Things went badly wrong this weekend. There possibly wasn't a single cause, and we may have been simply unlucky (for example, at 5 o'clock on Sunday we were all in A&E at the Sick Kids; our son had come off his bike, and we thought that he might have done some damage to his leg). But emotionally, I feel that I'm climbing out of a black hole (which is better than being stuck in it).
I'm reading Isaiah in the mornings, being careful not to assume that God is speaking to me when the words are addressed to Israel (for example). But the messages do seem to become more personal as the book progresses, and surely it's OK to respond to "Hey there! All who are thirsty, come to the water! Are you penniless? Come anyway - buy and eat!"
