Jesus is Lord


When I was at school in the days of pen and ink, the pens we used to write with had a nib on the end, like a fountain pen has. We had inkwells in our desks too, little pots that fitted into holes in the double desk, one for each pupil. The ink monitor, whoever was chosen that day, would carefully fill each pot with ink. When I came to write in my exercise book, or copy book as they were called at one time, I would dip the nib in the ink well and commence to write on the beautiful clean page. Sometimes as soon as the nib touched the paper the ink would splash little speckles all over the page, as though a spider had run across the page. I would try and rub the splashes out only to find to my horror, the paper would wear thin, and sometimes a hole would appear. I used to hurry so I could finish the page and start a new one, only to find more often than not, the same thing would occur. I suppose that's where the saying 'Blotted your copybook' comes from. You know Life's like an exercise book. Sometimes we make mistakes which spoil the lovely clean page. It's no use trying to cover it up because eventually you can see through the holes, like my exercise book at school. Are you tired of blotting the copybook of life? Do you want to turn over a new page? Do you feel you've made a mess and NOW's the time to change? Well you can.

Here's how
