Harbor


Job 12:1, 13:3-17, 21-27
Psalms 26, 28
Acts 12:1-17
John 8:33-47


Psalm 28

A safe place to keep one's boat. What do I keep in safety?

A place to sail from and a place to come back to. Where is my home base?

There are many harbors in Pembrokeshire.

Solva

A natural harbor favored by the Vikings. The bend hides the village from the ocean and therefore from invaders looking for easy plunder. The steep cliffs reminded the Vikings of the fjords of their homeland.


Tenby

In the days before everybody had a car and the Severn Bridge you could sail by ferry from Tenby to Ilfracombe. Great Aunt Olive had a daughter who lived in Ilfracombe. She and Uncle Hedley would go to Ilfracombe from Bolsover and then come to visit Grandma and Grandpa, who was Auntie Olive's brother.
