These charging points for electric cars are beside the railway station in Crawley. A lot of building work is going on, reducing the size of the station car park.
This past week a group of us watched the message “The Holiness of God” by Francis Chan. It was good and I just thought I’d share some random thoughts from it. The first is this; when you face God, and every one of us will face God, you will be terrified. You won’t be able to do anything else except fall flat on your face, I’m not kidding about this. It will be the most intense moment of your life. Some people go around with a chip on their shoulder, they think that when they face God that He’s going to have to answer some pretty tough questions. You couldn’t be more wrong.
Every single person who has faced God has done so terrified for his or her lives. Prophets and even he whom Jesus was closest to (John), those who had lives probably far holier than any of ours, cowered when they saw God. Isaiah says, “It’s all over! I am doomed, for I am a sinful man. I have filthy lips, and I live among a people with filthy lips. Yet I have seen the King, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.” Here was one of God’s own prophets and the moment he faced God he saw how unworthy he was.
You see we like to compare ourselves to each other, we say “My life is far better than theirs” or “Look at what they're doing, I’d never do that! I’m glad I don’t struggle with that.” These may not be your exact words but lets face it, as humans we measure ourselves in human standards. That’s a problem because God is not going to judge us according to human standards, He judges us according to His standards. And when it comes to God we all fall very short. I don’t know what kind of picture you have in your mind of God I promise that it’s too small. If you don’t believe it then read Revelation 4. John can’t even find the words to describe what he sees; it’s far beyond anything we can imagine.
This is a big problem in our society, we like to think the world revolves around us. We like to think that God owes us something because we believe in Him, because we spend a couple hours with Him a week. God doesn’t need you. God doesn’t need me. He doesn’t need our worship, He has millions of angels worshipping Him 24 hours a day shouting “Holy, holy, holy, LORD God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.” He has four creatures; one like a lion, one like a calf, one like a man, and one like an eagle, each with six wings and each covered completely with eyes that shout His praises. These creatures are terrifying and all they do is worship God day and night. He has lightning and thunder coming from His throne and a sea of glass like crystal before Him. One day you will stand in that room, before that King, and He will judge you. What else matters? I wish you could see the burden on my heart; it pains me that so many people don’t live life for that moment. You should want nothing more than to hear the words, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” So many of you don’t get it, you’re still concerned with things of this world and I don’t know how to make you see…
I don’t say this to judge you, I say this because I honestly care about you. I don’t want you to end life consumed with this world, you NEED to be an overcomer! The point is this, God is far more serious about Himself than most of us are and He’s far holier than we could ever imagine. He created you and everything around you and He has every right to judge you however He pleases. We are nothing. Some think that Hell is too harsh of a punishment but maybe, just maybe, we as humans we don’t fully understand justice. We don’t understand just how far we fall from God because we compare ourselves with each other, not Him. We sometimes like to put the attribute of love above everything else, but He is equally love and equally just. Would you expect a just judge to let a guilty person go free? Then why do we expect God to do it for us?
Yet, He loves you enough that He sent His own Son to save you. God doesn’t send you to Hell, you’re already on your way. He offers you a way out. It’s not an easy life but I promise you that it’s worth it.
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.”

Five Points Mall opened in 1978 as North Park Mall. Original anchor tenants were Hills, JCPenney, Meis, and Sears. In 2008 the mall went under renovation. Since the renovation there has been a mass exodus of stores. Sears closed its store in early 2013 and JCPenney closed in early 2014.
Here you can see that through the use of some interesting lift arms and a pneumatic piston, I can change the points quite easily.
There is actually a second piston and set up for the other half of the track that works in tandem, so the train can effectively change tracks regardless of the direction of travel.
First test of the new Climbing Points for accessing the trial workshop track. There would be considerable difficulty in placing a conventional turnout into the driveway crossing at this location.
Until I can build said turnout, this will be the solution to the lack of workshop access. These could also be used anywhere else on the line to a temporary track as well.

A view to the south-southwest of Reykjavik with rain approaching. The building with the round roof in the distance is part of Reykjavik University, and the domestic airport is on the right. Taken from the observation deck of Perlan.

The view of Birmingham City centre from the summit of Barr Beacon, on the edge of Walsall very near the border with Birmingham, in the West Midlands.
Barr Beacon gets its name from the nearby Great Barr and the fact that the hill is historically the site of a beacon where fires were lit in times of impending attack or on celebratory occasions. The site is made up of 60 acres of green belt land managed by Walsall Borough Council and recognised as a site of local importance for nature conservation.
Barr Beacon was formerly owned by the Scott family of Great Barr Hall, following the death of Lady Mildred Scott in 1909, the estate was auctioned off. Birmingham's Lord Mayor made a plea for the site to be secured as a public park. Colonel J. H. Wilkinson of the Staffordshire Volunteer Infantry Brigade responded by purchasing it, then transferring it to a trust. It opened to the public on Easter Monday, 21 April 1919. In 1972, the trusteeship of Barr Beacon passed to Walsall Council. The council now manages Barr Beacon on behalf of the Barr Beacon Trust.
As one of the highest points in the West Midlands, Barr Beacon has panoramic views, visible landmarks include Wrekin, Cannock Chase, the Lickey Hills, Lichfield Cathedral, Aldridge Airport, Birmingham city centre, and at least eleven counties are visible, including Powys in Wales.

View of Isola dei Pescatori from Isola Bella. Maybe there is something more interesting on the left...
Some experimentation combining "scribbler" work by ZeFrank, Mario Klingeman, Mark Knol, and Mr Doob with some mathematically driven geometry and additive color blending of my own.
150225 forming the 1019 Leeds - Heysham Port stands at Morecambe Junction before taking the Heysham branch (to the right) on 28 February 2013.
The driver is setting the route from the groundframe, unlocked by the key collected with the staff from Bare Lane. The indicators normally show continuous yellow to confirm that the points are correctly locked into position, as the point setting is not yet complete it's currently displaying red.
The track in the right hand foreground completed a run round loop for locomotive hauled passenger trains at Morecambe station's platform two and also for nuclear flask trains heading down the branch to Heysham Power station. Since DRS like to have two locomotives on their flask trains they "top and tail" the "Heyshams" and most excursion passenger trains seem to do likewise.
