Now that you know I am not perfect you will understand why I
tell you not to follow me. You need to
follow the Bible and the only way to do that is to read it often. I have read my Bible every day for large
portions of my life, starting when I was seven years old and now i am 68. How fortunate I am to have been blessed in
this way, but you can start now whatever your age. This is the only book that
can tell you who God is and what he requires of us humans. Start with Psalm 103 which speaks of God’s
loving kindness to His people. Of course you can learn from other Christians but
always check what we say against the Bible.
The versions I would recommend are the King James, if you can cope with
oldy worldy language, the New King James, the English Standard version, or the
New English Translation. All can be
found online. Happy reading.
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...
