Today I had a small chat with a colleague. We talked about problems in our city. It is important to recognise that we have problems, what the problems are and be humble and open about them. What is not so good though is that media and politicians focus on the problems and not on the solutions. I remember when my son had a big concert with his chamber orchestra, the principal for the music school said that : It is amazing to see all this young boys and girls performing as they are, spending so much time practising their instruments day by day, not running around committing crimes". "where is the press now?" Yes that's a good question. No focus on the good things The bible tells us " as you sow , you ripe". I would say were your focus are you are heading yourself! You are not what you think you are, you are what you think.... Change focus....
Living in a city as I am, in Malmo, Sweden, it feels natural to talk about bridges.In the year 2000 we got a bridge over the Sound to Copenhagen, Denmark. A bridge between two nations once fighting each other, now connected.We need to continue to build bridges, between different cultures, ideas, people etc. These bridges are harder to build but necessary in the society we have today.We need these bridges in order to reach people with the "Good news"
