Well, it's now 2021! My New Year's Resolution is to be more diligent about keeping a journal - can't find a notebook I like - even though there are literally millions to choose from - so I thought I might as well use the old blog.
Seems like there has been a lot of stuff going on in the few years since last I was here -
Brexit has finally happened -
I've lost count of the number of elections and Prime Ministers we have had in the UK. And now we have Boris. The man who found fame on HIGNFY.
Donald Trump did a thing. Least said soonest mended as they say.
Racial tensions exploded all over the place - mainly in the US and we saw the rise of the BLM movement with many protests and people 'taking the knee' to show solidarity among other things.
We are in the midst of a Global Pandemic which has, in turn, led to the onset of 'unprecedented times', lots of 'lockdowns', conspiracy theories by the gazzilllion - (or so it seems), panic buying and a shortage of loo roll as well as much angst about the damage being done to all the kids being home-schooled by their incompetent parents.
If you know me at all, or have read any of my previous posts, you may well surmise that I have some pretty strong opinions about the aforementioned events (affairs? as in current?). I do.
You will probably be relieved to hear that, at present, I'm not going to bore you with those opinions Dear Reader - there are quite enough of those going around and I'm quite sure I don't have anything more worthwhile to contribute. Of course I reserve the right to change my mind!
So what are the subjects I might be talking about?
Bible/Theology/Faith
My new puppy!!!
Before his haircut - And after!!
More talk and photos, (too many probably), will obviously follow!
My fabulous new church currently running excellent hybrid services due to the aforementioned 'unprecedented times'.
Litter and my plans to deal with it should I achieve World Domination. Due to years of austerity and the 'unprecedented times' we are living through local councils don't have the money to deal withthe ridiculous amount of litter the Great British Public leaves everywhere. It seems that people don't care and no longer have any pride or respect for themselves or their communities - too busy looking at their phones and blaming 'somebody' who needs to 'do something about it'. Thankfully in my city there are a team of volunteers called Clean Champions who do what they can, when they can, where they can. Every little helps. The premise being - it's not my litter, but it is my home.
Finally, possibly, current events, mental health, the odd book review, ethics, fake news and conspiracy theories, counter cultural living and the Christian. This includes stuff like the Pro-Life movement; Feminism (did you know there was a fourth wave? Me neither); Gender and Identity and whether or not we really have free speech. In short any subject that takes my fancy!
So there you have it Dear Reader. I'm back. I'm determined to get the stuff rambling around in my brain out of it in the hope I can make sense of it! Hope you're having a great day and that you know Jesus as your own and personal Saviour - where are YOU spending eternity? You can ask if you'd like to know where I'm going to be.
