Although things appear to be going well, on a personal front, things are not quite so rosy with the outside world.
Islamic extremism remains the greatest threat to world wide peace. The horrendous assassination of Benazir Bhutto just the latest example in a long list of atrocities against those who strive for peace and reconciliation.
It seems apparent, to myself, that a recession is just around the corner. Greenspan is doing his best to destabilise the fragile US economy, Brown has all but bankrupted the UK, and mainland Europe continues to remain inefficient and corrupt.
Added to this is the British government's failure to maintain safety on the streets for the UK populace. Even the police want the right to strike as the Home Secretary renages on pay agreements. Our armed forces have been run ragged and overstretched. The English Channel no longer provides protecion against illegal immigration. The list goes on ...
So, this is a worrying time for us all. Having said that, a Happy New Year to one and all, and let's pray that my assessment is well wide of the mark.

If your assessment is wide of the mark, so is mine! I agree in total. I remember Churchill's speech abut "this is our finest hour". May the Good Lord bless you and yours with a prosperous 08 and may He give devine wisdom to our faltering leadership.
