I wonder if Father Christmas makes it to Limbo as he travels round in his space-time continuum handing out pressies for all...he forgot me last year by the way (just in case he's reading this  ) |
I was a bit like this, going to a very strict C of E junior school, I was listening to an assembley speech regards God, and they said something like 'We worry that because we are so small and insignificant, we worry that god won't care about us. Well, the truth is not a single bird falls without god knowing about it. If he cares so much for little birds, how much more must he care for people!'
And I thought, what a load of absolute tosh. For a start, I was very overweight and certainly didn't think of myself as 'small'. And also, why did size run relative to how much care is deserved?!'
It was then I decided school talked tosh. Lol
I was seven at the time I think.
