A fascinating Russian

To improve my pronunciation and vocabulary I decided to watch Russian T.V. online. While doing this I came across a wonderful Russian.  He is a fifteen year-old boy(then 14) who was taking part in Russian T.V.'s version of The Voice. His name is Danil Pluzhnikov.  He is an amazing singer who sings with passion and emotion unusual in one so young.  He is someone who has suffered himself and knows how to express great emotion and empathy because of this. Danil suffers from a form of dwarfism.  He is 98cms tall that is 3foot2ins. He has problems walking. But Danil does not sit down and let life beat him, instead he sings to comfort and help.  Recently after the St. Petersburg terror attack Danil sang to a huge crowd in Moscow who had come together to show support for their sister city.  I attach a link to this below.  Danil is an important part of my gradual determination to go to his country. In this link Danil sings about rising above problems. " People may beat us down but still we fly." This could be the song of all Russians.  through adversity they still continue to flourish.

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.
