Todays Disturbing thought focussed on money.

In particular asking me to think on how my money, and the money of my country, is used globally. Initially I started to think that there is not really a lot I can do, which is a pretty complacent thought.

As I focus on waiting during Advent, I started to think on those in this country and other places where the waiting is not the advent sort, but rather is the wait for justice. Jesus brought justice, Jesus will bring justice, during Advent we could embody justice in our locations.

In the UK, at least, our leaders in parliament seem to have closed their eyes to what is happening in the world using the excuse of protecting ‘our countries interests’ with biased trade deals on an unfair market.

Rather than complacent resignation to one person not being able to ake a difference maybe I should write more letter, pray more earnestly, donate more money or shout more loudly. After ll, Mr T. Blair knows only too well that one person with one vote can make a big difference.
