Today I drove my car to the village where I could catch the
bus to Exeter. In Britain retired people
can travel free on the buses!! In Exeter I had a small meal for lunch. I looked around a few shops but resisted
buying anything because now I am on a mission to save enough money to go to
Russia next year. It’s amazing what you
can do without when you have a special purpose.
The whole purpose of my journey was to meet members of the Exeter/Yaroslavl
Twinning Association. They were to meet
in the museum. I am one of those people
who cannot bear to be late for anything, so I got there very early and browsed
through the museum’s exhibits. I arrived at the museum cafe designated as the
meeting place about ten minutes early and kept prowling through until at last I
saw some ladies putting two tables together and I guessed they must be members
and so I approached them and yes they were members of the Association. Eventually there were about six or seven of
us. One lady was fluent in Russian and
she spoke to me in Russian to see how much I understood. I was delighted by that and was amazed to
know that she knew my village some twenty miles away. The next meeting I intend
to go to is a Russian conversation afternoon. I am thrilled with all we
discussed and the possibilities of improving my Russian. It has been an
exciting day and now I need to chill out and calm down ready for a good night’s
sleep.
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.
