I have been away for a few days with no wifi. This is why I have written no posts. Sometimes it is good to get away from the news. Nothing has happened in the world that I could do anything about. Some people have to miss the news altogether or they have terrible problems worrying about it and I would recommend that those people do just that. In the days before television and radio we all got along fine without knowing what was happening until it was well and truly over. I find I can watch the news and not be upset, but actually I feel this is not a good state to be in. Obviously I have become De-sensitised to the truly awful things happening in our world, Every time I think about this I am alarmed that I can calmly watch other human beings suffering and am little moved by it, at least on the surface. Although the world is shrinking the hurricanes in the Caribbean and U.S.A. seem far away. If I am not careful I can think these things cannot happen here. It is true that the U.K. does not have hurricanes or earthquakes on the scale other countries have. Does this mean that Britain is better than elsewhere? No we certainly deserve the worst for the way we have turned our back on God. Now I am not suggesting that God is punishing anyone with hurricanes and earthquakes. These phenomena are the result of the collective sin of all humans, so along with everyone else I have a part in the responsibility for the suffering caused in the Caribbean and U.S.A. tonight. We all affect one another, are all responsible for one another. We all need to repent. God often brings good out of disaster and I pray that He will do this now. For those affected who already know Jesus as their Saviour remember, He is with you always. If you have Him you have everything. You may have lost your earthly possessions but no one can take away from you your eternal life and the glory we shall have in heaven when we meet with our dear Saviour.
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...
