haaretz: Romney has outraged the Palestinians when he suggested that the Israeli economy is prospering, unlike the Palestinian Authority’s, due to Israel’s superior culture.  During a fundraiser for American-Jewish supporters in Israel, Romney spoke about the economic differences between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, ignoring the limitations that the occupation puts on Palestinian economic development, saying instead that the reason for the gap was due to cultural differences between Israelis and Palestinians.

Who and why!

Just a blog about a bloke living a life that our creator decided was meant for him, regardless of his own initial personal thoughts on whether he ACTUALLY wanted this adventurous life in the first place!!!

However over time I realised if we are to live authentically as God wants us to, then we need to let go of our fears, have faith and live adventurously in the spirit.

My mum tells me she felt I was meant to be a Christopher Daniel (Christ bearer - God is my Judge) ... it "only" took us both until my 39 year on this planet to realise what she meant. Good job our loving creator is patient eh!

Now that I know this is what I am called to do, it does make life just a little easier. At least I don't need to worry about career choices in the near future!

This is a story about being a tiny incy-wincy cog in our creators great plan. So fasten your seat belts in the back there, and let us begin our journey together, some of those rarely travelled back roads are very bumpy and violent!
