When we drove to Mildura last Friday I was taken by these fields of Canola outside the town of Warracknabeal. I’m no expert, but they looked like a great crop to me.

Saw these festive fruit mince tarts last Saturday. That’s Christmas food in stock during the last week in August.

East/West, from Paul Zach, a reflection on Psalm 103.
Just the thing for Sunday songs on a Tuesday evening.
The lyrics:
1.
Bless the Lord O my soul
All that is within me bless His name
He’s forgives all our sin
He is slow to anger, full of grace
Refrain.
As high as the heavens are up above
So is the greatness of his love
As far as the east is from the west
He removes our sin from us
Far as the east is from the west
Far as the east is from the west
2.
For the lord knows our frame
Short our days from dust to dust we fade
But His love will remain
Merciful to those who fear his name
Refrain.
Bridge.
The steadfast love of the Lord
From everlasting to everlasting
(x 4)
Refrain.
Tag.
Far as the east is from the west
Far as the east is from the west
