Hi there folks. I unfortunately couldn't go to church as we were snowed in. My sons were not as disappointed as me. There is not snow for them to play in every year.
As I am typing this I can hear the sound of people out in the road shovelling snow. Shall we hope there is not more snow overnight so they can drive to work. I wont hope for that. My hope is for something greater. When will more people come to realise that we are meant to work to live and not the other way round. We have to stop being continually on the go and never arrive. Arrive where? At a place where we can realise that we are all one. Not in competition with each other, but for each other. We must look at each other as if we are looking in a mirror and if we don't like what we see, then ask ourselves why. What separates us from each other, stopping us working as one. Being one!
I didn't have to go to church today to say we are part of one body. That is intrinsic to my continual internal mantra. Peace and love to all of us. We are wonderful and yet destructive. Happy and sad.
We just are.
Your Brother Peter.

Sunny Saturday and I am feeliing fine. Here`s a recent work of mine.
Good day and those of you that are in a warm climate, oh how I envy you. Above is one of my recent works, which was done in a style which I endevored to have it appear like it may have been done centuries ago. Dont ask me why. Actually I was going to say, `because I dont know.` Yet it was done to see if I was able to achieve the affect I wanted to.
Maybe I will be able to write an evening post if my sons dont hog the computer, but for now I must drive and pick one up, as the other one is already here. ttfn Peter. Ps. have a good weekend.

EVENING POST: I am breaking free. Getting out of rut through art.
I am getting wid d program and going wid t flow. Got me head down and is working hard geezer. Good grief. please lets not go down this awful slang lane to the mixed up manor.
How about I share with you some verse from a proper writer. Blake.
"We behold
Where Death eternal is put off eternally. O Lamb
Assume the dark satanic body in the Virgins`s womb!
O Lamb divine! it cannot thee annoy! O pitying One,
Thy pity is from the foundation of the world, and thy Redemption Begins already in Eternity."
And now for something completly different. Or is it!
Maybe
Okay how about a quote from funny Christian man, Milton Jones.
Salvation
Salvation is like being returned to
factory settings. But you have to
admit there is a factory, and that
there could be some settings.
An
Announcement
Would the owner of the
Ferrari number plate
CSG 3P71
please sell your car and
give the money to the poor
Lastly, I am doing the intercessions at All Saints church on Sunday and am not sure if I shall just be reading those printed on the TESTIMONY, or if God will inspire me to add something.
Okey dokey. This is me signing off this evening post. Be well my brothers and sisters. Know that you are loved. Peter G Kimble
FISH ON FRIDAY
Good day my brothers and sisters. To follow on from yesterday, where in my art therapy session I talked about my drinking and acknowledged having an addiction. So yesterday I didn't have a drink and that was good. I know from previous times, that when I go a few days or a week or two without drink, I start to get a lot more positive and creative. So then comes the guilt , that I dont deserve to achieve great things. So as its me who has been holding my life back, its also been me who has been going forward. The art therapy sessions, which thanks to my sister for finding Kate the therapist, have been funded out of my own pocket. These I have been going to more frequently the last couple of months. Also I started having some one and a half hour sessions. Now at a cost of £40 per hour and me being on income support, this ought to be one demonstration of my commitment to change for the better.
Its an holistic thing though. Like when I go over the park with Buster and almost everyday pick up a bag or two of litter. (a little differance for the good, is better than a little difference for the worse and believe me when I tell you there were past times I was worse for wear.) We can make a difference in this world, for good or for bad and I am fighting the good fight! Not alone though. Using humble service and prayer in denial of ego, this servant with others alongside, becomes a better soul.
Daily Lights morning reading
Be strong and work: for I am with you, saith the lord of hosts. HAG. 2:4.
I am the vine, ye are the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit. For without me ye can do nothing. - I can do all thins through Christ which strengtheneth me - strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. - The joy of the Lord is your strength.
Thus said the Lord of hosts, let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets. - Strengthen ye the week hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are fearful heart, Be strong, fear not. - The Lord looked upon him, and said, go in this thy might.
If God be for us, who can be against us? - Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not.
Let us not weary in well doing: For in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. - Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
If I receive the photos of my work at Kates today, then I will edit this post and put some on.
"The work of the Church in the world," says Patmore, " is not to teach the mysteries of life, so much as to persuade the soul to that arduous degree of purity at which God Himself becomes her teacher. The work of the Church ends when the knowledge of God begins." Thus in spite of persistent efforts to the contrary, there will always be an inner and an outer Church: the inner Church of the mystics who know, the outer speaking - upon the magical plane, only knows about. The New Testament is not without its reminders that this was bound to be the case.*
* See, amongst other passages, Matt. xiii. 11, 1 Cor. ii. 6 iii, 1
Let not steadfast Love and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart. Take care and love one another. Your brother Peter

Had a problem putting text where its meant to be composed!
Peace and love to all beings.
Okay now. Right; the little picture is of trees,(in earlier blog) which was taken at night without flash. I wanted to show how in a certain darkness one can just about make out the shape of some things. I spent an hour and a half at the art therapists today and took some pictures of some more of my work, but used my sisters camera - as mine is being repaired - unfortunately on arriving back at the flat she couldn't find the lead.
Its a bit unfortunate as I wanted to share my recent work with you, which is so colourful and positive.
Never mind. My late wife Tracy God bless her, used to say the following; Patience is a virtue, virtue is a grace and grace is a little girl with a dirty face!
Oh yes. The big thing that I came up with at the art therapist was that my use of alcohol to self medicate is very destructive. Also it could be dangerous for others, as I dont forgive people so easily when I have had a drink and I recall that they have swindled me! Nuff said about that. I came to the conclusion that I needed help to quit drinking completely and am going to go to AA meetings. Do you see how I just kind of slipped this paragraph in there like a little aside? So, watch this space.
Anyway, back to the art, which I finished off today. Its a triptych and with some good fortune they will be on a blog in a day or two. To say that I am happy with them is an understatement. I believe the images will make good postcards, cards, and posters. You can decide what you think when you see them. The individual pieces (peace`s) are called `That's a nice day`,`The calm before the storm` and `The storm`.
ttfn, Peter
