I read Redhead's article about the Lord's Prayer and it struck me on so many levels. The idea that we are all looking in to the dawn of a new day and praying that it will be a better day... what has happened to us as a People, as Nations?

What have we done that has culminated in 2020, the year that the world went mad? Well, I will tell you what we did wrong. We allowed them to trespass against us.

Green alarmists are fanning a firestorm of fear about man-made global warming.

Earth always cycles between warmth and cold. Every recent warm period (Medieval Warming, Roman Warming etc) was a time of plenty for all life on Earth, whilst cold periods like the Little Ice Age saw crop failures, famine, migrations, invasions, disease and death.

I woke early this morning, around  4.30 am .   I  arose and headed to my TV room.   This is where,  if you remember reading about my Magic Chair that the family gave me for Christmas last year is  my  Massage chair.

I relaxed into the   soothing motion of the massage , looked out of the window , dawn and the sun rising  and everything looked lovely.    The Lord's Prayer popped into my mind.    So I began to say it.      You have to  remember I am old school...  we had a different upbringing to most of the kids today.   We  had morning prayers before classes began.    On Sunday morning we went to Sunday  school.   We recited and knew the different prayers.   My children followed the same routine, the biggest difference was the Queen and standing "for a Lady on a Horse"  before the movie  began.    Sunday school the same , the Lords' Prayer the same.

This year’s presidential election is the fourth since 2000 to be marred by either widespread allegations of voter fraud or of foreign interference. Politicians and pundits have long counted on elections to wave a magic wand of legitimacy over the reign of whoever is designated the winner. But Americans are increasingly wondering if the endlessly-trumped “consent of the governed” has become simply another sham to keep them paying and obeying. 

 Years ago, as a child, I was told a story about a man who changed the world. He had the crazy idea that if you treated people well, they would prosper. He talked with people at rallies and, as time went by, his gatherings grew and he became well known for his words, his deeds and his love of and for his fellow human being.

He didn't give a toss about whether someone was black or white; rich or poor; he didn't even care if someone was sick or diseased. All he cared about was making people better. In making individual people better, he believed that his world would become better, kinder, richer and more equality based.

What a situation we are in , both here and New Zealand where farmers who have done their bit   by producing food and fruit   are having no one to help pick and  collect it.   Result  ... being ploughed back into the ground or left in the case of fruit to rot under the trees or bushes.  

 I can understand no foreign backpackers or seasonal pickers arriving because of the  Virus  restrictions.   But surely we have enough unemployed younger  and fit people who can join  with others to help harvest the  food  the hard working farmers have worked so hard to produce.
