The heat wave has me wondering...How about you?
The heat wave is unbearable Like standing in a hot oven Sweat pours like rain So bad the humidity Even toilets pour forth sweat From their ceramic shells! Sirens dashing back and forth Dehydrated and elderly Hospital bound A bewildering state Of affairs! Then at last relief arrives In the form of an ugly thunder storm Clouds turn black and ominous Lightning flash in rapid succession Suddenly the crash of thunder The frightened dart under beds for cover As rain in torrents pelt from heaven And so the symphony continues Conducted by the crocked wand Of lightning strikes! Newscasters at night describe the same In near and faraway places Tornadoes touchdown Wreaking havoc in its wake Broken houses, fallen trees, raging floods Displaced people running scared and looking disheveled Is this further warning of end time prophecy Is it another chance for man to repent Is it time to stop and consider The prophecies foretold Or is man still bent on saying �Disasters have always happened. It�s just that modern technology Makes media coverage more Widespread and news More accessible!� But aren�t disasters becoming increasingly intense And now present itself right At your doorstep? �Be ye therefore ready also; for the son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.� (Luke 12:40KJV)

It has been so hot here too during the past several days. One of which to the extreme of 47 celcius, and the humidity was unbearable. There were also tornadoes that lifted one of my co-worker's roof, a tree had fallen, but luckily it did not land on her house; otherwise you can imagine the damages are going to be far worse.

Global warming has lead the world to many disastrous events. One just doesn't know when the next disaster is going to hit.

And mens hearts failing them for those things they see coming upon the earth.

Like a woman in travail, birth pangs more intense and closer together. Soon something will be birthed.

Israel - in the end days a cup of trembling, and a troublesome stone.

Everything that can be shaken will be shaken in order to reveal those things that cannot be shaken.

Come quickly Lord Jesus!

I'm a firm believer that the globe is warming. I also belive the news at 6 is a narrow eye, focused on the sensational story of the moment, however preposterious.

Lena,

At least you're getting rain...we can't buy any. Parts of the nation are drowning; others are burning; surely, we're in the end times. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

But aren�t disasters becoming increasingly intense
And now present themselves right
At your doorstep!
Are your lamps full of oil?

I think they are; and my lamps are ready. I think we all better be prepared for what lies ahead, these days.

You painted a dark picture, there but somehow turned it into light. Well said. I always believed that one mans condemnation can be another mans salvation. How is this possible? Trust the Lord and you know.
God Bless,
