Santa meets Jesus: A Post-Christmas Conversation


Santa: Hey Jesus
Jesus: Hey Santa, how are you?
Santa: Very well. Slightly tired, been around the world in one night *yawns*
Jesus: I see. You're getting too old for this, any plans to retire soon?
Santa: Retire? Nah, the world needs me. They need to believe I'm real. So I can't retire
Jesus: I'm not so sure about the "believe" part. Humans find it hard to believe in what they can't see.
Santa: I don't know about you but I've been around a long time to know they do. You just need the right story.
Jesus: Story?

Inspiring Stories: British Military Wives Choir with Gareth Malone

"We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender." Winston Churchill

Music has been described as the food of the soul. Everyone has an emotional connection to one form or music or the other. However getting people to sing professionally (especially if they are not interested or never really done it before) can be a daunting task. This seems to be a specialization that Gareth has acquired.
