Mine is to read my Bible lots more. The bible tells us all we need to know about God and that is important because we belong to him and we have certain obligations to him which we need to know about. I've been talking to God since I was seven and now I am 64, so that's quite a time. There is nothing more wonderful than knowing God, but you have to come to him his way. We are all sinners and need the forgiveness God provides in Jesus. You can't reach God in your own strength, because he requires perfection. Now you know you can't provide that, but Jesus can. Come to Jesus and he will bring you to God.
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...
