LET US PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER..........

HOLIDAYS REALLY BEGIN TODAY, although the School has generally been closed on 24th October -  since then only the Primary and Secondary National Examination candidates have been here taking their respective exams.
This year's Examinations have been done well, and without any major instances of cheating or foul play.    Our School candidates have all been calm and well behaved - most of the whilst also boarding with us during the examination days.
A Weeks duration for the Primary Exams!
AND the RESULTS have not taken long to be released this year!   Great excitement, as usual, everywhere, and OUR school having some 72 candidates, managed to find NINE over the 400 mark, out of five hundred     The majority of the remainder achieving between 300 and 399.    A good result for us, and we have rejoiced.  BELOW is a photo of the NINE top achievers -

AND TODAY the 31 Secondary School Candidates will be finalising their four year course and facing College or University in the New Year.     There is to be a Farewell Luncheon at 1p.m. today and Esther and I, plus Daryl and most of the Secondary School Staff will attend with all the students.
The day is very GREY,  WET, and rather cool.     But spirits are high, and we can say this Form 1V Class has been one of the best we have had. 

ABOVE A PHOTO AFTER THE PARTY at 3p.m.

 I had meant it to be ONLY of the students, plus the Heads of School, Esther and Me

But the photographer called everyone else as well.   Hard to see who is who.
Students are in black blazers or maroon sweaters

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 

THIS IS A RECENT PHOTO of  His Royal Highness, Prince Andrew, Duke of York.      I personally know little about him, either good or bad.
At 59 he has seemed a rather quiet, man on the whole.    NOW suddenly he is aligned  with another  far more notable man, of infamous moral character and occupation.
The Media has jumped on him, and shredded his reputation and standing, whilst apparently enjoying every minute of it.     Well, there seems little doubt that His Grace made a wrong choice of friend, no matter what his real reasons may have been, but for the rest I find little to really make me glad in seeing his unilateral condemnation without any sign of pity, or consideration for how his family will also be affected - reasoning that at least one or two of them could spare him some little family affection.
The photo reportedly reveals a man who has just discovered his world has been overturned.  Perhaps ! ! !
Of course a great deal has fallen upon him.    The worse must be the knowledge that every one, including his own family, seem ready to see him sink in the mire.      No one in sight to pull him out, or offer a hiding place, or shelter, from the social, and bitter scorn and  self-righteousness of all the other sinners that live with him in this sinful world.
Where can he go?  To whom can he find to turn for real advice, companionship, HELP?  I know of ONLY ONE ANSWER TO THIS, but no idea if HE Himself knows of it.  For me the only place for a sinner, sinking into a sea of iniquity, is the CROSS of Christ, on which a Man suffered and died in the place of all others in order to secure the Forgiveness and Cleansing each one of us needs.    The CHRISTIANS in the Christian Church are supposed to also believe this, and that we are ALL sinners.      We all need to be crucified - BUT they also believe that they should  show God's love and compassion to those who sin just as THEY were shown it - and not stand by like the rough self seeking crowd in front of  Pilate, shouting manically and hysterically CRUCIFY HIM!      Truly each one of THEM deserved die MORE than Jesus did  -  and each of US deserve to be crucified as much as any man living today - even as much as a man born a prince.  The Christian at least should not be seeking for his blood but for his Salvation.  - Obadiah v10-15
BUT of course this once Christian England, is out of touch with God and HIS love for them, except, at times,in a purely selfish greed to cover their own mistakes.       SO the Christian finds himself wondering if he is deluded, and the world,with him,thinks he is too.    Poor ANDREW!   Poor everyone.       There is only pain and hurt in men's heart; revenge and retribution.   Mankind, seeks only to cover their own sins, and to avoid helping each out of the destruction sin afflicts them with,
Do we Cry out for Christ to come again ?   No, and if we did, would we all not join the masses and Crucify HIM again?         My prayer for Andrew is that he finds the faith to hide himself in Jesus and to trust himself to Him Who alone can SAVE us from our sin.      He  alone can MEND us, and REPAIR our damage, and RESTORE or life.      And there is no other remedy, no other way, no other place to go for ANY OF US.        GOD loves each one of us, and has no joy in seeing our life in ruin and we facing death  -  Perhaps he allowed Andrew to fall into this agony to bring him to the Cross, and to build in him a NEW life  - because He is willing  to let us suffer now, rather than see us DEAD for eternity in HELL.       Don't believe there is No hell -.READ the BIBLE and believe it.  

  

We must all remember clearly that

GOD LOVES THE SINNER, but hates his sin,

AND we MUST DO THE SAME

we must remember this clearly.
