Did we always pray for the AoC?

For the past couple of months I have noticed that my church is including the Archbishop of Canturbury. Okay yes, I really haven't paying much attention, but is this new? I did notice when we started praying for Adrian our mayor, who replaced Anthony. And really I don't think it matters because I bet during the Barry years the church prayed for Marion, lotta good that did.

Be yourself

I've been reading some of the urban planner blogs and I note where the idea is to make places cool & hip. But really there are some places that are not cool or hip and attempts to go that route make a place look like a gangly teenager whose stuffed her bra with way too much TP. You know that age when you're trying on different personalities and identitities trying to figure out which one fits. But the best advice is to be yourself, tweaked.
