What do you see?

April 1, 2008

I see my city suffering. It is longing and yearning for life and love. I see an economy that is on the ground, I see young people who leave because there is no reason to stay – there is not enough room for development and work. The Citycouncil announced that they will focus on the elderly, because that is where the future market will be. That is right, but what shall we do, if the goverment is giving up on the youth? Can we turn that arround? And yet through al of this I see the potential of my City. There is a lot of creativity, new cafes opend during the last 1-2 years and… yes and what else. This place develops so slowly that it is hard to see it some times.As Martin is writing, we need to develop a spirituality, a way of following christ, IN this situation of creation. We are no sphere for our own sake.
