If...

If the world was a village of 100 people, there would be 60 Asians, 12 Europeans, 15 from the Western Hemisphere (North and South America and Oceania), and 13 Africans.

50 would be female and 50 would be male.

There would be 27 white people and 73 non-whites.

33 would be Christian and 67 would be non- Christian.

6 people would possess 59% of the world's entire wealth. All 6 would be from the United States.

80 would live in substandard housing.

70 poeple would be unable to read.

50 would suffer from malnutrition.

1 would be near death and 1 would be near birth.

1 person would have a university education.

1 would own a computer.

If this were our village, surely we would try to change this.

But this is our village since it is our world.

Summer '08

I am just not inspired to do anything, neither to read nor write and i simply cannot get my spellings write! Life is moving at a slow and super sonic speed at the same time (possibly with the fear of having to say *serious* goodbye yet again!) which leads to confusion for which i have been the princess for a long long time.


It has been really nice and sunny for two weeks which does good to my mood and my skin ! (yey tanning for free, not that i am a milky white...yuck!)
It's been just so refreshing to get up in the morning with the birds singing in the garden below my window, the bluebells and the azaleas are in full bloom and the whole world is out, marching up and down the High street in their micro-mini skirts and colourful flip flops. What a feast to the senses!


The keener ones are out along the river all geared up for long walks and the little people are zooming along in their scooters hoping for a sweetie or two when mummy and daddy decide to sit down for a picnic at the end of the rather narrow footpath.


As i walk along watching others around me, i begin to wonder why some parts of the world are so beautiful... is this another 'unfairness' on the part of Life or God himself ?
But,
He asks me if I have been a good steward for the things that He gave me...then i am left speechless!

READY FOR ACTION

GUILDFORD 2008

We are blessed, to bless the world in pieces,

We are loved, to love where love is not,

We are changed, to be the change you promise,

We are freed to be your hands o god
