Happy Birthday George MacDonald!

Postby David Jack » December 10th, 2007, 7:11 am

George MacDonald was born on this day in 1924. He would be 183 years old if he were alive today...but of course I speak as I am taught, and as he would be the first to point out, he is very much alive, more so than us, in the presence of the Father.

Happy birthday George! Thanks for your own wonderful works, and for baptising Jack's imagination so we can see some of the same qualities in his!

yep, sorry about getting the century wrong. i did of course mean 1824 :blush:...1924 was significant for completely different reasons (eric liddell the 'flying scotsman' and all that)
