As a christian man you are required to love your wife as Christ loves the church. Now that, I'm sure you will agree is a very tall order. Similarly wives should love their husbands and children. However it is possible to love your family too much. This happens when you worship them. Worship is for God alone and He must always come first in our lives. Those teenage crushes consist of worship and should be pushed out of our lives in order that we can put God first. A crush manifests itself in spending long hours thinking about the object of our crush. This is time we should spend worshipping God. I have had problems with "falling in love" all my life and it is only within the last few years that I have realized the truth, that I was worshipping the wrong person. Now God helps me see these problems coming and I ask for His help to keep my attention on Him.
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...
