My thoughts are not your thoughts, my ways are not your ways

 

If the land-owner, out of wider social concern, chooses to pay what social justice today would call 'a living wage', those who worked all day have no grounds for resentment. They are reasoning out of an understanding of rewards tied to deserts on a strictly individualist basis. His procedure sees the workers as a community, all of whom should be objects of social concern.

Sometimes you meet human beings who really lift your spirit

Hello Tranmere community.

I am reflecting on a number of wonderful people who have passed away in recent times.
Maureen Green and Joe Garreffa were people close to me. In their own unique ways they presented incredible faith journeys for us to take to heart.
I offer this song in their memories. It is a translation of a song that has become hugely inspirational in the Netherlands. I Will Be There by Sela. It is a powerful song!
