Surprised by grace


Surprised by grace, originally uploaded by Dick Davies.

The Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides is pretty remote, but then drive out of town for an hour mostly down a single track road, drive through the gate at the end of the road and park at Mealsta Beach (White sand, azure sea) where there was once a village (before the clearances). I wandered off up a rise with a cairn on it, and then I found in the ground this celtic cross. In a place which considers itself both celtic and christian, a celtic cross is almost unheard of.

It's really only now it sinks in how strange it was to find a celtic cross in such a place.

But it does reflect something about how God seems to be. Gracious, unpredictable...
