I was shocked, !
"Why, David?" I hear you ask.
Well, I bet you've heard the song Amazing Grace.
And I bet you've sung it a few times.
But do you know what sort of tradesman penned those immortal words?
You'll be shocked...
Nope, not a politician. Worse than that.
He was a Slave Trader.
But don't worry, his life changed and the bad guy turned good in the end.
Just like how all the good movies end.
I wrote a bit about that guy in my latest blog post, What is Grace?
I also asked 4 different people with 4 different interests to define grace.
- A bird watcher
- A petrolhead
- Grace herself
- A preacher
Intrigued? Here's where you can read it: What is Grace?
Political Joke
On the subject of politicians...
Sometimes I wonder if the House of Commons was influenced by Picasso.
Have you seen them vote?
Eyes to the left. Nose to the right.
The Official Christmas Switch-On
Our Grove is having its official Christmas lights switch-on this evening.
Yep, everyone will switch on their outside Christmas lights at the same time. Socially distanced, of course.
Yes, I know we're still in November.
But have you noticed, this year the Christmas spirit seems to have moved forward by a few weeks. It seems everyone wants something to look forward to after the lockdown and restrictions.
Thanks to COVID, Christmas will be quite different this year, but let's do what we can to bring some cheer into it.
Do you have some good ideas to bring a little happiness and encouragement in the runup to Christmas?
Just reply to this email and let me know. I might even share your ideas with the other readers of the email next week.
Have a great week .
Best wishes
David
