So it goes, as one of my favourite authors Kurt Vonnegut wrote.
A couple of months ago me ad the wife took Holy Communion inside York Minster, the congregation was made up of every colour and creed and the service was truly special. My wife asked me over lunch, "Why can't we all live in Peace?"

I simply replied, "I suppose the haters outnumber the peacemakers".

“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14:27.

Sad is it not Sir Outwood that such a simple message cannot be understood and adhered to?

The hate currently on display in Israel was never part of the Lord's plan, I am 100% sure about that.
