Progress with my vision





Today I visited the consultant for a check up.  All is well and my eye is progressing.  One thing he did really helped me.  He took a lens and told me to hold it up to my eye.  What a wonderful moment, I could see.  It proved what I have been telling myself that my eye is in good working order but just has one important missing component, the lens. I still have to wait 4 to 6 weeks for the lens to be implanted, I think it’s because my eye is still too inflamed.  I have a range of drops to use throughout each day to aid the healing process. I can’t drive or play bowls at the moment but life is very full. It takes something like this to make one realize how important our sight is.  Also I realize what a healthy life I have had.  The day I had my second operation a little girl I know who has cystic fibrosis was having an op to remove excess mucous.  She had to stay in for several days.  I can hardly complain at my time of life if I am beginning to fall apart!!
God is good and I have felt His presence with me at this time.

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.
