On this day, the 6th day of the 4th month of the year of our Lord 2010, something major happened... Her Royal Majesty received a request from Gordon Brown, Prime Minister, to dissolve Parliament on Monday 12th April, for a General Election to take place on Thursday 6th May.
So we now have a month to listen, look, discover what each party has to say for themselves, what their policies are and how they are going to change this country to be the best it can. and then make a decision and use our vote wisely.
Gordon Brown said to the country that he is 'just an ordinary man'.
David Cameron is calling this 'the most important election of the generation'.
Nick Clegg is saying that it 'will not be a traditional two-horse race'.
In the next four weeks, the country will be bombarded with 'we can do this, we can do that' and a little bit of 'you don't want them to be in charge of the country'.
It's going to be an interesting couple of weeks. I'm going to have to keep an eye out for the stuff that is coming through the door and what is in the newspapers.
We're called to a moral decision as Christians, which makes it harder.
In other news...my Aunt gave birth to Adam, 19 years ago today! The family is growing old and we're starting to figure out where we all fit.

might be more of "you don't want them because ..." than "vote for us because ...", if previous ones are anything to go by.
