United values








Last weekend, driving up through the Lake District to visit the Church holiday was stunning.(hence the pictures) By contrast, this weekend was supposed to be relaxing, catching up on some of the chores on the farm, and do some extra work on our business. However, Dad managed to experience a nasty breaking of his leg. This meant the weekend was a little more stressful, with another trip to Manchester and a couple of hospital visits.

One weird thing was that because Dad was in hospital there was a free spare ticket to go with Mark (my brother) to see Manchester United at Old Trafford. We were all there and we weren't doing anything and.... not one of us wanted to go! It just seems so wrong, such a insult to not tack advantage of something that most of the world values. I find it intriguing how people value different things, and how our own value systems change. I used to love United and hate church, and now I can't be bothered going to a match for free and I travel anywhere and give lots of cash to sit under the teaching of people who really KNOW and love God.
