New Interests

I'm sorry I've not written here for a while.    I have been finishing off my online course in teaching English as a foreign language.  I have now passed the 120-online course and received my certificate.  What comes next?  Well, I am redoubling my efforts to learn Russian.  I recently reached a log jam situation where I knew all sorts of thing, but they had all become jumbled like a log jam on a Canadian river when the logs are being floated down the river and get stuck.  I now have to tease these bits of knowledge apart and make sense of them again. It is the sort of situation where one could easily give up. Well now of course, I hope to find some people who need to improve their English.  All sorts of interesting people could surface here.  I like to think that I could help someone in a low paid boring job learn enough English to be able to do something more interesting.  It could be a life changer for them and more interesting than  retirement for me. How do you keep your brain in working order?  Use it or lose it!!

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
