Man-as a friend
Man is made to be a friend, and apt for friendly offices. He that is not friendly is not worthy to have a friend, and he that hath a friend doth not show himself friendly, is not worthy to be accounted a man. Friendship is a kind of life, without which there is no comfort of a manslife. Christian friendship ties such a knot that great Alexander cannot cut. Summer friends I value not, but winter friends are worth their weight in gold; and who can deny such anything, especially in these days, wherein real, faithful, constant friends are so rare to be found. there are some that are real friends, faithful friends, active friends, winter friends, bosom friends, fast friends; and for their sakes, especially those among them that have been long, very long under the smarting rod, and in the fiery furnace, and that have been often poured from vessel to vessel, have. Thomas Brooks Eipistle dedicatory to the Mute Christian under the smarting rod.]
Puritannical Update
I’ve updated my puritanical website a little more. Though its an ever growing and evolving project. But the lastest edition is the next weeks worth of John Calvin’s devotions, from Heart Aflame and Day by Day, running on alternate days. The two together will be put up and run over a two year period (DV) and then they will be l eft up there. But though theres only a weeks worth there at present, its current dates, so more will be added to keep it up to date.

I am hoping (DV) to be able to start to get some sermons up on it this week that are not available to my knowledge at least on other similar thematic sites.
About
Nothing much to tell. I’m walking a single solitary pilgrims walk, in England, that is not an easy one. I am a Calvinistic Covenanter Christian, My Autonomic Nervous system is failing slowly, which has led to severe disability, with an ultra rare disease than medics don’t even understand, often misdiagnose.and will no doubt kill me at some point. But, I trust the Lord to get me where I’m going. All glory to HIM.
The symptomology listed on the link, most porphyrics will only have most of those symptoms if in an acute attack. A few of us, with the ongoing, smouldering symptoms, that never go away, have most if not all of the symptom list, even when not in an acute attack, and are persistent and constant. Anyone who has ever been in the psychiactric system, diagnosed as this or that, even if physically well, should consider this illness could be responsible. King George III, the most famous porphyric, his sole symptom was “insanity.” Its so rare in part, because it’s massively under-diagnosed. But in making this illness known, when it struck me physically a few years ago, God vindicated me from every mis-diagnoses and bersmirchment upon me medically that has ever been made, and has made them all null and void.
