I

just hope and pray everybody is hunkered down and trying to do the best they can to get through these times.

I really do.

Got a lil bit to talk about.

I'm sure it's gonna not make some people happy but...

Comes with the territory.

A teller of truth has no friends I heard somewhere.

Anyway.

I did a post a while back.

About signs along the way,

that people might have missed.

leading us up to the current cataclysmic state of affairs.

I forgot to mention,

Locust swarms.

I've since edited that post, so they are included.

I

Locust swarms.

Of all the signs to miss in that piece.

The thing is?

Those swarms are what gave it away to me.

And my buddy.

And maybe some more people.

But probably not very many.

I remember just smiling, 

asking God when I was reading and writing about the swarms etc.

I said:

"Don't you think that makes it a lil obvious 

what times were embarking on?"

He said:

"Nope.

They won't even notice."

And most?

Surely didn't.

My buddy nailed it.

Just absolutely, nailed it.

As good as anybody is ever going to.

He said:

"The only thing people should be worried about is their soul
and where its going to spend eternity."

and he is 100% absolutely correct.

So here is some friendly advice:

When you're sitting in a cold house that you used to own, 

with no heat,

no food,

no money,

no job,

barely 

any hope,

barely enough gas

to get to the store and scrounge up 35 cents

for a cup of noodles?

Here is what you do.

Caused it worked for me.

It's worked for others.

And I promise you it will work for you.

Call out and seek the Lord God.

Praise, his holy name in any and all situations.

Give him thanks

for the lesson in humility

he has bestowed upon us.

Give thanks for the blessings of time and solitude too

(Thank you honey, love your lines sweetheart :-).

Pray like you've never prayed.

And always always always

 lift up everybody else's needs

and rarely if ever,

your own.

Do it

all the time 

everyday.

Believe it.

That is the whole key.

Do it.

Watch and see.

What happens to you and yours.

And one other thing.

When you are driving around in the future

With your children's children.

And they ask you?

"Why are all the stores and shops closed 

and boarded up grandpa/grandma?

Here is what you tell them:

Well child,

 man grew to arrogant.

Yet again.

He didn't think he was God.

He thought he was greater than God.

So he worshiped the idols of  

money, entertainment, and technology.

Then finally one day God said you know what?

Enough.

Here.

Covid-19

Game changer.

The lesson was:

Humble yourselves before God.

Accept the truth of what is.

Were not in charge of anything.

Were still recovering child.

And the fact is, 

we may never fully recover

till the end of time comes.

I love you baby.
