There is a favourite American bumper sticker that reads

JESUS IS THE ANSWER

I imagine that it is popular with evangelicals!! I am not planning to have a shed load of these printed to raise funds for Temple Balsall – though any stray funding reader wanting to support us please contact my office ( www.leveson.org.uk)

My initial response to this bold claim is – Yes – but that depends what the question is!! What question would you like Jesus to answer? I can feel a theme for a family service coming on!

Over these past weeks I have been reading lots of interviews especially with older people reflecting on thier life history.

Here are some of my favourite questions:

• What is the biggest regret in your life?
• What was your happiest moment?
• What is your favourite food?
• What is your favourite place?
• What were your parents like?
• Who has loved you the most?
• What makes you most anxious?
• Which has been you best job or place of work?
• What would you like to do before you die?
• What helps you to sleep?
• What is your favourite colour?
• If someone had to understand one significant thing about you what would it be?
• What is your favourite journey?
• What is your greatest virtue?
• What makes you laugh?
• What is your best time of the day?

Well – the list could go on – and on – and on!! Try answering some of these – and tell me

What is your best question??
