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 watched The Detectorists tonight. I have not watched it before. It is about a group of people who use detecting equipment to discover old coins and other things of archeological interest. This was the last in the series and had a bitter sweet feel to it. One of the main characters asked,"Why do we do it?" and the other replied,"This is the nearest you will ever get to time travel." You have to be an optimist to do metal detecting. There is always the attraction of making a big find or an important discovery. Among all the tin cans and coat hangers found there is the hope of a Saxon hoard, or Roman gold. Optimism keeps them going.
