last a long time, for good or for evil. The casual sarcastic or critical remark can inflict a lasting injury on another person. The well-timed encouragement or compliment can inspire someone for the rest of their life.

~ David Guzik

This is terrifying.

And true.

And we don't know which of our words will be quickly forgotten, and which will have a lasting effect.

Lord, set up a guard for my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.

~Psalm 141v3

Caffeine

No caffeine for an entire month! 😯

Wonder how long I can keep this up.

Expensive design?

If I were to spend considerably more than my year's income on a watch, I would want the text on its face to be somewhat more professionally designed than what looks like Zapf Chancery (a ubiquitous off-the-peg font) set in all caps (which swash capitals should not be).

Wood 🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳 Tree 🌳

It's not good to be unable to see the wood for the trees.

But nor is it good to be unable to see the trees for the wood.

A balance is necessary.

 

(I tend to lean towards the former, I suspect)

I was reading the back of my popcorn packet, as you do.

Never seen this before:

Never tried that before!

The pot pourri in the church toilets was looking rather dusty. Not the easiest thing to dust, and I wanted to deal with it fairly quickly. 

So I washed it.

And it worked!

Obviously would depend on the pot pourri - don't blame me if you try this and it goes horribly wrong.

[Edit: It ended up getting mildew, so if I did it again I'd want to dry it thoroughly]

We do not know what to do...

A passage I keep going back to just now is 2 Chronicles 20, especially verse 12:

"We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you”

And this song which goes well with it (I know it's based on the Red Sea passage, but it still fits).
