In August, approximately, for we never quite know when a baby will come, but probably in August, I will become a Grandmother. It's almost as exciting for me as it is for the parents themselves. I am also delighted that they are moving to my village. I've already been busy with the knitting needles and the crochet hook and have completed several little garments of various sizes. My friend is ahead of me and became a Grandma this last weekend. It will be nice to swap stories with her as the little ones grow. God is good.
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...
