Another year nearly gone and we will be saying, 'where did it all go'?
I think the important question to ask ourselves is, "what did I do with my year'?

I'm not keen on new year resolutions or whether 2010 was a good, bad or indifferent year. For me it was a year of trying to live the christian life, doing the best for my Church, hoping my husband skills are as they should be.

I've laughed, cried, grieved, despaired, rejoiced.....just life!

As a member of the so called baby boomers I become 65 in 2011. It's quite amazing I'm still around when I consider the kind of life I lived in my 20s. Many of my friends felt I would never make 30 with the way I was living. BUT then along came Jesus and offered me real life.

How grateful am I? More than I can say

Have a blessed and successful 2011

Thought I'd go straight in with a new post after my previous rant, even though I think it justified.

It is thought Jesus was born in August or September, but we stole a pagan festival held on 25 December and use it to remember the birth of Christ.

I find it interesting that the Bible does not tell us to to celebrate His birth or to do anything special regarding it.

Maybe it's because the New Testament concentrates on Jesus as a man, giving priority to His ministry and sacrifice on the cross.

However if Jesus was not born of a virgin then our salvation is of little value. We could no longer call Him the sinless, spotless lamb of God

But, Good News, He was born of a virgin, took our sins upon Himself and gave us the opportunity to become children of God.

Now that is GOOD NEWS

It's been a while since I've blogged, so must start doing it again.
So, here goes; Shall it be the snow or not getting the world cup for 2018 or perhaps the cricket in Australia?

I'd like to talk about this countries inability to discern right from wrong, good from bad and to be able to speak forthrightly without fear of being accused of some kind of 'ism'

I'm fed up with weak thinking and speaking just to appease some supposed 'do-gooder' who is unwilling to acknowledge right from wrong.

I was amused looking at the Post Office website today explaining that the reason for having no mail for three days was the weather AND that the Postman's welfare was the most important thing. I wish no harm on our Posties, but I was such a one many years ago and I don't recall anyone worrying about my welfare when I trudged round in the snow.

We are a country that has lost its 'soul' Christianity is a poor second to Islam or even 'wicca' which is now an accepted religion.

The late Mary Whitehouse told a Christian meeting many years ago, "the reason we have no moral compass is your fault, because you have done nothing"
