So today was rememberance sunday and people who wouldn’t normally go to church did, people stopped at 11 to stand silent for two minutes, the whole of britain probably virtually stopped…but why?

Okay, so 80odd years ago lots of people went to war (in my opinion war can never be justified! (but that’s another story…or blog)), and died whilst fighting and whether we want to admit it or not it’s thanks to them today we’re not all german!

But more people die than that from say poverty or aids in a year (I suspect) yet we don’t remember them, they don’t have a choice to have it it just happen.

I guess the point I’m trying to make is that surely there is no point in rememberance sunday? We should go to church to praise God and learn more about him, I don’t think I could sit here and type that we shouldn’t have rememberance sunday but I just don’t see the point, yes people died but it happens all the time, we don’t need one day to remember it, if people want to remember it they can do it whenever, why have a somber church service? Why not celebrate for those soldiers who believed in Jesus and are in heaven? I truly believe that God would rather we celebrated than had a somber service!
