Hi, we had a spell there where we were not posting. Pat is still alive and well though, and his ponderings are still here to provide endless hours of wonder for all who like to read what he has to say.

I have been in the process of moving house, and so, have been very busy, but I am beginning to get things ship shape again, and so, it is with great pleasure I bring you the ramblings of Pat once again from the wilderness.

Kindest Regards,

Gordon.

A way of life - book for hospital, doctor, see your dentist. See some bigwig! Phone his secretary for an appointment - get in the queue. Cann on the Queen or Prime Minister - No Chance. Shave, dress up, maybe get your hair cut. It’s all enough to make you cry. But guess what?

You don’t have to do any of this for an appointment with God, anytime, anyplace. Wear what you like, He is always at home, and His door is always open. His welcome is assured. Just pull up a chair and make yourself at home.
