I have been learning Russian for more than a year now. Like most Brits I am shy of using another language other than English. I desperately want to, but it is just too easy to let the other person speak English, especially when they are so accomplished at it. Today, however, I had an encouraging experience; at the bus stop was a lady and after a while I said something to her in English, naturally. She indicated that she did not speak English. I asked if she was Polish, she said Lithuanian. A light dawned and in Russian I asked if she spoke Russian and she did and a little conversation took place between us which we otherwise could not have had. I have a Russian friend but she speaks excellent English so the incentive to use Russian is just not there. I need to get out of my cozy little village and find some Russian speaking people who are not good at English. Two things could happen; I could improve my Russian and now as I am a qualified teacher of English as a foreign language, they could improve their English, always with the proviso that they continue to speak Russian with me.
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.
