My kingdom for a car?

If I’d asked people what they wanted, they would have asked for a better horse.
– Henry Ford, industrialist (1863–1947)

Nearly five candles

Madeleine McCannA year ago this little girl disappeared in Portugal. Abducted from her holiday home while her parents enjoyed a meal a short distance away. Since then Madeleine McCann’s picture has never been far from the front pages of British Newspapers. Soon it will be her fifth birthday.

On her last birthday I blogged that we should light a candle for each year of her life and use it as a focus to pray for her return in the hope that this year she would blow out the candles at home with her parents. Sadly there’ll be an extra candle but still no Madeleine unless something amazing happens in the mean time. Never give up praying.

It still Rattles and Hums

rattle and Hum Album SleeveIt’s some time time since I listened to the U2 album Rattle and Hum. They were on fire  – Unforgettable. I have this album on Vinyl and at sometime I had transferred it onto cassette and later minidisc. I was in the process of transferring it again this time onto my hard drive. It’s a process I can only describe as tedious, so I looked on iTunes to see what price it was. Just £5.49 – so I bought it. So now it’s on my iPhone.

Pride still brings tears to my eyes and I still haven’t found what I’m looking for with the gospel choir is spine chilling.

Perhaps I like this album because it touches the gospel roots planted in me as a boy.
