I haven't been a very good blogger lately. First let me tell you about the weekend I mentioned in my last post. It was most enjoyable and I met lots of new people from our newly amalgamated circuit. We learnt about God's covenant with Moses and our covenant with God. One really important thing was that it was pointed out that the God of the Old Testament was a God of loving kindness and not the fierce God he is sometimes represented as being.One of our friends fell and cracked her arm. Fortunately I had travelled down in a car with friends and so was able to drive home the lady with the damaged arm.I've written a squidoo lens about Job. Here is the link if you are interested.Interesting Bible People:Job
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...
