To distraction

by Matthew Bartlett @ 3:55 pm

All day I have the feeling I have forgotten something or am missing an appointment or have inadvertantly left something behind.

    Random place to put a cool quote, not directed at a stupefied Matt, more to do with secular “wisdom” and sophistication.

    “Thus did Western man decide to abolish himself, creating his own boredom out of his own affluence, his own vulnerability out of his own strength, his own impotence out of his own erotomania; himself blowing the trumpet that brought the walls of his own city tumbling down. And having convinced himself that he was too numerous, labored with pill and scalpel and syringe to make himself fewer, until at last, having educated himself into imbecility and polluted and drugged himself into stupefaction, he keeled over, a weary, battered old brontosaurus, and became extinct.”
    Malcolm Muggeridge

    Muggeridge was the man!

  3. He was great try ‘The Green Stick’ something of a biography of his spiritual journey from communist/socialist to Christianity

    cool – I must find it!

    Some should flick a couple of copies in the direction of our Labour government, praps?

    have you read “Jesus rediscovered” by Muggeridge? Christ, the son of the living God, died for your forgiveness.
