We don't get snow very often in the south of Britain, but when we do everything stops. Now and again God stops what we are doing so that He can have our attention. Are you going to listen to Him, or turn away and try to struggle on without Him. Much better to let Him into your life and change it for the better. God promises to forgive all who come to Him by way of Jesus, who died so that all who believe will be forgiven.
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...
