Sharing the good stuff
Anyone share my frustration with the media during the COVID ridden last few months? I thought we could have done with more 'we'll meet again' and less daily diet of doom. Given the global emergency, there was some amazing stuff going on. But apart from the antics of the legendary Captain Tom (now Sir Tom) the news circus seemed to revel in subjecting us to a barrage of grief. Of course there were mistakes and we need to be made aware of the facts. But whilst journalists seemed to go out looking for trouble, they tripped blindly over all those amazing acts of kindness springing up from the grass roots. I only realised the scope of these when the BBC popped in a short programme about our hidden heroes of lockdown. More of that please! Much more! Like the brilliant stories of heroism from the VE Day screenings. They continue to inspire even now. Could it be that as christian writers we need to turn things around? People do want to read about the positives. Are we in danger...
