I do seem to be a bit obsessive, which means I am likely to succeed with my new determination to write in this blog on a daily basis. Whether anyone will appreciate my efforts or not I cannot say. Are the ramblings of a 63 year old lady from the depths of Devon going to resonate with anyone out there, or will I be a voice crying in the wilderness? How many million words are written like this every day? Are we all speaking and no one listening? To speak effectively to others we need to listen, in order to understand their viewpoint.I want this to be an effective blog that brings the possibility of God to people who have no time for Him as yet. That's a tall order. To get a flavour of what I believe go to this lens Inspirational Meditations. Thank you for being here to listen.
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...
