Today at the Bible study we read from the book of Revelation from Chapter 21. It was about the new heaven and earth and God being our light and living with us. If you are living through difficult days remind yourself of the glory which will be ours when all things are sorted out and evil and crying and mourning are done away with. Paul tells us to think of our affliction as being very light when compared with the glory that is to come. Be encouraged.
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...
