Muslim now BBC head of religion

I was horrified to read this post in the Times on 12 May. One has to wonder about the "political correctness" that permeates our society. Ta appoint a Muslim as head of religious broadcasting at the BBC, the state broadcast medium of a supposed Christian country takes the biscuit.

It saddens me. I still thoroughly enjoy about every third programme in the "Songs of Praise" series. But I even find more than 50% of those programmes poor, and wrote to complain recently about an entire half hour programme broadcast in Welsh, which Aled Jones claimed was "God's own language".

Shame to see the BBC fall so far, particularly as I was an employee. I also notice they broadcast evolution as scientific fact, and try to prevent an Evangelical Christian broadcaster in Holland using their programmes with these unproven claims omitted. How the BBC has lost its way!

Jade Goody turns to Christ as cancer advances

There has ben much news on cancer recently. I found the story of Jade Goody, a loud and foul mouthed Essex girl who turned to Jesus as her death from cervical cancer approached very moving..

Holidays!

Oops, a long time since the last post...Why?

Jan had her annual check with the oncologist in April. For the first time ever she actually saw the consultant, an oncologist who gave confidence she knew what she was talking about, unlike earlier apointments where so often the replies were "I don't know", or even worse panic inducing tests for potential new cancers.

All was clear, so we jetted off to Portugal for a couple of weeks break on the Algarve!
