I saw this painting recently in London. It purports to be St Monica being handed her newly born son who was to become Augustine of Hippo.

Couldn’t you find a nice mitre to replace the crown? 😉

Oh, I didn’t make it.

Yes! With an explanatory, ‘The Kingdom of God Needs You (To Come Out)!’ I’m celebrating today by putting my publications on my website, thus nailing my rainbow colours to the mast. Once I’ve had my tea. Living in Glasgow, I won’t have had it.

He didn’t know that the 1st of Dec was the world’s hiv/aids day, we both were seeing the day from completely different angels.
