Very funny Tard girl......you put a smile on my face too. I laughed a lot at your answer. I like shocking humour. Well done.

Wonderful.
Had I been off work, I would have gone on the Sunday School Union's annual Good Friday march of witness. I've gone on the march since I was a bairn, first with my Sunday School and then with my (different to the Sunday School) church. It's good fun. We'd pass the Mosque and often the Muslim families that lived near it would come out to see the 'parade' The children would be encouraged to clap along with our 'songs' (We have a Salvation Army band leading us) by their mothers. That is one of my favourite bits. Seeing two communities interacting on such a special day.
Today, however, I have been on nightshift and the march would have been a crawl for me so I'm here on Y!A but there are a few good documentaries on this evening. I'm going to watch the Manchester Passion later on.
I shall be having spaghetti bolognaise for tea. Both my senior and the early shift senior have called me a heathen for having mince instead of fish. The latter went to far to remind me that He died for me. Oh, well I know that but it's always good to hear it.
However, I have no truc with manmade traditions and the fishy thing isn't mentioned in the Bible. I will not be eating the body of Christ when I eat the mince, I shall be eating dead cow. I have too much respect for my seniors to say that to their faces though so I just said 'yep' to the accusation of being a heathen and an emphatic 'yep' when they said that He died for me. They very nearly got an emphatic 'Amen and Hallelujah.'

how lovely to hear your little snippet of some of the things that make me so proud to be English born and bred. Shame there are so many people trying to obliterate our gentile, loving and caring way of life. There is a resurrection power at work here, like a candle being re-ignited but not with a small flicker but a burning flame.

Now, isn't that simply wonderful. To be able to worship in peace and to enjoy the time spent doing it. If we could all be like this , not blowing up bombs or sending missiles into the congregation, the world would be one happy place.
Am glad you noticed . You should have mingled with them too.

That's nice. Several Christmases ago in Belfast I was walking past a Presbyterian church and they were having an outdoor chestnut roast and Christmas fair, and as I walked through people came up and were so welcoming to me. I was touched by what nice people they were.

Hi, sounds wonderful - enjoy. Where I live all I can hear are squawking seagulls - dreadful.
