Sometimes you have to stand back from giving out to others all the time and take a deep breath and let others minister to you. We all get dry periods when we have nothing to give.I've recently had a few days like that when I have felt no inspiration to write this blog. I hope I will soon recover my verve and be back with helpful suggestions on how best to live the christian life. Is there a christian worker in your life who needs you to encourage them? Get out there and do your bit to help.
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...
