READING THE HEADLINES

These are the current 'most read' stories on the BBC website:

Shares worldwide continue falling
Legal case against God dismissed
Beach sex sentence 'sets example'
Film breaks usual Vatican secrecy
Sex-on-beach trial Britons guilty

I think it gives an interesting insight into what we find interesting: one story about money, two about sex (although they're both about the same incident) and two about God. A pretty accurate reflection of the human heart I'd say!

My dog Gyp had a little visit to the vet today and is now less of a dog than he was. I'm pretty sure dogs have no interest in money, only a very 'animal' sense of the divine, and now he won't be much interested in sex either! Life is simple for dogs.

As usual, we had a very encouraging two days at Prayer & Fasting. There wasn't much discussion of sex, but we did think about money - praying for our nation as it goes through its current economic crisis. We were also stirred in our faith by stories of churches that have experienced much grace for giving recently. But most of all we thought about God - praying and worshipping and delighting in our great Saviour and King.
