Well. that's it for another week of 'fun-filled' news ..... record-breaking drought in the Southland .. chaos in the streets of the world's cities - the Ukraine, Brazil, Turkey, Egypt, Iraq, Thailand .... the list grows by the day ..

and then of course the 'Fukushima' thing just isn't going away .. more leaks of deadly radioactive water, and now American sailors claiming life-threatening illnesses ... sadly, this is just the beginning of this ever-growing pestilence .....



As for the world's economy, today's Wall Street dive is just a glimpse of what is about to come  ... and then couple it with the ever-increasing political & moral divide in this nation .... did we ever think we would see the day where a governor of a state would say that anyone who doesn't support the 'gay' movement, or abortion should leave his state ... or  a president come out with statements supporting abortion, or downplaying the dangers of marijuana? .... I agree with Joel Rosenberg when he said that our nation will implode .. meaning that God's judgement will fall upon this land! 



OK .. I'm outta here for another week. ... Let's be sure and keep praying for one another in these increasing difficult days. ... Lord knows we will all need it more than ever! ... I love you all, and appreciate your support .

..... so ......



Until next time,
