All because of Kindle

Beware when you look at Kindle for a free book to download, you never know where it will lead.  About eighteen months ago  I decided to look for a free read on Kindle.  Browsing through the titles I came across a book on Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia. This is someone I had often thought of reading about and so I downloaded the e-book.  I enjoyed the book and went on to another free read about Peter the Great of Russia.  I found him a fascinating character.  By now I was interested in the common people of Russia as they were the ones who built St Petersburg and the boats for the country's navy, although it seems that Peter was also hands on when it came to making a navy. Russia was beginning to get into my blood.  At the time I was wasting a lot of time playing Spider Solataire on my PC.  I decided to look for something more beneficial to do with my time.  That is when I decided to learn Russian!!  Surely this was a good way to understand the people of Russia better.  I turned to the internet and looked for free courses and found Byki4 also known as Transparent language.  This uses flash cards and audio. Soon I knew a lot of vocabulary but not much grammar.  tomorrow I will continue the story.

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
