A Hobby Horse

Sirach 1:1-10,18-27


18 The fear of the Lord is the crown of wisdom,
   making peace and perfect health to flourish.* 
19 She rained down knowledge and discerning comprehension,
   and she heightened the glory of those who held her fast. 
20 To fear the Lord is the root of wisdom,
   and her branches are long life.* 

Today I am going to ride my bike, not my hobby horse, to the station and take public transport to my meeting. I shall enjoy the ride alongside the peaceful waters of the canal. There will be geese and ducks sunning themselves and moorhens gently bobbing along until I arrive. meanwhile I shall marvel at the beauty of the world that our Lord has created and tell him so. That is the hobby horse.
