Alan Wyatt I just want to say..

My earliest memories of Jesus.. At primary school I remember singing in assembly about Jesus and the parties he had with his sofa. The words of the song were:

“Dance then wherever you may be, I am the Lord of the dance settee..”

Another memory which may have preceded the sofa dance was the image planted in my mind by the response from my father when asked the question, ‘Daddy, who’s Jesus?’.

“He’s like a doctor in the sky who makes people better”

Well, I had a vivid image of a low-flying helicopter (probably like something seen on Skippy) hovering over the green where we lived, with a very cool guy, half climbing out of one side in flared suit, tie, flowing c.1970 hairstyle and a briefcase which would contain his stethoscope. In fact, he probably looked like one of The Beatles in a TV detective’s suit. I still have that image in my mind now.

So, as far as I know, there was no helicopter in the Bible, and I realise I misheard the words to ‘Lord of the Dance‘.
