Duo proves there is life after the exam results
by Vicky Carlin
AS hundreds of stu dents discover the results of GCSE exam inations this morning, two local women are proof that even those with minimal passes can achieve career suc
cess. Miss Amanda Cox (25), of
Waddington, and Miss Catherine Blatchford (26), of Clitheroe, began work as
j office juniors at a Clitheroe solicitors on the same day
in 1988. . Miss Cox left Bowland

T
love them pounds and pounds. This is foolish. We could not weigh
our love in a pair of scales. However, the child understands what we mean, and the word picture has served its
purpose. When our Lord came to tell us about His love and that of our Heavenly Father, and the way of the Kingdom, He knew that we needed pictures and stories to help us understand. In order to impress upon His hearers’ minds the necessity of doing a little extra, in love, and to be prepared to do more than was actually required of them, He said: “Whoever shall compel you to go a mile with him, go with him two.”

Those listening knew what it was to
service in those days to carry a mili tary pack a full mile if demanded. If this happened to them it was usually considered unfortunate, but here Jesus was counselling them to volun teer to go an extra mile. Can you imagine what the soldier
would say if this happened? There would be questions asked, and a won derful opportunity for witness and testimony about the new teaching of a different kind of Rabbi. I t is the little extra that no one else would have thought of that can mean such a lot. The small favours that no one has a right to expect; a bunch of flowers to cheer someone weighed down with grief, or a letter of appre ciation to someone who thought that they were only doing their duty. Our Lord, with great patience, often went on serving the unthankful and the evil, not as a hard and disagree
