seven steps in faith by mother teresa

Slow down,
Make some room,
Open your eyes,
Put great love into the small things,
Do not tire,
Remember – it’s faithfulness, not success,
Leave the rest to Jesus.

cubed sundial

There may be up to 6 dials, but more often 5 e.g. N, S, E, and W, together with a horizontal on the top surface. The sun shines on two or three faces of the cube at once and all the illuminated dials indicate the same time. The dials can now be tilted until the gnomons point toward the celestial pole. A small compass is installed in the pedestal base to help orient the dial. The gnomon is the part of a sundial that casts the shadow. Such multifaceted

 dials have the advantage of receiving light at every hour of the day. They can also be designed to give the time in different time-zones simultaneously.

jpr: Could this become my new hobby???? 

Roman time keeping

The Roman clock, or time of day, was divided into 12 hours (Latin horae) of light and 12 hours of darkness.  Since the length of the sunlight varied with the seasons this also meant that the length of the hour changed - with shorter hours in winter and longer hours in summer. The Romans also understood that the length of daylight depended upon latitude. So it would be in the era of the New Testament.

The first hour = 6 to 7 am
The second hour = 7 to 8 am, etc

jpr: I may make me one these for my  yard!

Emily Lloyd

Once a radiant and glamorous woman who wowed critics with an breathtaking debut in 1987 British film "Wish You Were Here". The last two decades have been less than kind to the English actress due to a long battle with depression and insomnia.

jpr: saw her recently in an 1989 film "In country"....absolutely captivating performance.

PSALM SUNG IN ANCIENT HEBREW

The psalms were intended to be sung. They are sung today.

 Have a listen back into the centuries.
