The One who made

The One who made the heavens above
Is Lord of you and Lord of me
To him we owe unfeigning love
For he’s the One who set us free

He set us free from Satan’s power
He set us free from sin and guilt
He set us free in that dark hour
When was his blood for sinners spilt.

For sinners gave he up his life
For sinners he to die had come
For sinners fought he in the strife
To call poor sinners to his home

The call is not to one but all
Who will surrender to the same
Not righteous to repentance call
But sinners to his lovely name

The name he has is Lord of Lords
Not just of heaven and all above
The earth and all that it affords
Are his, redeemèd by his love.

The One who made the heavens and earth
Is Lord of you and Lord of me
We praise him now to show his worth
And shall for all eternity.

Too much colour

It was the reference to a woman of colour that prompted Coco to speak yet again on this matter, Coco was going to remain silent, having spoken before but the reference shows nothing has changed . Coco noticed the article is still fairly close to the top even today; it had not gone away.

The new normal

Let us eat….

It has been overshadowed in the last few days by the passing of a great man. The Duke is rightly to be remembered and his life celebrated for all the good he has done and in the idiosyncrasies that he displayed. His death reminds us that life does not remain the same; time moves on; until now in recent days, and I suppose that it shall return, there had been much talk in these parts about what the new normal will look like. I don’t know what you hear elsewhere, but what we hear doesn’t sound to me very much unlike the old.

Offences

Offences, which do not like a joke – an open letter

Have you heard the one about the Yorkshireman, the Cornishman and the man of Kent? It doesn’t quite have the ring about it as an opening line as ‘Have you heard the one about the Irishman, the Scotsman and the Englishman?’ But if Coco used the latter, Coco would get away with the rest of it in an English public house, providing none of the English liberal elite were present, and might regret the long, but deserved, stay in hospital if Coco tried it in Clonmel. What the reaction would be in Aberdeen is as clear as whether Schrödinger’s cat is alive or dead.

The day of reckoning

The day of reckoning is nigh!

On the day that new opportunities arise for some, this is the day of reckoning for many others. There are but a few hours left to complete your reckoning to HMRC, have you done so? Or are you exempt? If you must still do so, and are not yet ready, do not let Coco delay you any longer.

How to use a cane

A tautologous repetition of conceptual ideas will not produce the making of a taxonomic classification of factual data items however well clothed with an investment in a garb of reasonable logic, but it may provide a cane with which to rod those with whom your tolerance will have nothing to do.
