Paralympics & Limitations

Great to see part of the opening ceremony for the Paralympics, and looking forward to watching some of the action.

It struck me how amazing the athletes are, and how they have overcome and even used their disabilities to achieve great things. Which got me thinking...

How do we cope with our own limitations? They may not be physical, but may be emotional, mental, energy, skills or simply a lack of time! Do they frustrate us? I don't see much frustration coming from the Paralympians despite some major limitations to what they can do...

And how do we think God views these? After all, he knows us better than we know ourselves... Do we think he is disappointed when we can't 'achieve'?

How can we even use some of these limitations in our lives?

The crown jewels... Privacy?

Noticing the Sun's statement today about printing the Prince Harry pics... They remain convinced that publication of the pictures was about 'freedom of the press'...

Nothing to do with freedom of the press... It's all about the money, money, money... And nothing mentioned about the Sun having any moral responsibility in this situation, or giving any sort of lead on how newspapers should behave. 

To me, the argument that 'everyone else is doing it so why can't we?' is basically an anarchic attitude and one that reveals the moral vacuum and irresponsible immaturity of the Sun. Nothing learned from phone hacking... still no sense of any responsibility within journalism... 

What do you think? How does faith impact on this 'exposure'?!...
