More Tozer anyone?

"Importance of the Devotional Mood"
"To establish our hearts in the devotional mood we must abide in Christ, walk in the Spirit, pray without ceasing and meditate on the Word of God day and night. Of course this implies separation from the world, renunciation of the flesh and obedience to the will of God as we are able to understand it. And what is the devotional mood? It is nothing else than constant awareness of God's enfolding presence, the holding of inward conversations with Christ and private worship of God in spirit and in truth. Public worship embraces the community of believers and is genuine only as the individuals who compose the company assemble in the mood of reverent devotion. Anything short of this is sheer formality and must surely be unacceptable to God."

(page 116 of "The Set of the Sail")

Well, there is definitely some food for thought there.
Enjoy it!

A nice trip out with Granny

Well, I took a day off work today and went with my Mum, Gran and Aunt Marilyn up to the Lake District and we had a sail on Windermere. Gran will be 91 on Monday and she's always loved having a sail. So we had a lovely time with some gorgeous scenery on a gorgeously sunny day. It got REALLY cold on the way back from Ambleside to Bowness so we actually had to go inside and warm up! Here's some pictures.











After our sail, we had a quick look in a couple of shops and then had a lovely ride down to Crooklands Restaurant for lunch (really yummy!) and another lovely ride back home.
So we had a very pleasant day:)
