I’m not perfect





Today has been very busy, I’ve had to juggle several things. I helped out a friend this morning which was easy because it just meant travelling down some pretty country lanes in glorious sunshine, popping to the village that has a petrol pump or two and then going for coffee at a garden centre.  On our return we watered the plant pots my friend had planted a couple of weeks ago. In the afternoon I played indoor bowls for two hours and promised to check arrangements for a match tomorrow when I got home.  This is where less than perfect came in.  I promptly forgot about the match.  I went in to watch T.V with my friend.  We particularly wanted to view “Tribe” about Ethiopians still living in huts.  It is fascinating to see how like us they are, which does not surprise me, people are people.  This programme showed a teenage girl acting up.  The young people there had all got mobile phones but had to go to town to recharge them. All this fascinating stuff had kept my mind away from bowls match, but when I came in to my flat there was a message on my phone and I immediately knew it was reminding me about the match.  Although it was late, 10 o’clock, I rang the other team and found that all was arranged and we could expect just the right number of people tomorrow.  I rang the friend who wanted to know the numbers but she had obviously gone to bed, so I left a message on her phone for the morning.  I hope I didn’t wake her. So I’m not perfect, I don’t remember everything, but all turned out well, such is the goodness of God.

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.

Life after death

When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.
