One of the things we do when storms wake us up is play “Who Would You Like to Meet“!
Now this is nothing at all like singing “My Favorite Things”. Ma ain’t no Julie Andrews! Nothing sweet about my old gal.
No we get to grips with history.
Of course the obvious names always come to mind first; Jesus, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens but we have to seek someone out that’s going to give us some surprises.
Early this morning we hit on King Canute.
Now most people have heard the story of him sitting on his throne on the beach getting his paws wet trying to turn back the tide. We of course will want to know why he bothered to do that.
Of course we had to stick our nose in Google first thing this morning to Wiki him since a meeting is unlikely in this lifetime.
What we found was that this dude was far from stupid he’d united the kingdoms of England, Danemark, Norway and even Scotland.
He was a convert to Christianity but a bigamist to boot.
Did he really have an ego the size of Donald Trumps or was he filed with fledgling faith that he could turn the tide or was he trying to show people that God was in charge?
For now we’re giving him the benefit of the doubt and are going with the theory that he humbled himself to make the point that while you may be a Great Emperor the big guy up above is Greater still!!
