Dear God

We know you read Ovi in your spare time and may chuckle at some of miniscule efforts to affect the word in which we live, but as one of our guest writers says: it's not about saving the world; it's about being part of the "change" and becoming a team member. A team member, hmmm, would you call yourself a team player, God?

If you are, then whose side are you on? From terrorist acts the world has suffered in the last few years in your name has put doubts if you are even in the game at all. What am I saying? The last few years is nothing, let's just take the BBC today!

At least 54 people are killed in a suicide bomb attack near a mosque in Musayyib, south of Baghdad.
A blast on a minibus in the Turkish resort of Kusadasi kills at least five, including one British and one Irish woman.
Three British soldiers have been killed by a roadside bomb while serving in Iraq, the MoD has confirmed.

Hallelujah! Where's my Bible? My apologies, perhaps I am being too cynical about your role in all of this. I think if my name was being used as the excuse to commit acts of horror then I would step forward and have some words with those responsible.

Anyway, I emigrated from the UK because I didn't like what was happening to my country, then on July 7th, further weight was given to my argument and it gave me some comfort that my daughter, born the day before, arrived on this planet via sleepy Finland. Naturally, I asked myself what the world will be like as she grows up and will life ever get better.

My wife, ever the optimist, fears it won't change, but will become worse and was already banning our 20-hour-old daughter from deciding to move to England and live in London when she thinks she can make her own decisions.

I guess the world is now waiting for the star player, the spine of the global team to make an appearance and deal out some of that stuff called hope. Hope is all the world have left, but the amount of people that trust in that is fading - just ask the families and friends of the 49 killed and 700 injured in the London attacks.
