What a violent contrast and so we have to ask ourselves where was God in that inferno? How can one
situa9on be so lovely and another so horrendous? This is no 9me for pla9tudes, and yes of course we can
be angry with God, not least because he is bigger in all senses of the word than we are, but It behoves
us to think about the nature of God seriously. Who or what is he /she/it?
(By the way that is the sort of ques9on that the Buzz group ponders over).
AAer many years trying to work it out, I am coming to this conclusion. I truly believe that God is in
everything, not least because in some mysterious way he/she /it is the source of everything, and the
source and fount of everything is love. Whatever happens along the way , love is stronger than death.
Love does come to the fore at the 9me of great tragedy even more than at the 9me of great rejoicing.
What was the response of the people near the tower block? Love. They showed it by empathizing with
those caught up in the blaze and just kept on giving and helping in whatever way they could, and dare I
say , whichever God they worshipped . What was the response of the people near London Bridge on that
terrible night? Love; they kept on giving and suppor9ng and trying to help even thought they put their
own lives in danger . When we get angry with God for allowing these things to happen, just remember
that we are not robots: God didn’t want the fire to happen, and he didn’t want people to be stabbed to
death , and he doesn’t want us to suffer , but suffering is part of the human condi9on because we are not
robots and therefore accidents can happen, and people can make wrong decisions.
So today , thank God if you can for the beau9ful things that you see all around you, and then thank him
for your humanity and ask him to help you to understand and to go on loving.

Poulshot Friends & Neighbours
Thirteen of the Poulshot Friends and Neighbours met, at The Barge Inn at Seend, for
lunch on Tuesday 20th June. It was very hot and we were very appreciative to be seated
overlooking the canal by the window which let in a nice breeze.
It is such a shame that more of the Village do not join us in these excursions etc as we all
have a lovely time. The food was good and most of us went for things with salad!
If anyone has ideas of what might be of interest to the wider village population we would
be very glad to consider them.
Poulshot Friends and Neighbours Garden visit in July: This will be to Heale Gardens,
Heale House, Middle Woodford, Salisbury, SP4 6NT on Wednesday 19th July. We will
meet between 1-30pm to 2-00pm and will have a cream tea after our visit.
Could you please let Pam know (828151) if you are likely to be attending as we may need
to book for tea, we may also need to book if a large number are attending, so need to
know as soon as possible if you would like to attend.
We do need your support and I would like to remind everyone that the PF&N is open to everyone in
Poulshot and that we also welcome friends and visitors at a small charge.
If you have any ques4ons. please contact Pam Gillies on 828151 or Kate Hunloke on 828333
