A painting on the wall
Ok I was thinking the other day about my time in Wolverhampton.
I remember one day when in the Chaplaincy building speak with the chaplain Rev Geoffrey Wynne I commented on the painting which hung on the wall at the front of the small meeting hall in the building. I said something like “that’s one of those all creeds are the same nicely, nicely painting to show diversity in the University.” I was quickly rebuked by the Chaplain.
Let me describe this painting it was on a circular canvas. It was all the colours of the rainbow coming out from the centre. Like light shooting out from a prism.
The Chaplain informed me that he felt it was the most wonderful image of the gospel. I was puzzled at this reply he said the painting name was the light of the world. (Jesus was called the light of the world in the bible) don’t you see like the gospel the rays of light shooting out all around touching lives. “But look again at that painting Matthew,” Geoffrey advised “do the rays of colour just go out or do they draw u in?” I looked again and I say the painting in a ne way I understood how it showed the gospel as it drew u into the centre and at that centre was Jesus and his Gospel. The Gospel of Jesus Christ that shoots out and touches lives and draws you into the story of an amazing Savour.
Peace and blessing

Life’s roundabout
i’m back at work for stream and i left uni.
yeah thats about it. I’ll talk later about the path i’ve had to walk and the journey i have made over the past few months. once i make total sense of it i nearly have but it’s been amazing.
I’m back where i start 2 years ago i think i had a trip on life’s roundabout and missed my exit.
if love and life were simple..
there would be no need for books and films about life and love, romantic films would be really boring. What would we sing about and life wouldn’t be as interesting if everything was easy and simple.
If we had what we want we wouldn’t enjoy it but when you long for something or someone and after a time of hard work to get where you want to be in life then you realise how much it means to you and you enjoy that moment and you hold on to it as you never what to let it go. As you know how much it cost you to get there.
I pray that I can realise those moments in life when you see God’s amazing master plan for your life and praise God for those moments but in the case of love Leonard Cohen was on to something “love is a cold and broken Hallelujah”
peace
