Take a step back
Jo, Hudson, Lucy Tim and I went to the G8 protest rally the other weekend. It was good to be reminding the politicians of their promises.
During the worship event that preceded the march, a guy led a prayer time from the front. He had a good idea, but I don't think he really thought how that good idea might come across (well I hope he hadn't realised). He split the Lord's prayer in to eight sections, and for each of the sections he put up a face of one of the G8 leaders. When he got to, "forgive us ours sins as we forgive those who sin against us" up went President Putins surly face, then for "Deliver us from evil" up pops President Bush. Finally "For yours is the kingdom, the power and the Glory, for ever and ever" our very own Priminster Blair.
Seriously, take a step back.
Sinner, evil one, King. Which ones which?

I was just gutted that the Honorable Helen Clark, primeminister of the beautiful New Zealand Islands of the South Pacific didn't get a mention... Bring on the G9...
ps what does the 'G' actually stand for? (I'm going to regret asking that question aren't I.

I hear from your sister in law ('s blog) that you also do kiting.
Will bring mine along to the park too.
Hope the holidays are nice.

It reminds me of Bill Bailey's 'Scale of Evil' in his Part Troll show - while he plays the keyboard the faces of various evil people appear behind him depending on the note he is playing. However, in Bill Bailey's case he also counts Chris De Burgh as part of the 'Scale of Evil'.
