Sunday in God's world

 Raining today and are they God's tears on a world that has so much violence in it. Some Homo sapiens could do a lot better to rid the world of violence - Russia, Iran and its sycophants (Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis). Other warring groups are signing truces and vowing to do better. The rain this year has been excessive as has the violence. God our Creator lives in the Heavens where order not chaos rule the day. 

Can a people maintain a lifestyle of quiet life in a modern world? That really is the question. One is left with the thought that only if you can protect what you have otherwise you are run over I suspect. Greed predominates and Canada is full of natural resources wanted/needed by many many countries of the world. We survive best by providing for sale such resources ready to go; the idea of the Energy Corridor running across Canada making it possible for us to sell on all of our coasts is a good plan but implementing it needs to satisfy everyone with 85% of Canadians voting for that very thing. Was the Bloc only voting against change because they think it protects Quebec? The greatest protection for Quebec is being part of Canada as the idea of knowing more than one language continues to be a strong part of the Canadian pattern. My daughter, as a young child, wanted to learn the First Nations language but I did tell her there are very many and you need to choose one or more if the opportunity presents itself. Life didn't present the opportunity for her to learn any in this time frame although now she has studied in English, French, Russian, Italian, Spanish and Chinese. I think our young people are much more flexible even then in my day and more than willing to take on more than one language in their life when opportunity presents itself.  

Sunday today and two Church Services to attend once again - one here and one from London, England. I thought I might pull more weeds from the laneway bricks today but the rain may curtail that. It is half done now and does always look lovely when completed. 

Thank you God for the beauty of the earth and would that mankind directed their efforts towards preserving that earth for the generations to come. 

Tea drank and solitaire puzzles next. 

I had an email looking for the Landkey Parish Register files that I published in the Pincombe-Pinkham Newsletter. However I was only interested in Landkey up to the mid 1700s so nothing beyond that and those registers as published in the newsletter contain   Baptisms 1602-1766, Marriages 1602-1755, Burials 1602-1763. I will try to get an email reply done but time does escape this nearly 80 year old!
