Christmas as anything...

So merry Christmas then :)

Went to the usual service last night at St Cuthberts in Edinburgh. Its a big city centre church, full of all manner of waifs or strays (which of these categories do you fit into?). There are families, the lonely, geographical tourists, spiritual tourists (both types are far from home) and our wee collection of vagabonds.

Christmas aint Christmas untill you go to church with homeless people.

Of course, when one of those homeless people happens to be an italian drag queen who sings Handels 'Halelujah Chorus' in full operatic stylee, things tend to be a bit more interesting than your average family service.

My Christmas gift to you its a link to livy prog-punters Nine Miles High's myspace - www.myspace.com/9mileshigh. I particularly recomend 'Ya Bass' and 'Quadraspazzed'. They broke up last month and I'm genuinley gutted. The last gig was mental - complete with ceiling humping crowd surfers et-all.

I was caught in a small message board discussion at www.livims.co.uk and their guitarist Nico came out with one of the best theological nuggets of the year. Ponder it as you wonder at their big-assed guitar tone:

"Nobody fucks with Jesus".

Amen.

Have a good one wherever you are folks - Shalom.
