The old saying that no one can control the weather is still as true today as ever before. Dispite man's fabulous technology ... phone company still can't find a system that withstand wind, rain, or clear weather for that matter. But, we're back on track after several frustrating days.

I haven't decided if it pays to keep up with the news. It could be very easy to get caught up in the political propaganda and allow the "fear mongers" to keep us looking over our shoulders in fear & distrust; but if viewed through the filter of God's Word, I think we should keep a wary eye on what's going on around us. We live in the 2ed greatest time in the history of the world. (the 1st being the period when Christ walked as man). We are literally seeing the prophecies of the Bible come to pass. As a sojourner, it's just the road map to tell us that we're headed in the foretold direction.

But, where the rubber meets the road ... there are some things going on out there that sadden me to tears. As you probably know by now, it's becoming very popular to bash Christians these days, (verbally & literally). People are dying for telling others about Christ ... and I'm not talking about 3rd world or socialist countries. It's happening right here in America. An elderly woman was beaten to death a few weeks ago for telling a homosexual man about Jesus. Will he be prosecuted? It doesn't look like it at this point. I think he's claiming "self-defense" or something.

Will this become more common? I'm afraid so. As we travel closer to the end of our path to heaven, we will be facing things that we, as American, have never had to face before.

Jesus said, "And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved." Matthew 10:22

Take heart dear friends, He knows what we are going through and will be with us through it all. Stand tall - we are children of The Most High God and He will watch over us. He has given us our map and has sent us a guide & companion  for the trip. We will be fine ... but just make sure that others along the way can see we are children of the King and not tools of the devil.

May the Lord clear the path ahead and bless you with a safe journey.
