A bit of light relief…

On Sunday, I saw the Olympic Torch. Not in the streets, but in someone’s house. One of the people who had carried it that day called around to the house where I was.

Ever the opportunist, I asked if she would come to Beaver Scouts the next day and she did. A room of 6-8 year old boys who were unbelievably noisy, worse than they had ever been, were suddenly transformed into an uncanny silence and an almost religious devotion as they each got a chance to touch it.

Rebecca, 14, let me take her picture with the torch and her dad said I could post it to the 95th most popular Christian blog. So here it is!

    My wife told me the other day that the people in the relay don’t just get to keep the torch. They have to pay £200 for it. No wonder they are being sold on eBay.

    I can just imagine the boys faces.

    On this leg, the sponsors gave way the torches free to all the runners!
