I'm going for Giant Squid on Squidoo, which means I have to make at least 50 lenses by the end of September. The big question is, will this cause any conflict with my preacher training. I am sure not. I am retired and so have plenty of time. Also I can use some sermon material for my lenses as one of my purposes is to encourage people to think about God. So I see no conflict, it is all part of the same calling. I do also write humourous lenses and lenses about sport, just to show that I am not lop-sided. So here's to an interesting couple of months. Do pop in to Squidoo. I am LizMac60 there.
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...
