If atheists are deaf to the word of God, then theists are blind to the ways of man.

Despite having seen a fair amount of the world, I still love travelling - I just have an insatiable curiosity and like looking out of a window.

Somewhere, a long way away, people are doing sensible things like mowing lawns and digging gardens.

There is barely a country in the world where you will be completely safe.

I am not a great cook, I am not a great artist, but I love art, and I love food, so I am the perfect traveller.

As I work in the afternoon on committing to paper some of my morning's thoughts, I find myself just about to close on the knotty question of whether or not I believe in God. In fact I am about to type, 'I do not believe in God', when the sky goes black as ink, there is a thunderclap and a huge crash of thunder and a downpour of epic proportions. I never do complete the sentence.

In the absence of fear there is little faith.
