Songs of Praise

An interesting programme this afternoon, full of wartime memories.   This naturally appealed to an old fogey like me: I recall those National Days of Prayer when on several occasions the King called the Nation to prayer.   I realise it's pure coincidence, but every time it was followed by a miracle of deliverance (as at Dunkirk, to which I have referred before).   I don't share Gordon Brown's politics but I warm to him when I read "We must not claim that God is on our side, but we have to hope that we are on His side".
