Are you thinking about Christmas already ?

Is that because you are a busy Mom and you want to give your family a good time? Is there going to be trouble making ends meet this Christmas? I'm sure Jesus didn't come so that Moms and Dads would be working flat out to give theri kids the latest gadgets. He came to free us from the need for such things. Love and companionship in our families is so much more important than the latest toy. We are all here to find God in Jesus and that is the only thing that matters. It doesn't matter what our neighbours think of us. It matters what God sees in us. If you are a poorer person praise God that he has made it easier for you to find him. You have not been side-tracked by the world's lie that the more things you have the happier you will be. Things go wrong, things let you down and they also split up families.

One day when I was with my family I walked around the house. Each of us had a T.V. in our room, we were sitting in separate rooms watching exactly the same problem,.... aha a Fraudian slip, I meant programme, but problem is a good name for the T.V.
Take a look at the link below for how I think Christmas happened and how we should celebrate it today.

How do you cope with depression?

There are two main types of depression, reactive, which is a reaction to your circumstances and endogenous, which is a part of your makeup and not entirely affected by your circumstances. I get the second type. When I am depressed I like to sleep a lot, this is probably not a good thing as depression can lift if you do not have extra sleep. It is all very well knowing that , but acting upon it is another thing. Exercise is also beneficial. Some sorts of depression can be lifted by taking these measures, but some people need medication. You need to get to know your doctor and develope a relationship with him/her where you feel you can trust their judgement. Do look for help as there are lots of possibilities out there. It is not good to spend long stretches of time on your own. Talking with other people will often help lift your spirits, especially if they are people who have gone through this experience themselves. Maybe you need to join a self help group. Avoid people who tell...

Section A

I've posted off my work for section A. Now to get on with B. Onward and upward as they say. It does feel good to have completed A, progress is being made.I think my tutor is more nervous than I as to the outcome, but then I am his first student. We are learning from each other.But then that should always be the case. It's an adventure we go on together.The course seems to be suiting me alright but I feel there are a lot of potentially excellent local preachers out there who are put off by the study. Something should be devised to include these good people, we can ill afford to do without them, especially as the numbers of ministers is dropping. What did Wesley do? You don't need a degree, or even A levels to preach. You need a call, and a close relationship with God.

Life after death

When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.
