How many people have influenced your life? think of all the time and energy put into making us the best human beings we could be. Our parents were first, then our teachers. Friends and work mates. It is amazing to think of all these people. How blessed some of us have been. We should be full of thanks to God for all those people he has put in our lives. Some people have not had the advantages that the rest of us have had, but we have been blessed.
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...
