blessed are the poor in spirit,

for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven

rather taken with giant's causeway.  clearly someone knew what he/she was doing slotting together thousands of hexagonal rock pegs across Irish sea.  blurb for visitors tried to convince that it was lava formation but seems to be much evidence for very large Celtic builder. 

builder also central to minister Jim's talk at wedding of Davo and Christine- reason for being in Northern Ireland.  bob the builder in fact.  Davo given bob's annual - full of tips on fixing things, essential for move into new marriage flat and maintaining marital bliss.

AK not good at bob stuff.  attempts at fixing not happy, pictures not straight, wobbling chairs etc; blame it on not having symmetrical jaw (if face not in line what hope is there for fixing?) 

met builder in Red Sky Cafe yesterday, between jobs due to recession.  no fixing/building needed. 

very bad week for work on many counts; thousands of men, women, families told no more making or fixing.  LDV vans, Vauxhall cars, C&G bank, young people leaving college.    

know that God the Father put work in our dna like His, rule the earth and subdue it He said.  what happens when there is no ruling or subduing, or even fixing to be done?  painful, attacking self belief, hope.  poor in spirit, Jesus kind of people.  church must be shelter.

time to thank living G for job.   sorry for not valuing gift of work as much as should.  sorry for not asking Him for help when feeling stretched.  sorry for not realising am so much better off than many. 

Cafe chalkboard arriving today.  feel tempted, preparing toolkit....decide best to leave to Luke the fixer.  relief to turn work attention to school assembly - subject today "using time responsibly". yes.
