I haven't posted any photos of the view to Scotland in a while, so here's one from this evening, with wee white houses in clear view - Ballyhalbert (Clydesburn) sand in the foreground, Galloway hills on the horizon.

Mark sing this next friday night
A minister was trying to lead an elderly Scottish woman to
Christ. Try as he might, he could not make her see the meaning
of believing. Immediately on leaving her house he had to
cross a rickety bridge. When he tentatively touched it with
his foot the woman called out, “Can ye nae lippen to the
bridge?”—which, translated into plain English, means, “Can’t you put
your full weight on the bridge?” The minister had just the expression he
needed to show the woman the meaning of believing. He at once said to her,
“Can ye nae lippen to Jesus? Can’t you cast your full weight upon Him? Can’t
you trust Him? Can’t you commit yourself to Him?” The woman grasped the
simple meaning of believing. She trusted the Lord Jesus, and her life was
changed.
