A Day of Remembrance.... A Moment of Reflection

It’s the 11th of the 11th, and on the 11th hour we pause to remember the fallen.

It has been 30 years since the Governor General of Australia dismissed the Prime Minister, and 120 years since Australia executed (potential) suicide bushranger Ned Kelly.

It has been 5 years since the United Nations declared HIV to be a threat to international security and 17 days since UNAIDS and UNICEF announced that ‘A child under the age of 15 dies of an AIDS-related illness every minute of every day, and a young person aged 15-24 contracts HIV every 15 seconds.’

I’m getting concerned.

I’m beginning to think that the streets of heaven may be getting too crowded.
