When you have important beliefs that you want to hold onto, at all costs, spend time with like-minded friends. There are always people who will scoff at what you believe, so go and get strength from your friends. Read the Bible together and keep reminding each other about those important beliefs. Briefly they are, knowing that we are all sinners in need of salvation, people who have gone wrong and need to be put right. We can only be put right by believing in Jesus and his sacrifice on the cross. this is the best topic to discuss, while enjoying a meal together.

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...
