I mentioned last time on Lindsay and Lilian's Blog watching the tight rope walker outside the cafe. We all sat entranced watching her and knowing we could never do it ourselves. Even if I could manage a few steps my walk would be filled with the fear of falling and I would lose the exhilaration that comes from walking fearlessly along a rope strung above the traffic.
It's a metaphor of our walk with God, isn't it? Legalism, the fear of falling out of God's favour, can rob us of the exhiliration and joy of walking free with the Lord. Psalm 19:32 says, "I run in the path of your commands for you have set my heart free."

You are obviously having a great time, I thought it might be a metaphor for the tightrope an irish baptist pastor has to walk stretched out between the deacons and the membership - or maybe no such tightrope exists in Carrick!!
'resist the deacons and they will fly at you' appologies to James (Ch4 vs7).
God bless and keep blogging.
