Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the safe arrival of their son. In many ways this baby is no different from any other baby in that he needs love and care, but of course, he is marked out as special because of the traditions of our land. His pathway to becoming the monarch will be mapped out for him and he will always be the object of public attention. Hopefully he will have a happy private life and grow up to be wise and strong, with the welfare of his people at heart. May he be blessed with faith in God and lead his people in the paths of righteousness.
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...
