Are you a scientist?

Are you a good scientist who looks at all the negatives that prove you wrong, as well as enjoying the positives?  Are you seeking to please those who will give you your next research grant? Are you brave enough to tell the truth?
  If you are not a scientist what is your attitude to them?  Do you really believe they are always right just because they are scientists? Scientists are men and women just like you and me.  They are fallible and have their own agenda. We all enjoy it when our peers compliment us and scientists are no different. Most scientists will not even consider that intelligent design is a possibility as a reason for life on earth.  Why? Because they know of scientists who have been thrown out of the scientific community for raising this possibility.  The creationist world has brought up many possibilities that agree with their beliefs but the scientists will not even enter into dialogue with them. They choose to blank out all the proofs of the creationists and hope they will go away.  Is this truly a scientific way to behave?

How do you cope with depression?

There are two main types of depression, reactive, which is a reaction to your circumstances and endogenous, which is a part of your makeup and not entirely affected by your circumstances. I get the second type. When I am depressed I like to sleep a lot, this is probably not a good thing as depression can lift if you do not have extra sleep. It is all very well knowing that , but acting upon it is another thing. Exercise is also beneficial. Some sorts of depression can be lifted by taking these measures, but some people need medication. You need to get to know your doctor and develope a relationship with him/her where you feel you can trust their judgement. Do look for help as there are lots of possibilities out there. It is not good to spend long stretches of time on your own. Talking with other people will often help lift your spirits, especially if they are people who have gone through this experience themselves. Maybe you need to join a self help group. Avoid people who tell...

Section A

I've posted off my work for section A. Now to get on with B. Onward and upward as they say. It does feel good to have completed A, progress is being made.I think my tutor is more nervous than I as to the outcome, but then I am his first student. We are learning from each other.But then that should always be the case. It's an adventure we go on together.The course seems to be suiting me alright but I feel there are a lot of potentially excellent local preachers out there who are put off by the study. Something should be devised to include these good people, we can ill afford to do without them, especially as the numbers of ministers is dropping. What did Wesley do? You don't need a degree, or even A levels to preach. You need a call, and a close relationship with God.

Grey and gloomy

That's how it was in Devon today. But I had a good day. First short mat bowling which I love. It takes your mind off anything that is worrying you too. Then a lunch at the chapel for which a donation is given. This goes to missionary work. Then I had a nap. Next I got fired up to continue writing my sermon for June 21st. It just came so easily. They are usually the best. I'm a beginner so I like to keep well ahead with my sermon writing. My sermon for June 14th was originally written for June 7th, then there was a change of plan. The one for the 21st just needs prayers added now. Probably they are better added nearer the date.
