So much has been happening in the world lately that it's very difficult to keep up with everything. I'm so glad we have Twitter for the news updates and headlines. I'm most grateful for the prophecy-based understanding that God has given to us to enable us to understand the timeline of events as they all lead up to the return of Jesus Christ and that God has given us Mr. Gerald Flurry and the ministers to spread abroad these messages.
Today I changed my Twitter background. I can get lost in all the various kinds of backgrounds that are available on a site called "Themelon" which is accessible through the "settings" area of Twitter. I love all the different themes. Many of them are not as good as others, so I have to weed through them all to find ones that I like. But I finally found one this morning that looks kind of fall-ish to me in the colors although the theme contains flowers. Perhaps I should consider changing my blog background too...nah, too much trouble.
This past Sunday Anna and JP and their children came to visit with me. I really did enjoy all of their company. It was such fun to be with little children. Anna did some things to be of help to me while she was here that meant a lot to me. Thank you, Anna. They had brought some doughnuts and I made some coffee. The children enjoyed "Jane and the Dragon" programs on "On Demand" and Anna and I enjoyed a lot of chatting. Poor JP might have felt a little left out of all the conversation, but he was a good sport about it all.
Then I had a visit from my minister and his wife on Sunday. We also had some good conversation. That was followed by a visit from someone else not in the church and some phone calls during the week as well. It's been a busy time for me and lots of fun too.
I have a problem with swelling in my left foot that won't go away. I have an appointment to see a doctor to have it diagnosed this coming Wednesday. I have been trying to keep it elevated as much as I can, but it's painful and that makes it difficult for me to leave it elevated for very long. It's has swelled up so much that I can't even get a shoe onto it right now. I'm going to ask the doctor for a prescription adjustable boot to wear on it until it's better so I can leave the house again. I've been stuck inside for too long with this.
This past Tuesday night I watched some of the election returns but not all of them. I figured that I would know in the morning so why force myself to stay up until all hours of the morning just to find out. I thought that no matter which one of the two got elected it would not be good. They are only men and can't correct the problems in this country. We are going down hard and fast.
But I kind of hoped that Mr. Romney would get elected. At the same time, I knew that chances were Mr. Obama would be elected again because he is doing such a smash-bang job of tearing our nation down quickly by his actions. I don't think that our God could have picked a better man in this end of time to bring America to its knees as we begin to experience the start of the Great Tribulation, the outer edges of it anyway.
It's like the world has gone wild. They are calling evil good and good evil just as God told us in His word that the world would. Tropical storm, Sandy, was another part of the outer edges most likely. God is trying to get mankind to see that something is very wrong with their thinking. I feel very sorry for the people who were devastated by the effects of Sandy, but it's about time to wake up and realize that we are a sinful nation. We like to think we are good, but by whose standard? Our own thinking--or God"s? According to the Bible, God doesn't see anything good in this nation at all. That's why it will take the Tribulation to wake people up.
It's hard to envision why people would vote Obama back into office again when everything is as bad as it is mostly due to his lack of real leadership for our nation. It's all politics. But evidently people are so blind that they think that the evil that Obama has perpetrated on America is good, just as the Bible says. I bet that even Obama was surprised when he was re-elected, if he were honest enough to tell the actual truth, which he never would.
It's time to get ready for some very hard times ahead of us. It's time to get very close to God.
