Looking at the news and wondering what it all means

The prince has landed...

I don't care what people say, I feel a bit sorry for Prince William over all the fuss that has been made since he landed an RAF Chinook on his girlfriend's lawn. OK, so it shouldn't happen every day, and it is not what the helicopter is for, but what's the fun of being a prince if you can't fly the odd helicopter occasionally. I think the RAF have got it disastrously wrong saying it is good training. Actually it may well be, but that is not the point. We all know of times when RAF helicopters have dropped in to schools, dropped off pilots on their wedding days, and all sorts. I reckon if you are a prince and a serving officer then a little fun should be in order. OK, so I admit that I don't know all the facts. It is possible that there was gross irresponsibility taking place. However my suspicion is that it was a harmless bit of fun, and I have to say that I am all in favour of that. It is right to say that we should be diligent and responsible, however it seems to me that we have thrown out the baby with the bath-water. How many children are impoverished because their parents have forgotten how to play? How many marriages plundered because lovers have forgotten how to have fun? How many believers robbed of faith because workers have lost the ability to wonder. Jesus said, "I have come that they might have life and have it to the full"
