LONDON'S GANGS - MORE SUPPORT FOR FAMILIES NEEDED

Earlier this month , yet another teenager died as a result of gang-related violence in London - the eighteenth this year.

    THOUGHTS ON LIFE:

    MORE ABOUT HUMILITY

    To me, humility is about being self-forgetful. How hard is that? I find that the more I think about this issue, that it is fundamentally about trust. When I don’t forget myself in the sense that Jesus meant, then I am clinging on to my way of doing things and not trusting.

This particular morning he was at the corner of one of the intersections where I cross the road waiting at the lights when I was walking up to them. As I approached the lights the homeless man and I exchanged eye contact for a second, so I said ‘How you going mate?’

The PM, working alongside the fictional intelligence agency MI13, is apparently involved in defeating aliens intent on invading known as Skrulls.
