Moving Stories...


Just two news stories which you may have missed...
There's an old joke about a minister who said on New Year's Day that he wanted to move the piano in his chapel from one side to the other. The Deacons said he couldn't. So every Sunday after the service, he pushed the piano just a few inches to the left. Nobody seemed to notice - but by Christmas, he'd got it exactly where he wanted.

I thought of that this week when I say this news about a whole church building    being moved in Sweden. 
They put it on a huge trolley and  it travelled 5km at a maximum of 500m an hour - it took two days.
What an amazing feat! And what a beautiful building.
The second joyful news was about 
a lady getting her voice [and her creativity] back after over 20 years. 
She lost it through MND, and for years had a robotic voice. 
An amazing company in Bristol have taken a scratchy recording of her voice on a family video, and created through AI, her 'old' voice again. She uses 'eye gaze' technology to operate a keyboard which then 'speaks' She also uses eye-gaze to produce artworks.
Do check out Sarah Ezekiel's incredible story

Two stories which made me feel very happy. Good news worth sharing
