And Now For Something Completely Different...

Some evenings I'm able to sit and binge watch some great telly. One of the box sets that I'm working through at the moment is the original series of Monty Python's Flying Circus, which dates back to 1969. 

The second year of the show featured John Cleese as a deadpan narrator, sitting behind a desk, who would act as a link between unrelated sketches by quoting the phrase "..and now for something completely different."

This was also the title of Monty Python's 1971 feature film, which featured a collection of sketches from their first two TV series, re-enacted and shot for film.

Completely different. Hmmm...

It seems to me that we are all created by God to be unique, to be "completely different' ... and yet we still reflect the infinite creativity of our Father in Heaven. God created each of us to be unique, with our own unique ways. Therefore, you don’t have to compare yourselves to others. 

I dare to be different, I dare to believe;
I dare to be different, God’s Spirit receive;
I dare to be different, my life sacrificed;
I dare to be different by living like Christ.
lyrics by Commissioner Harry Read
