## Resource

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 28th of July, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Deuteronomy 27:2-3: ”…that you shall set up for yourselves large stones, and whitewash them with lime.

She can plant anything, and it seems to grow. When we arrived, she planted some beautiful plane trees and when I walk out the door of my little prayer chapel, at my house, I look up and I see a tree that has a circumference of about 3 metres and it stretches up to the heavens.
