I went our searching for signs of grace today and in one journey two drivers stopped to let me out when they didn't need to. Then later another driver bothered to tell me that I had left a key in my bike's topbox.
At the Babysong training weekend, the leaders (from Norway) couldn't get used to having to keep saying "please" when they asked us to do something....not really part of their vocab evidently !
I will be a Spirit-filled, radical, growing Christian, with a burning desire to; lead people into a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, actively serve my community and fight for social justice.
My Mission Statement
I will be a holy, loving, faithful Christian, devoted to the word and driven by communion with God. I will act on the truths of scripture and the wise counsel of trusted friends. I will be consistent, honest, passionate and specific in prayer, and will pray regularly for my denomination, my church, my family and friends, and for non-belivers. I will believe my God is able. I will be unafraid and unashamed of the gospel, praying for and subsequently taking opportunities to share my life and faith with those yet to believe. I will seek ways to get involved in my community and to touch the lives of the hurting, the poor and the broken-hearted. I will not quench the fire in my heart out of fear of the world, rather I will fan the flame of passion for the Kingdom of God in my heart, and will encourage others to do likewise.

It's our inbuilt predisposition to politeness.

Such nice people us Brits!
Why not?
Have you read 'Notes from a Small Island'?
I'm currently reading 'Watching the English' (thanks Glyn!), an anthropological view at our culture. Very interesting...
My friend from the Ukraine likes to step on people's toes on the underground so that they say sorry.
That's potentially quite a dangerous game though...
