In the news today...

Two things caught my eye in today's news...

Firstly, a version of the Bible has been released that can be read in under 2 hours. The 100 minute bible is designed for people who haven't read the Bible before and focuses on the key events, especially the life of Jesus. Although I would gladly encourage creating a Bible that is easily read, I am concerned that crucial passages have been removed to make it more palatable or to appeal to readers of the Sun, Nuts or OK. I will, however, reserve judgement until I read it...

Secondly, poor Cliff - he's getting a hard time again. He is quoted as saying he would not waste time on "a record that no one will play". What a shame. I love to take the micky out of Cliff - he is, in fact, an easy target with the cheese he has put his name to over the last 20 years or so. His moonwalk is too silly for words. However, I respect him and think he needs a level playing field like everyone else. I respect him for having the guts to be a Christian and do things his way... and I love "Wired for Sound" - what a song!!! Makes me want to get my iPod out and go rollerskating.
Anyway, if the Rolling Stones can get airplay then why not Cliff? Although, if he puts out another song like "Millenium Prayer" then I personally will hunt him down and slap him with a big fish - That song offends me as a Christian and as a Scot...
