This is the first of three posts that briefly examine each of the words in the title to Watchman Nee's book. Matt's Seat Near the south-east corner of the Swan Pool on Lake Wendouree you will find a park bench with an inscription, "Matt's Seat" In loving memory of Matt Jamieson, 22.12.66 - 02.03.05, Always in our hearts...Erin, Jai, Flynn.
