I must confess that I am worried about how much the government is borrowing. I don’t know if I am being ‘played’ by the tory spin on Brown’s handling of the international crisis, and I freely confess that I am glad I do not need to decide how to handle...

I love Advent. In fact I think it is one of the most important times of the year, and it's a travesty that it is reduced to shopping, baking, card-writing, and little windows that open on disappointingly small bits of chocolate. I also quite like...

It's hard to believe, that Robert Mugabe is still at it, isn't it? We had almost begun to hope that the situation in Zimbabwe was resolved, or at least on it's way to resolution. The road was never going to be easy, but there was a plan and...

I have been wondering how the prophets of old would have written about the credit crunch? Obviously they would only have said what God inspired them to say, but I do wonder. I can 'hear' them saying for example: 'In those days men and women...

Is it only me or is anyone else wondering how come we can find billions of pounds to save a bank but not find a few to save a life? The global economic crisis raises many questions, but I think this is one of the most important.

It is easy for us to be all judgemental, but I do find it difficult to understand how the German Chancellor can say one thing in conference with European leaders one day and then return home the next and do the opposite... ... except that it is just human...

I went caving on Saturday. It was an extraordinary thing; I didn't expect to like it, but I had a chance to go but I had the chance and I do like to try things... The thought of spending a couple of hours in the dark, slithering through narrow gaps...

I'm struggling here - I feel I ought to write a blog about the credit crunch, but I don't understand it. In fact I am sitting here with one of my children on my knee with my brain aching. I do understand, though, that a lot of people are hurting...

We wake this morning to news that Lehman Brothers is filing for bankruptcy and that Merril Lynch has agreed to be taken over by the Bank of America. I am not sure that this will have a massive effect on me, if I am honest, and part of me wishes the media...

OK, so that's not really the news, today, but I bet I am not the only one to have had that thought when I woke up and heard that Andy Murray has won his semi final in the American Open. It is funny how fond we are of Wimbledon despite the fact that...

Things are hotting up (well cooling down really, but you get my drift) at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland. The world's largest particle reactor is due to be go online on Sept 10, just 3 days from now. Actually the switch-on started...

Firstly an apology for the blog silence - a couple of weeks speaking away, a couple of weeks holiday, and a smashed screen have not allowed much internet access - it's amazing how you can survive without the net when you have to! Anyway, I am sure...

How much will some companies pay for product placement in a movie? Well, one Italian movie company couldn't give it away. They weren't even able to show the ultimate user - Jesus - using one of the world's leading global brands, Coke. In the...

An Italian priest has been thwarted after publicising his plans (whch zipped round the world, whether he liked it or not) to hold an online beauty pageant for nuns. And no, I haven't been nipping at the communion wine: it's true. Apparently Father...

Hot on the waving paws of the worshipping cat (prior post) comes the dancing cockatoo: Frosty, the platinum blonde, 20-year-old Bare-Eyed Cockatoo, struts her stuff (see YouTube clip) to the beat of a Christian gospel song on the radio. If only all Christian...
