Most of us have been fortunate enough to have been brought up in a family with caring parents and siblings. When one member of the family is in need the others gather around to help out. This is my experience at the moment as I am convalescing after major surgery. I am so grateful to God for giving me back the family I nearly lost through my own foolishness. Never undervalue your family. If there are disagreements do your best to overcome them, you never know when you will need your family. There will come a time when you can return the compliment when another member of the family is in need. This also applies to the family that is the church. In the church there may well be people who do not have a genetic family. They need our help even more. Families should stick together and help one another.
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...
