The Young Women's Christian Association, which is one of Britain's oldest charities, has dropped the word "Christian" from its name to better reflect its role in society.
hmmmm, it certainly is a sign of the times…. ~grund

EU sends out three million 2011 calendar notebooks were printed at a cost of £4.4million to the taxpayer which list Muslim, Jewish, Chinese and Hindu holidays... but miss out Christmas and Easter
The European Union has sent millions of diaries to schools which list the dates of Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Jewish and Chinese festivals - but omit any mention of Christian celebrations.
In an extraordinary move, three million 2011 notebooks were printed at a cost of £4.4million to the taxpayer. Around 350,000 of the diaries have already been shipped to schools in the UK alone.
There is no record for Christmas, Easter or Lent - despite bureaucrats carefully listing the EU’s self-styled ‘Europe Day’ on May 9.

Oh my, its been a while since I posted anything…
Almost a year and a half… wow
I will start again.
Looking back I noticed that my posts were getting political, I do not like that I did that. We are to be Christians and I am still up in the air about how far our political activism should go. I’ll probably do a post on that.
I have added that thing where you have to type in the letters you see to post a comment, because I was getting nasty spam stuff, but anonymous posts are still permitted. I hate having to join anything just to post a comment (but the ‘type the letters in the box’ thing is okay’.
I have also deleted all the past comments (the good ones) by not knowing what I was doing… sorry about that.
We will see how it goes… ~grund
