Time I posted again. So far no one has found me here but I guess they will sometime. I don't want to be a voice shouting in the dark. I will be preaching tomorrow at a little chapel in the hills. I go there frequently as a member of the congregation so know them well. I would like to hear from other preacher's. The only one I've found is a bit too political for me. when you live in the countryside as I do you are looking after the welfare of little old ladies and although there are political implications it all seems a bit distant.
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
Well now you are found. And I will be visiting the site in future. For what it is worth we are in the same county. I am a minister up in the wonders of the North ant Bideford.
