When making a difficult decision the playing out of the
consequences are necessarily sometimes protracted, so that commitments are
kept, while pulling away from one path to follow another. It is always best to
fully consider the consequences of the change over a good length of time or you
might find yourself flitting from one path to another for no good reason. As a Christian you should always reflect with
much prayer on the coming possible change.
We are here to serve our Lord, not to follow our own whims. Pain is
involved but that pain will help lead us in the right path.
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...
