What an intolerant bigot! A hate crime, surely?

    Yes but they're allowed hate crimes - it's only us who can't.

    It truly does seem that way James. Imagine the furore if the boot was on the other foot, we'd never hear the last of it.

    You can rationalize nonsense hate crime legislation; all you want. It would have more merit; if you picked another law; particularly one that did not embrace all of your postmodern absurdity.

    This Parncutt sounds an odd one Steve, seems he wants a lot of people topped.

    At least this time, the administration is doing something about him.

    They've forced him to apologise and have removed his offensive posts, but is there anything else they are doing?

    Sounds like the Queen of Hearts in in Alice's Wonderland -- first the sentence, then the verdict, and we'll think up an accusation later.

The Upper Rooms

We often think of the 'upper room' as being the place where Jesus and the Disciples held the Last Supper but the Bible has many more 'upper rooms'.

Sound familiar?

Watching the BBC interview of Adele by Graham Norton tonight and Adele sang one of the new tracks off her forthcoming album. The track was called A Million Years Ago. Listening to it reminded me of a different song by someone else. You know where you almost recognise a tune but get lost with the words, yet it's the words which are the key! Eventually it came to me, El Shaddai by Michael Card, famously sung by Amy Grant. It's a song that I occasionally play during worship. Have a listen. What do you think?

Distant Pics of St Michael's Abbey

Seems that every Saturday when I take Charlie for a walk we stop and look at the sheep, and St Michael's Abbey at Farnborough. Well I say 'we' but I really mean me. Charlie is far too busy rooting round in the undergrowth for something to eat. Met a man who was working on the boundary fence from the inside. He was repairing a 'doorway' that had been cut in the mesh fence. Was probably going to be used to enable something of a reasonable size to be pilfered from somewhere in the monastery grounds, or even a sheep. Pray for the monastery, Abbey, those who have their vocation there and those who labour in support. And also pray for those who vandalise and steal from this wonderful place. The guided tours they do on a Friday are worth it as well and is also an opportunity for them to be supported. Monastery with crooked cross and dome of the Abbey Baa! Someone's been at it with the filters again
