Chair, The friends of Briantspuddle post office and village shop
Currently we are able to meet for our Sunday morning services, although they are
also shown live on you tube. Our Youth meeting and Bible study are held via
zoom, with others joining us, a number of whom live too far away to ever be able
to join us in person. God has brought good out of the current situation, via
modern technology.

Do you ever look around you and think what a wonderful world this is, the vastness
of the sky, the warmth of the sun, the moon and stars that shine at night, the
myriads of different flowers, grasses , vegetables, and the thousands of insects,
(including spiders), and multitudes of different animals. God is an amazing
Creator.
Do you ever think that you are one of the most wonderful things that God has
made? The way that our bodies work is one of God’s miracles that we seldom
think about – unless something goes wrong!
I recently read an article about how amazing our feet are, and their incredible
complexity.
Over the next six years, the feet of someone with normal mobility will carry them
the same distance as a walk around the world. Every day you take about 30,000
steps, which I find hard to believe, maybe I need to wear a pedometer and find
out! There are 206 bones in your body, and a quarter of these are in your feet.
Each foot contains 26 bones, linked through 33 joints and lashed together with
ligaments.

For a split second during each step, the full weight of the body rests on the ball of
the foot, which gives it quite a jolt. Even greater jolts are given to your feet if you
run. You stand on gently curved arches ... natural bridges that can support
several hundred times their own weight. You keep your balance because your
weight is distributed with mathematical exactness. Each arch contains five
metatarsal bones which are connected to the toe bones, and carry their share of
your weight.
