Themes of the week:
Plans:
I was asked to translate the previous blog (song) for my overseas readers:
When the rain of dust and soot has passed by
And the smog has gone,
There’ll be in the starless heaven
A rainbow to look upon.
And look so well
‘Cos when you see it,
I’ll tell you a story, my child, a bit
Of a treasure chest shackled with chains so old.
It’s the Rainbow’s Pot of Gold!
Search for it each night along black rivers
Over cliffs of concrete.
If you keep on walking
Ten thousand hours,
Perhaps you’ll get to meet.
But, here, don’t force yourself to bind
Because, my child, it’s this story of old:
If it’s peace and joy you want to find –
Search for the rainbow’s Pot of Gold!
Search for it each night along black rivers
Don’t look back – not one.
Perhaps you’ll find the land of blue saffires
And perhaps a little sun.
Each day I live, I want to be a day to give the best of me
I’m only one, But not alone.My finest day Is yet unknown.
I broke my heart, Fought every gain To taste the sweet.
I face the pain, I rise and fall, Yet through it all This much remains…
I want one moment in time When I’m more than I thought I could be,
… When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away, And the answers are all up to me.
Give me one moment in time When I’m racing with destiny. Then in that one moment of time I will feel I will feel eternity.
(Whitney Houston)
I’m in urgent need of someone to help me on a daily very part-time flexible basis with admin, diary, accounts, liaison, etc etc ……

Sprokie Vir ‘n Stadskind (Koos du Plessis / Theuns Jordaan)
As die reen van stof en roet verby is
en die rook verdwyn
Sal daar in die sterrelose hemel
‘n neonboog verskyn
En kyk maar goed,
want as jy hom vind
vertel ek vir jou ‘n sprokie, my kind
van ‘n skatkis met ou kettings gebind
aan die neonboog se punt
Volg hom elke nag langs swart riviere
oor kranse van beton
As jy aanhou stap
tien duisend ure
sal jy dalk daar kom
Maar hier moet jy jou nimmer laat bind
want so lei die ou, ou sprokie, my kind
As jy geluk en vrede wil vind
soek die neonboog se punt
Volg hom elke nag langs swart riviere
Kyk nie eenmaal om
Dalk vind jy die land van blou safiere
En dalk ‘n brokkie son
My very loose English translation:
STORY OF A CITY CHILD
When the rain of dust and soot has passed by
And the smog has gone,
There’ll be in the starless heavens
A rainbow to look upon.
And look so well
‘Cos when you see it,
I’ll tell you a story, my child, a bit
Of a treasure chest shackled with chains so old.
It’s the Rainbow’s Pot of Gold!
Search for it each night along black rivers
Over cliffs of concrete.
If you keep on walking
Ten thousand hours,
Perhaps you’ll get to meet.
But, here, don’t force yourself to bind
Because, my child, it’s this story of old:
If it’s peace and joy you want to find –
Search for the rainbow’s Pot of Gold!
Search for it each night along black rivers
Don’t look back – not one.
Perhaps you’ll find the land of blue saffires
And perhaps a little sun.
What makes the world go round? Is it the sun, the solar system, the movements of planets, the stars that are millions of light-years away, or something else, something maybe that is even beyond all that? Can it be that the idea we have always held about God has been inadequate and that we need to expand it because our God has been too small for our idea of the world? And why is the system we live in, (seemingly the only one that supports human life), so favourable to human beings? Why does the air we breathe have the right amount of oxygen, and the earth produce pleasant foods? Why does the revolving of the seasons and the fact of rain and rivers provide us with water and an ecological system that sustains our existence? Why do our bodies have a tendency to heal after illness?
The ancient Hebrew poets didn’t ask all these questions of course. They had a simple all-purpose answer. “God’s constant love – his grace – fills the earth”. It was God’s love that made the world go round and that favoured human existence, survival and improvement. Whilst there were negative forces that threatened and endangered life, they were always, eventually overcome through the power and love and reliability of God.
God’s constant love still fills the earth. We may have discovered scientific categories with which to classify and describe it all, but he is still in it and he still sustains it. And it still “makes the world go round”, providing us with all the structures that support human life. And Christ is still the fullness and embodiment of that constant love we normally call grace.
