A Sad Day. Loss of the Alexandrov Ensemble.



From quite early in my life I have been aware of the Red Army Choir.  From the first time I heard them I was thrilled with their harmony and musicality.  I am but a poor musician but good enough to know just how good this choir has always been.  All over the world there will be people today, like me who mourn their loss.  How quickly joy and anticipation can turn to sorrow.  This will be keenest for their family members, but many people around the world will share that sorrow.  The Russian people are resilient after centuries of hardship and I am sure there will be those who will take on the challenge of re-building such a great choir again, not the same but of equal musicality. I saw on the T.V. this morning a lead singer from the choir who had stayed behind for family reasons.  My wish for him is that he would take a lead role in re-building the choir in memory of the friends he has lost.

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.

Persecution of the sick in Britain

The British government, through the benefits system is persecuting thousands of people who are not fit to work, giving them very skimpy benefits. People who are not able to work for health reasons are not able to stand up for themselves. The goverment will answer to God when the suicides happen. People were treated in this way back in the Old Testament. Then exile was the result for the perpetrators. Something equally as bad will happen to those in power today. The churches should be aware that there are people in need and set up soup kitchens for these people.Many are in this position through no fault of their own. They should be helped not looked down upon.

Persevering

Sometimes it's hard to keep going with something we have started. A little setback can get in the way of trying to do something good. I want these thoughts to touch your heart and make you think things through. However as I cannot tell if anyone has read them unless you comment, I get disheartened and feel I am a voice calling in the wilderness. But who can tell who might light upon this page and be really encouraged or helped in their journey of life. If only one person was helped it would all be worthwhile. If you have been helped in any way by this blog do make a comment.I could do with some encouraging too.You can find more thoughts like these at this link A thought for each day
