Blagging from the great outdoors...

Okay, well its only from my back garden, but it FEELS the great outdoors!! See? The only bad news is, that so far theirs been no miracle. I have thus far has two giant killer bumble bees dive bomb me, and I swear if a miracle is going to happen it will be during such an onslaught from buzzing bumbles, and likely leap out of my wheelchair and jump up and down, but so far, no go.

I am sat out here, and have been the last few hours, and have started to re-read Lion of the covenant, which is a biography (one of the better ones I believe) of Richard Cameron, whose name the cameroonians took. But while reading this book, the same as on occassion when reading other books of similar ilk, such as Foxes Book of martyrs or any book really with historical accounts of martrys. It occurred to me that many of these martyrs birthd dates are never known. Records do not exist to either confirm or deny their birth. In some cases, in those days, people lived, yet because their birth and subsequent death were never recorded, and there lives of no particular note, there is no record of them even having existed! But as for the birth day thing, it seems quite fitting in a way, since so many of these saints of God lost their lives for Christ's cause and crown, that like the name they defended, our blessed Saviour, who is also of unknown birthdate. |
