Silence

'I have kept silence' Psalm 72

Tricky updating this, pc down.

Tempted

'...in some way the tempter might have tempted you...' I Thessalonians 3:5

Really should n`t have had that German beer...

Waiting

'He was waiting for the kingdom of God' Luke 23:51

What are you waiting for?

Repulsive

'You have taken from me my closest friends and made me repulsive to them' Psalm 88:8

Insolence

'Because you rage against me and your insolence has reached my ears, I will put my hook through your nose...' 2 Kings 19:28

Mocking God Almighty is very unwise.

Work

'Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.' Colossians 3:23

The Japanese work ethic is pretty intense. It is easy to see why this is one of the richest countries on earth, and I cannot help but respect the attention to detail so many people here have. So far in Japan, I have utterly failed to keep the words of Saint Paul quoted here. But now it seems I have one more chance of a fresh start...

T

The Teacher asks: ' Where is the guest room...?' Luke 22:11

The interesting thing about teachers, and I have met a lot, is that they are all unique. I am sure I don`t deserve the title: 'teacher'. But Jesus gets the only capital T. Is there room in our lives for Him, or is He consigned to the stable again?

Countrymen

'Speak to your countrymen and say to them:''...Take warning...'' Ezekiel 33:2-4

It was great to get to talk to some British guys today. It has been a while..

Anxious

'An anxious heart weighs a man down..' Proverbs 12:25

Favor

'the LORD bestows favor' Psalm 84:11
