Have you ever noticed?





When you are waiting for someone to come and they are late, just get involved in something that makes it difficult for you to answer the door, or at least not wanting to answer the door.  That’s what I am doing now, getting myself involved in writing a blog.  I’m waiting for the Tesco delivery which should have been here between nine and ten p.m. and it’s now ten thirty.  Of course I can stop and answer the door.  I suppose really I ought to go to the toilet and then for sure the bell would go just as I had reached that point of no return.  Do you shout and scream at the delivery man when this happens to you?  I don’t.  After all it’s a pretty thankless task, on the minimum wage.  There are so many pitfalls like diversions on the country lanes where it is so difficult to find one’s way.  I do know there is a hole in the road on our chief lane.  I expect that is the problem tonight. When it gets to ten forty-five I will ring the office if I still don’t have my delivery.  Of course I won’t starve.  As my daughter would say, “You’ve got a first world problem.” No I won’t starve. The last time this happened the worst I did to the young man who delivered was to give him a small book about Jesus, well it was close to Christmas.  I wonder what he did with it.

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.
