Stephen Gough is in jail in Scotland. He has campaigned for the right to walk about naked in public. His walk from Lands End to John O'Groats ended with his arrest. When he turned up for court naked he was jailed for 2 years for contempt. The next time he returned to court, presumably to see if the authorities could force him to dress, he was given a further 2 years. Now he is stuck in this cycle of two yearly chunks.
It seems a shame his life may be lost to his belief and wise to listen to what he says. Whilst in Canada it dawned on him that he was good. This meant his body must be good too.
We could all do with some of that, believing we are good. There are so many from church to government telling us otherwise.
Believing you are bad leads to lost lives. Criminals are told by courts they are bad. Many people go through their entire lives thinking they are bad.
I did too. It got me in to a right mess.
My hope from now is to stick to the truth. I shall try to never lie again.
