My partner Andy (aka Android) has been a legend in these changing times, making us lovely meals, tending to his allotment and generally looking after me and our five furry friends. We have our ups and downs like any long term couple and I feel so grateful for the sense of groundedness that he brings to my life.

Real Deal

I live with an amazing man

who always does the best he can

So full of trust, so full of care

His acts of kindness everywhere

The meals he cooks, the seeds he sows

He builds us up, he helps us grow

When something breaks, he’s there to mend

He’s loyalty, he’s my best friend

Sometimes we are like chalk and cheese

I want full on and he wants ease

but we have been through such a lot

I’m grateful for the love we’ve got

The miles walked, the beaches…

Spirit of Truth,
come protect me
to satan lies . . .
let me not agree.

For he skews,
Your every Word
till Your Gospel
is so blurred.

Spirit of Truth,
Jesus incarnate
help me to You
the path navigate.

For the way is wide,
the crowd is deep
filling up fast
with Your lost sheep.

Spirit of Truth,
never leave me
lest from satin’s lies . . .
I too can’t flee!

John 16:13

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth,
is come, he will guide you into all truth:
for he shall not speak of himself;
but whatsoever he shall hear,
that shall he speak: and he will
shew you things to come.

In the mist of dreams the touch of your skin is tinder igniting a flare becoming a flame. Your eyes seek out the savage in me.  Here we are still lovers  and like starving animals  we devour  each other with weak bites never completely consuming  one another. 

National Geographic

And you don’t always know
Where the path will lead
But you keep walking…
And sometimes the journey,
Enchants your heart.

Through all of life’s challenges,
times of means and of lean
on my Lord and Savior . . .
I have continued to lean.

For He has not forsaken,
nor left me on my own
He has always given me
access to His holy throne.

Through all of life’s trials,
when I called out His name
to my defense and rescue
He always faithfully came.

In His mighty hand He kept,
me safe from the fiery tests
always having for me
His good and honest best.

Through life’s many troubles,
on my Lord and Savior I’ve clung
trusting Him for all things . . .
no matter what life at me flung!

Psalm 46:1

God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
