The evening is ticking by and I've turned the T.V. off. It's time to think. The silence sings in my ears, well actually it's tinnitus, but I am fortunate, it is not an intrusive, unpleasant kind. Sometimes it takes the form of music, pretty much like Glen Miller and his big band. I used to think my neighbour was thoughtlessly playing music at 2 a.m. Once I found out it was my own Big Band I made friends with it and it lulls me to sleep. So many things in life are not so bad if you think them through and accept what is. The problem with noisy neighbours is often with you. The more you fret the worse it seems and you get yourself all steamed up. Of course we should all expect to have a quiet life and people should be considerate. In Britain we had a sitcom called "One foot in the grave." The main character was an older man, Victor Meldrew, who was very grumpy and took great offence at the lack of consideration of others, but consequently worked himself up into a right old state. Sometimes it's best to "go with the flow" and accept a little inconvenience.
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.
