Reflection- part 1- Friends

Have had a fragile couple of days. Once again I have been totally blessed by my friends. Its caused me to reflect on what an amazing bunch they are: and how God is just the best at bringing groups of people together. In the last week I've been blessed by people's cooking, washing up, driving, company, DVD's, hilarious texts, tea making (oh the tea making), space giving, singing, laughing, film watching, questioning, line learning, listening, but mainly just by their being.

And in the midst of it all God has drawn alongside and reminded me that He is my best friend; He has very graciously allowed other people to do the tea making but ultimately He.. well he is just he, and I love HIm.

What do I enjoy doing? What gives me joy? Leave me a comment.

Your vocabulary aged 5 is half what it is for a rich kid if you are in the bottom ten percent of income. Housing tenure stats are even worse. "Only 4 per cent of those of working age living in social housing have degrees, and nearly half have no or only low qualifications. Only half of men and 42 per cent of women of working age living in social housing are in paid work, compared with 89 per cent of men and 81 per cent of women in households with a mortgage." Social housing: by its nature, is grouped (london people ignore this, you are the freaks not the norm). That means that we have allowed ghettoes of poverty and low attainment (not just in a SATS way either). Now it would be easy, and some daft Tory has already done it, to pin this on
