Tonight Anne I told you not to call God “the man upstairs.” If you were referring to Father God I was
right as He is too wonderful to be described as a man. However if you were referring to Jesus you
were quite right because He became man in order to save us. He is fully God and fully man. Always think
these things through for yourself and don’t take another person’s word for it. Don’t
idolize someone who appears to know more than you do. God can show you things that I have never
thought of. Keep close to 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...
