Afraid of Technology

I have many friends about my age who simply cannot cope with computers and the like.  For me it was just an interesting challenge.  Before blogging I used to write on Squidoo and there I needed to upload photos.I loved doing that.  My best teacher was my daughter because I would say, "How do I do .....?" and she would reply, "Oh mother find out for yourself.!!" And I did.  Previously I went to a short course in the local town and got the basics from that.  It was just a matter of working through a book with very little input from the teacher.  That's the thing with computers you just have to experiment. Don't let the bounder win!! The annoying thing about computers is that you can do something in about six different ways.  You can use ctrl and P to print or go to file and find print.  I know that is only two ways, but I think there are more. A friend of 77 recently bought a smart phone and I am very pleased with how he is getting on with it, even though he accidentally phoned me at midnight when I was sleeping.I think it's the women in my area who are less inclined to be computer literate.  I live in a country area and I think the prevailing attitude is,"I got through all of my life so far without computers. Why start now."No doubt they will get by.

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
