So here I am on hliday in Cornwall but I can't keep away from the internet. I have to write my blog and put my poem on Squidoo. It's become like a sacred trust I dare not break. Or what will happen? I will sink into oblivion. Well I'm pretty much in oblivion anyway, being a 63 year-old living in a rural situation. What effect does my little life have on anyone else out there and yet I feel I should try to have an effect? Therefore I have put Bible stories on Squidoo as I feel not many people know them any more. These stories are full of human situations we still all face. They are most definitely relevant to our lives now. Here is a link to one which will lead to the others, dear reader, if you so wish. Interesting Bible People:Rahab
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...
