I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick
Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent and fool themselves that nothing bad will happen. I do not believe that people involved in disasters are more evil than the rest of us, but in this day of seismographs perhaps people could be given more warning of impending danger. I do wonder if the earth's dismay at the collective sin of us all is what causes it to rage and shudder. The earth waits for the salvation of God's people when all will be set right and a new earth created. Will you be a part of this? Only if you put your trust in Jesus (Whom Thomas declared to be "My Lord and my God" as the only way to salvation and acceptance by God.
