People that are full of judgment and bitterness and refuse to offer compassion and mercy to others. As a therapist, I have a hard time repairing relationships when these traits pervail.

I have a deep sense of sadness when I hear believers talk about the idea of coexisting and being tolerant of other religions. It is interesting that we find a lot of Christians who feel that they are wrong in sharing that CHRIST is the only Way to GOD. Sometimes I believe this happens because we are a culture who avoids confrontation or friction. I thank JESUS, HE did not avoid confrontation or friction!

The volcanic ash is likely to be good in the long run. It will spread out around the globe and bring down temperatures. So it will serve to counteract global warming.
I have written an e-book entitled “Bible Meteorology”. It tries to synthesize the precepts of modern meteorology with what the Bible said about the weather thousands of years ago. You can read it at http://biblemet.wordpress.com

Most of my life, I have figured out important news “after the fact”. I am usually the last one to find out when someone is pregnant, or my dad got a new job, or my sister was arrested, etc. My motto has become “well nobody told me!” This is a source of continued frustration for me, not being “in the loop”. I always think, “well maybe if I had known right away, I could have done something to help or stop it, etc.”
Recently someone put my frustration into words as having “survivor’s guilt syndrome”. I feel that if I had been informed while the event was occurring, I could have done something to influence it. But, looking back on many situations where I wasn’t told information until way later, I realized that by knowing right then probably wouldn’t have been the best thing. The people who needed to know, did, and they were the ones who were equipped to deal with the situation. It really comes down to trusting God. I need to trust him that sometimes me “not knowing” is for the best…

Trusting God is hard sometimes. We want to trust ourselves. I pray that God will give me the wisdom to trust Him.
