Pesto and Cheese Toastie

Image
 Sometimes, I just fancy something very simple like a green pesto and cheese toastie. Delicious and very moreish. I give thanks to the Father of lights where all good things come from. ❤️ ----- Relevant Bible verse: "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning." James 1: 17 All good gifts around us Are sent from Heaven above Then thank the Lord, oh, thank the Lord For all His love

You Magnify What You Focus On

Image
The photo below, which came up in my Facebook Memories, was taken 5 years ago. It is a reminder that you magnify what you focus on. The tree holds a special place in my heart because it is exactly where my university campus was based. I knew the surrounding was green but I was so focused on my studies, i didn't realise we were on the edge of an actual country park.  It was only years later that I started exploring that park, which is now one of my favourite parks. During Covid, that park was a life saver.  Now I focus and magnify Jesus and God's goodness in my life. Thank you, God, for giving us wonderful parks to enjoy in London. ❤️ ------ Relevant Bible verses: "Oh, magnify the Lord with me, And let us exalt His name together." Psalm 34: 3 "Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there ...

That Kind of Day

Before I went to the staff kitchen to have my lunch, I stopped off at the cafe to buy a bar of chocolate. There was only one member of staff serving and there were two customers ahead of me ordering several cups of coffee which was taking ages.   When it was finally my turn, I showed him my staff pass. "Why do you keep showing me your pass?" he said. "So I can have my 20% staff discount," I said. "I already know you work here," he said. "You're wearing a uniform, remember?" "Oh yeah!" I burst out laughing. After he scanned the chocolate, he asked me to tap my card. I absentmindedly tapped the bar of chocolate on the machine. "Looks like you really need this chocolate," he said, which made me chuckle. "Yeah, I'm having that kind of day," I said. While I was eating my lunch, I was laughing to myself. I even shared my experience with my manager and a colleague, which made them laugh. After I finished work, I saw...

Meeting Kindred Spirits

On my way to work, I had to travel a different way as the tube line that I normally use was closed.  When I got off the tube to change to the next line, I noticed there were lots of steps leading down to the platform. That means, on my return journey, there would be lots of steps to climb up. I didn't fancy doing that. I decided to check out the tube map to see if there was an alternative step-free route back.  A transport staff standing nearby asked if he could help me. At first, I said I was fine, but then I asked him for his advice.  He asked me where I would be travelling home to. After telling him, he suggested an alternative route, which I wasn't too keen on. I thanked him and told him I would travel a different way. While I was waiting for my train, the transport staff and I had a chat. He told me he knew the area where I live as he lives in the neighbouring town. When I told him I lived opposite this huge supermarket, he said when that supermarket first opened, he...

Fun at Work

Every day before I go to work, I always ask God to make my day easy, fun and wonderful.  He always delivers. Here are some funny episodes at work. A colleague sent out the following message on the radio to the duty manager:   "Duty manager, a child has just rearranged the exhibition!" I reckon the child thought his ideas were better than the curator's. 😂 ***** While I was chatting to this visitor at this museum, she asked me where my parents were from. I told her it was Sierra Leone. She said, "Do you have relatives there or have they moved over here?" "In a manner of speaking, my mum, dad, uncles and aunts have all moved to the other side."   Because  I was laughing at the pun, it put her at ease and she also chuckled. 😂 ***** When I caught someone in this gallery touching a furniture, I asked her not to touch it.  Her friend said, "She was polishing it."   Later, on their way out, I asked them if they'd given the furniture a good poli...

About Law, Grace and Mercy

When the bus I was on was approaching this bus stop, no one rang the bell so the driver continued.  I heard this woman downstairs yelling at the driver and asking him to stop, but he continued driving. The passenger kept saying, "Oh God."  Finally,, the driver stopped at the next stop, about quarter of a mile away, and the passenger got off. I believe the bus driver represents the Law, which shows no mercy. If you break the law, which in this case was not ringing the bell for the next bus stop, the driver won't stop.   Even if he wanted to show mercy to the passenger, he couldn't anyway because there are cameras on the road. I know for a fact that if a bus driver gets caught stopping where he's not supposed to, he will either get disciplined or lose his job. I believe that's the danger of AI and robots taking over many human tasks in the future.  AIs are like the Law which will punish you if you don't follow the rules.   How do you apply the Law while ...
