Who is really mad?




Is it the people who have depression and can only see the black side of things or is it those of us who are filling our lives with trivia?  While they see the true horror of what is happening in our world most of us are collecting gadgets that we feel we must have.  We are frittering our lives away in meaningless activity, all to keep us blinkered from the atrocities of the day. We block our ears and our hearts to the truth about life and fill our days with doing something, anything, to stop us having to face up to the truth.  What is this truth, it is the fact that the world is full of wickedness ranging from the devastation and horror of war which we think in the West we can turn o0ur backs on, to the horror of the killing of unborn babies which is largely condoned in our society, but nevertheless is murder. All this is done by a world that rejects its Creator, denies His existence.  But God is not mocked, whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap.  There will be a day when all we have done or condoned will have to be accounted for before God.  Take this to heart and you will be worried, and so you should.  However if we come to Jesus for forgiveness we will find it.  He promises to forgive anyone who comes to Him now.  One day it will be too late.

Always wanting something new

Every time I take a few days off from my blog my ratings slump.  Very rarely do people go back into my old posts and read again.  This is a typical attitude of the human heart, always wanting something different.  At this time of year we should not be greedily wondering want new thing we will be getting for Christmas.  Instead we should be looking at the old, old story, which is ever new of a baby who amazingly was God incarnate, God's gift to those who will put there trust in this one who was to grow up to give His life for His people.  Set aside the controversy over whether December 25th is the actual date of His birth.(Shepherds do not keep their sheep out at night in Israel in December.) and set aside time to think about the fact that He did come and ponder if He came to set you free and if your answer is ,"Yes," He will make you free indeed.

Why do many disasters happen?

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...

Optimism conquering experience

I watched The Detectorists tonight. I have not watched it before. It is about a group of people who use detecting equipment to discover old coins and other things of archeological interest. This was the last in the series and had a bitter sweet feel to it.  One of the main characters asked,"Why do we do it?" and the other replied,"This is the nearest you will ever get to time travel." You have to be an optimist to do metal detecting.  There is always the attraction of making a big find or an important discovery.  Among all the tin cans and coat hangers found there is the hope of a Saxon hoard, or Roman gold. Optimism keeps them going.
