It is important to realise that at this time of year there are fundamental reasons that Christmas exists – and after listening to all superb 10 hours of ‘A Man Born to Be King’ by Dorothy L Sayers (yes it was a crime after all and a bit of mystery too) my interest was piqued to see what else this great man was teaching the world and lo I came across this Christmas message for everyone from Jesus (Luke 14:26)
If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be my disciple.
So Goodwill to all men and women but not to the family or yourself – makes sense to me – although I guess the Roman leaders needed psychiatric treatment themselves
And from a great writer from this year – M.I.A.
No-one on the corner has swagga like us
Merry Winter Solstice
