And of those words written by George Cotton:
We thank Thee, Lord, for this fair earth,
The glittering sky, the silver sea;
For all their beauty, all their worth,
Their light and glory, come from Thee.
Thine are the flowers [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Even the ruling classes, and the media with which they manipulate us, have a soft spot for Christmas.
They permit, in small controlled doses, some mention of “the true meaning of Christmas” – a baby born in a stable somewhere, choirs of angels etc.
The reason they tolerate it is that they do not understand it.

		<description><![CDATA[Last Sunday, ABC-TV presented a Compass program on the Canonisation of Mary MacKillop.
Nothing bad was said about Mary MacKillop. All who spoke were respectful towards her.
We heard about her generosity, independence, strong personality, kindness, willingness to forgive, “passion” etc.
Even her “star quality” . . . .

Jesus warns his disciples that they will encounter dangers on all sides &#8212; that’s the bad news . . . .
However he promises them supernatural and invincible help &#8212; which has to be good news.

He has not been particularly thought of as a writer of spiritual compositions.
One of his songs, however, is full of joy, optimism and a kind of a wistful faith &#8212; a refreshing change from a lot of the morbid [...]]]></description>

Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno will receive six lashes with a “light” rattan cane. (AAP, 19/8/2009)
The prosecutor said, “This is a good punishment because under Islamic law a person who drinks commits a serious offence.”

It makes you want to be a better person.
If you pray this prayer sincerely, you will become a better person.
The change will be unmistakeable.
