Bible Verses To Remember.

"Do not be afraid or discouraged, for The Lord is the one who goes before you. He will be with you; He will never fail you nor forsake you."

Deuteronomy 31 v 8

(New Living Translation)

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"Love Will Last Forever"

1 Corinthians 13 v.9

(New Living Translation)

Quote - Bishop T.D. Jakes

"How can you say that God has me exactly where He wants me to be, when I have never felt this lonely, and I've never felt this sad, and I've never felt this depressed. And it is a shameful place, and it is a painful place, and it is a tearful place, and it is a breaking place. But I came to tell you that God's Strength is made perfect in weakness, and when this is all over, God is going to get some glory out of this..."

Debris4spike's Fan Fiction

As I walked out of The Museum of London I asked the guide which road I needed to go on to get to St Pauls ... her answer -

"Straight ahead, St Pauls is on the left hand side of the road, you can't miss it"

We both laughed, as she commented on her her own reply. It's true, the cathedral is slightly unmissable!

Anyway, before I looked at the cathedral itself I walked over to this ruin of
Christchurch Greyfriears was bombed during WWII, but has been turned into a public garden ... a haven of peace in a busy part of London.

From there I walked to see the cathedral itself. Sadly I didn't pay to go in - in 1986, Tim & I had been to a service there to celebrate my school's 450th anniversary, so I have good memories of my last visit.

From here I walked down to The Millenium Bridge, and over the river.

I said when I went to London I would miss seeing James this time - but I did see
The Globe was reconstructed in 1997 not far from where the original had been, the home of Shakespeare's acting.

And, so sadly, time to make my way to Victoria, and thus back to Exeter. It may have been brief, but I had fun on my travels around London.

It was a fun trip - even though Lizzie2 didn't invite me over!

St Pauls is amazingly beautiful. Our churches are never like this. Well, at least, the ones I've seen. We have a huge church close to where we lived a few years back. When it was being built, we thought it was a sports arena. They couldn't put a spiral on top because of a landing strip near by. That's how huge this church is and it's very ugly.

This is the outside of the church:

This is an area inside of it:

James would be thrilled to perform at The Globe. It's amazing how your building have survived the times.

The outside of the Church really looks like a sports arena ... although the inside is better ... but more of a lecture theatre style.

Oh yes, James would love to be in The Globe ... I would have paid to go in then!
