Walking with God

So MPs over here have voted to back the bill to allow assisted dying.  As a Christian, God has made it very clear that: "You shall not murder." (Genesis 20: 13)  Whether you call it assisted dying or suicide, it  is still murder.  There are exceptions like self-defence and accidental death, otherwise murder is murder. Before my mum passed, she was put in induced coma so they could continue to medicate her. They also did lots of tests. The consultant called me to give me the results. He told me mum's organs were shutting down and there was nothing further they could do for her.  He said if her heart stopped, they were not going to resuscitate her. It was now up to my brother and I to decide when to switch off her life support. In other words, we were being asked to assist mum's death. I refused to accept that.  Just because the medics don't have a cure doesn't mean that is the end. They are not God. I have watched tons of videos about people who have actuall...

Just received an email to notify me that they've had to suspend part of the Piczadilly Line because of fallen leaves on the track. They are working to restore the service. That's what happens in Autumn, fallen leaves. Um, is this the first time we are experiencing Autumn in this country?  For anyone travelling on the tube this weekend, avoid the Piccadilly Line as parts of it will be closed on Saturday and Sunday because of planned engineering works, not fallen leaves. 😄 I took this photo a week ago. Note the fallen leaves on the ground.

When my flatmate's cat, Zeus, stood near the door leading to the back garden, I thought I'd have some fun with him first. "Do you want to.go out?" He stared at me. "Go on, say please," I said. "Tell me you want to go out." I then turned round to do the washing-up in the sink.  Suddenly, I heard "Go out" behind me.   "Did you just say "go out"?" I said. "What a clever boy!" I then opened the door and let him out. I wish I had my phone to record him! 😄

"Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever." 1 Chronicles 16:3 --- Happy Thanksgiving Day to all my relatives and friends celebrating in America and all over the world. Although we don't have Thanksgving Day over here in the UK, every day is an opportunity for me to give thanks to God. I thank God for His goodness and mercy.  Even when things appear not to be going my way, I still thank Him and praise Him in whatever the circumstance. If God were to withdraw His Light from the universe, which actually gives life to the physical universe, there would be utter darkness and evil will reign supreme. Thank God, His Light keeps the evil one at bay. Thank you, God, for living in me, expressing through me and walking with me. Thank you, God, for being You! ❤️🥰 ---- Related Bible verses: "I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth."

"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.'" -John 14:6 ----- One thing I have learned about  pets is how reliant they are on their owners. Take my flatmate's cat, Zeus, as an example. My flatmate provides Zeus with food and water, beds (including ours), shelter, medication, visits to the vet when needed, a nice garden for him to explore, toys and lots of affection. (Zeus loves us back in his own way). When my flatmate is away, she always has someone looking after Zeus. In other words, my flatmate is Zeus' personal god, even though Zeus thinks he is god.  Zeus doesn't always know what's good for him. One time when he got into a fight with the local hoodlum cat, he came home wounded. After his god tended to his wound, he still wanted to go out and finish the fight. My flatmate had to keep him indoors for his own safety. In the same respect, when you  accept Jesus as your personal Lord a...

As I had run out of essentials like toilet rolls, cleaning products and laundry tablets, I decided to pop into our local supermarket, which happens to be right opposite where I live. After I got everything on my shopping list, I went to the checkout. I noticed there were a few tills being served by humans. I haven't used those in a long time. The one I picked only had two customers ahead of me which means I'll be out in a jiffy. I quickly realised that wasn't going to happen. The checkout assistant was having a chat in Turkish with the first elderly customer.  She also helped the customer to count her cash. The next customers were an elderly couple. The woman told the checkout assistant that they were her colleague's parents and they had a chat.  They were also paying by cash. I could feel myself getting worked up. I heard the Holy Spirit in me whispering, "Calm down!" I know, I know!  If I wanted express service, I should have used  self-checkout, right? When...

"Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” John 8: 12 ---- When I arrived at the tube station, it was heaving with passengers. Some of them were  chanting which meant they had had just come from a football match. I started feeling like my energy was being drained and the lights were growing dimmer around me,  As the platform for the northbound trains was overcrowded, I decided to catch a train going southbound, get off at the next stop and then travel back north. This way, I could avoid the crowd.   When I finally got on the northbound train and got a seat, I was still feeling as if my world was going darker. I closed my eyes and then silently declared to myself the following: "I live in the Light of Christ. His Presence fills this train and the entire network." When I opened my eyes, I noticed the tube was a lot brighter and I  was feeling energised. By the ti...
