Is this the man...? - a photo on Flickriver

            Is this the man who leads our country? Boris, Biden, Trump,  Macron, Putin, Xi ? Which is the wooden top we put our trust and faith in?

Which one knows the truth about the origins of Covid, or the Christmas party? Which one launched a biological attack on the freedoms of the people, which one will stop World War Three from happening by not attacking Ukraine or Taiwan? Which one will ensure world Peace?

As my son would say, we are at the stage now, like in 1930's Germany, when after WW2 people say, why didn't we stop them when all the terrible things first started? And they started stripping us of our freedoms?

My picture today, a carved 'signpost' at the divide in the road at Satran, Skye.. A Worzel Gummidge scarecrow, crucified on a wooden cross. Hmmmm. Symbolic? There was a man who gave his life, crucified on a cross for his beliefs. As Christmas nears (not 'Holidays'), perhaps we need to pause a moment just to remember what this whole thing is about. Shouldn't life be about being humane and showing goodwill to all others?

Do something good and give yourself the best Christmas ever! Which leader have you got faith in?  Any of those above, for Christ's sake? Try the man who died on a wooden cross.,
