Theology: A Very Sensible Box
Do we trust God and at the same time have many unanswered questions about Him and how He works? Leslie Weatherhead offers us some very sensible advice: Leave those questions in a box marked: “Awaiting Further Light.”
Sensible advice indeed, for “now we see through a glass darkly….” (1 Cor. 13,12)
The late Leslie D Weatherhead C.B.E. M. A. PhD. D. Litt. D. D. was Minister at the City Temple, London. He was President of the Methodist Conference and Hon. Chaplain to Her late Majesty’s Forces .He is the author of many books including “The Christian Agnostic”, where the above advise is recorded.

Our dear Indy. It is my earnest hope she is waiting for us expectantly at the Rainbow Bridge. She passed away this year, 2021.
A message of hope from the Canopy: Learn from the changing seasons
The forest has spoken. This weekend, this leaf, dressed in gentle shades of autumn, drifted down from the forest canopy in the Island Nature Reserve near Port Elizabeth in South Africa. The leaf’s message was clear: “Autumn is here. Winter for all of us is not far off. But remember. After the winter will come the spring and then the warmth of another summer. Learn from me, a humble leaf. Learn the lesson of the seasons. The winter of this Covid will pass too. Have faith in the passage of time. Rest assured. A new day is coming for us all.”
See picture below.
In the darkness before dawn
In the darkness before dawn
The birds begin to sing
With you by my side I can hear
*
In the middle of the winter
Comes promise of the spring
With you by my side I can fly
*
In the depths of my blackness
I see the birth of day
With you by my side I can fly
