Last week I pulled up the drawbridge and went into hibernation. Everything was just too much for me. I'm not proud of this reaction to problems but it seems to work for me. After a week of not knowing why I was doing this, sleeping more or less night and day, I faced up to my problems. Someone suggested coffee might help, I had a cup and started to perk up. I was brought up not to make a fuss and this leads me to saying everything is fine when it is not. Now that I've come out of the womb again I can kick myself into shape and face the world. After all my problems are minute compared with those of others. "Where was your faith?" I hear you say and you may get a handbag across your head for saying it. When did faith ever make life easy. Faith causes you to face battles when you least want to. Faith is tough to exercise and sometimes the battle is fierce and you need a ditch to lie in to recover. So look at your own faith before you question mine. Maybe you will join me in a welcome ditch sometime.
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.
