The image of the day is a brewery plaque. These are found in most British towns and are usually Victorian, sometimes even Georgian.

Arkell’s Brewery plaque
It’s likely the cracking will have been caused by differential thermal expansion and contraction with the iron changing its dimenions rather more than the ceramic glaze.

We're working our way through the gifts of service, often called the APEST gifts. The evangelist article has just dropped. It might not be quite what you expect.

Partying with an evangelist
Think of an evangelist as first and foremost a ‘people person’. They get their energy from being in the crowd. They love to talk, they smile and laugh a lot, they’re fun to be aro…

Are you a prophet? If not , why not? If you believe Jesus and follow him, then you do have some level of prophetic gifting.
See and hear with a prophet
Gratitude demands taking hold of whatever is being offered, unwrapping it, and finding out what it is for and how it works. It also involves actually trying it out, taking it for test runs, express…

@scilla.org.uk I'm making good progress with my next JHM article. it's about the gift of prophet. I did the ground work yesterday and finished the draft today. There are a few more details to sort out, then I hope to proof read and publish it tomorrow. Here's a screenshot to whet your appetite.
A screen shot of a JHM article in preparation. Pop back tomorrow to read it.

There have always been welcoming places like this for travellers, at least since Roman times.

Come on in!
The simplest and cheapest way to travel would have been to walk, and people often did exactly that. For an example look no further than the old story of Dick Whittington.

A low point in Greenland
The photo shows a valley in Greenland, a valley is a low point, but Trump’s arrogant rudeness was another kind of low-point, and his falsifications were low-points as well.

Do you know anyone apostolic? I'm working my way through the people who are gifts to the church - today the apostle. I've tried to capture the essence here.

Travelling with an apostle
We use the word ‘see’ in two very different ways – seeing with our eyes, but also seeing with our understanding. Do you see what I mean? And in that latter sense all believers have ‘seen’ Christ. J…

The news about European troops flying into Greenland to make it more difficult and inconvenient to invade this peaceful nation on the grounds that 'we need it' has left me perplexed and needing to share what I think. So here's my latest JHM post.

Enough is enough
It’s past time to challenge Mr Trump on his outrageous statements of intent. There are so many ways that what he is proposing for Greenland is simply not going to happen. I believe that&#8217…

You see the lights and you might hear the engine or the sound of the tyres on the road surface. But there’s no way you could tell the make and model of the car. The details are hidden.

I put out a family history post in the middle of each month, December's has just dropped and covers September 2025 right back to 1800. Joy and sadness, success and failure, good and bad choices - it's all there.

Great-great-uncle William
It might have been William who requested and obtained the title ‘Royal Nurseries’ This was a forerunner of the later ‘By Appointment to’ designation denoting high status businesses (1800s).
