Hello!

[GuidedPath]

Hello brothers and sisters,

This looks like an excellent site to share the wonders of Christ and how He is working in our lives.

My real name is Josh, I am from a town in the UK called Chesterfield. We have a church with a 'crooked' spire; we have an interesting legend regarding this. I would be happy to share the story with any of you if you are interested.

I have had a shaky relationship with Jesus and have swayed massively from one extreme to the other, however I have always been pulled back to Jesus; I think He is holding on to my shirt pleading with me to listen to reason.

I chose the username 'GuidedPath' as this is what Jesus is doing for me; He is directing me to the path that I need to take; although sometimes I take a massive detour.

I will be pleased to meet you all over the coming days, months and years.

Ps...forgot to say...I lived the first 34 years of my life in England.
Both in London for 13 years...then in the Hasting area after I was married, until we moved over here to Canada.

Welcome Guided Path,

I greet you from the other side of the globe, in Brisbane, Qld, Australia.

Our max temp predicted for this Saturday is 30C and min overnight of 21C. I'm in the sub-tropics so humidity is high and we've been having quite a bit of heavy rain like this:

I thank the Lord that he brings the rain, 'Then you will be children of your Father who is in heaven. He causes his sun to shine on evil people and good people. He sends rain on those who do right and those who don’t' (Matt 5:45 NIRV).

Thank you Helen for your welcome post.
I like London; there is always stuff to do down there, especially the Winter Wonderland at the end of the year!
I have never been to Canada but I hear it is nice, however I understand you have some snow like us over here.

Thank you for your welcome.

There are actually three reported legends.

1. One of the legends is that a virgin married in the church and the devil twisted it and said he would untwist it when the next virgin was married there.
2. The next is that the devil was sat on the spire and he wrapped his tail around it to hold on causing the famous twist.
3. Lastly, a virgin was married in the church and the church was so surprised that the spire turned around to look at the bride.

The actual reasons can be found on the Wikipedia page here.

Thank you for your welcome!

That is pretty hot! Do me a favour and blow that warm weather over to us as we need some of that here.
Great passage from scripture; we have snow so I count that as we have done right - after all it is frozen rain.

Here in Chesterfield we have some history, however I could say the same of many towns and cities in the UK as we're rich in history.

Hello!

It's wonderful to meet you too.*

*I had to rely on the Urban Dictionary to define the shortened version of that.

P.S. Nice avatar.

I agree, there no point in distorting the facts.
Shorthand is good as long as my trusty friend the Urban Dictionary has it listed; I would be the first to admit I am old fashioned in nature.
I have understood your last post without the requirement of assistance; improvement already.

That is comical. It would be better if there were not so much truth in it. As our friend, @bbyrd009 would say, Yikes!

Not many happy legends I'm afraid. The truth is a little more comforting though.

Amen to that!

Hello, welcome to the forums, hope you enjoy your time here, could you send some of that snow to Melbourne please?

Anyway Jesus bless ya, and continue to lead you and I pray that he will help you develop a closer walk with him. In Jesus name, Amen.

Hello there country music fan.

You can have the snow brother; it seems to be lingering here - Lord, allow snowfall to cover Melbourne; also raise our temperatures to 25 degrees! Amen!

Thank you for your prayer, you're very kind.

GuidedPath,

I wish I could send some of this hot, hot weather over to you on the next Qantas flight from Brisbane, Sydney or Melbourne to London. Sadly it doesn't work that way.

I think you'll have to wait until May-June for it to warm up. That's when I went to your country in 2000 when my son was backpacking around the UK and the rest of Europe. I'm pleased to live in the land Down Under with its heat, rain and drought (especially in the outback). This is how the outback looks now:


Graziers Rosemary and Warwick Champion, in a dry dam, at their property in Longway (near Charleville, W Qld).

Weather forecast is for thunderstorms in that area.

Thank you sharing the photo. I suppose in hotter climates there is an increased chance of thunderstorms.

The temperatures are now rising here, the forecast is saying we should have about 9 degrees today which I am looking forward to. If there is one good think about this country; the snow never lasts that long - the rain however is another story entirely!

You're right; May - August are our hotter months, however I am away in June to Spain so it doesn't bother me too much.
