continuing with Mark chapter 2 we read about how Jesus calls Levi to follow Him and then is part of a very much frowned-upon party gathering... these are the thoughts i had on it... to see the next passage looking at the letter of the law against the spirit of the law check this out
well technically 'friend of vandals' as it was his friends who broke open the roof so they could get their paralysed buddy to Jesus but see what i take from this story that can be found in Mark 2.1-13
my nickname 'FISH' stands for Faithful In Serving God... the main focus of my blog is to hopefully help point people towards an incredibly loving Creator God who desires to be in relationship with them and to let people know that there is a Life To The Full that we are invited to live... these pictures - taken from a camping worship trip in Namibia called Namrock - give some glimpses of the [...]
so this is the last of the ten ways to Love and it might be good to mention again that i got these on a list and just expounded on them - this was originally number 4 but i bumped it to the end, not because it is any less important but because the others were more relevant to everyone whereas this one is specific to people of faith...

so from time to time i have started googling the phrase "fun silly pictures of strange weird" just because it seemed like the right thing to do to give a bit of the different flavour to Irresistibly Fish and so far it has done that... first there was 'obey this sign' sign and smoking chicken fish and then there was bacon cat and toilet mug and what does week three hold? well take a look [...]
when i saw the theme for this week's challenge my immediate thought was this picture of my youngest sister Dawn [one of my most favourite people in the world] hanging out with some kids in Umtata [South Africa] on this missions trip we did and the idea of bringing renewal through the simple act of love and friendship and touch and story-telling... let the little children come unto me... the second one that [...]
