A reminder to read.....
Upon receiving an email from Dr John Ling I thought about all the things I had read in his book and how useful it was and still is. I have therefore uploaded a picture of the wonderful book itself and remind those who have not read it that they really should. It is a poignant reminder of the times we live in and the depths to which the human race can sink morally and believe God does not see. Surely we are living in the last days when the value of human life is so low and spiritual things are trampled underfoot. There is a disregard and unbelief that we are created beings made in the image of almighty God. How long can He endure the wholesale destruction of life which is His to give and take?
On the same line the idea of elder abuse sickens me. It is again the complete disrepect and hate of life and the ability to inflict emotional and physical harm to those who are weak and helpless. Some of the most enjoyable nursing I have been part of has been the care of elderly patients. They have so much knowledge and wisdom and those who have not been made bitter by the hardships of life are some of the loveliest people I have met. Unfortunately most of them are unsaved and I know many have passed into the next life without knowing their creator. This deeply unsettles me and I pray that I may be given the opportunities to witness to those I care for.
Help the aged are trying to get carers registered to prevent abuse. The petition is available on line for those interested in signing it at www.iwill.co.uk

I recently met a social worker from Canada who was shocked at the low status of carers in a UK residential home. She said that at home carers are all qualified nurses. You certainly won't get the best care if those working are just doing it as a job for needed cash, and for whom the elderly are a nuisance. How much better it could all be.
Woo hooo! Go Nutty...you'll be famous soon! I MUST read that book...it keeps staring at me from the bookcase. I heard Dr Ling speak....most challenging.
I asked him to forward any details of any talks he is giving because I would like to hear him speak. Where did you hear him?
