I'm in the Netherlands now. I like it here. However it is very flat and there seem to be lots of canals and bicycles (probably because it's so flat). But that's not a critism!
Bush is forever saying that democracies do not invade other countries and start wars. Well, he did just that. He invaded Iraq, started a war, and killed people. What do you think? How does that work in a democracy again? How does being more threatening make us more likeable?Isn't the country with the most weapons the biggest threat to the rest of the world? When one country is the biggest threat to the rest of the world, isn't that likely to be the most hated country? Our country is in debt until forever, we don't have jobs, and we live in fear. We have invaded a country and been responsible for thousands of deaths. The more people that the government puts in jails, the safer we are told to think we are. The real terrorists are wherever they are, but they aren't living in a country with bars on the windows. We are.
Born in England, travelled much as a child. Went to Florida alone at 18 and then a year later went to a monastery called Taize in France where I was so touched by the love I found there that I said to God I wanted to give the rest of my life to Him, and became a Christian. I had a tangible experience of Him with me. A few days after that I went interrailing around Europe. My rucksack was stolen and I immediately learnt to trust God for provision. Have had many great experiences travelling and discovering how God looks after me and brings me into great situations (and out of some others!). I've got so many stories of travelling that I decided to share some of my travelling experiences through this blog.
