Time in the Library chasing a couple of my favourite poets and browsing books that are unaffordable but because of the library, accessible. The picture is from a window desk on Floor 4
The gift of a handwritten book of prayers, written by several neat longhand writers over two generations, and used as prayers of blessing at the Lord's Supper. The time frame spans around 80 years. There's a snapshot of Baptist spirituality at the Communion Table waiting to be developed from a close reading of these prayers; some of which I heard being used in the 1980's.
A complete surprise delivery of a small hamper containing fine food from someone who sent it as "a tiny blessing" after, and again I quote, " a quite amazing sermon on Sunday" 
That hasn't happened before! 
That hasn't happened before! And a book delivered, recommended by a friend who knows about and exemplifies such things, and especially things about music, theology, poetry and art, and how all of these together help us grow in our humanity and spirituality. Jeremy Begbie, Resounding Truth. Christian Wisdom in the World of Music. (Grand rapids: Baker, 2007)
Not a bad few hours of life Jim!
