Is there anybody out there?  No I’m not making a comment on the number of hits (or lack thereof) I’m getting on this site!… I’m just wondering whether I’m lucky or whether there is ’something looking out for me?’… strange topic for a political Blog?

Maybe.  Nick Clegg doesn’t beleive in God.  Tony Blair ‘didn’t do God’ (even though he believed in Gods existance…?!?)  I suspect (maybe) that Dave Cameron thinks he is ….. (er better not comment on that!)… so its political 

Politicians seek to use faith (rightly or wrongly) as part and parcel to the process of winning power.  I need to declare an interest at this point.  I’m a Christian.  But I’m also a Liberal…. There is interesting interplay between the two sets of ideas.

My day job is Software Quality Assurance.  I’m very employable.  I can expect to earn a lot of money during my career (more than in Politics I can tell you!) I have a secure home and no  debts to speak of.  I’m ‘Lucky’… if you want to accept that concept?

 Our world is full of situations and individuals that are not as ‘lucky’ as me.  The horrible madness in Kenya and wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Places we know about because of the media.  there are plenty of others we don’t know about….

So whether you have faith in something ‘out there’ or not, maybe what matters is our attitude to people and situations that we encounter and how we react to them.
