Ah, a cool morning in the hot season! The cat is eating his foot; the smoky smell of wildfires haunts the atmosphere, and the wheat harvest begins any day now.
Does it seem to you that we are governed more by the exception than the rule these days? A kidnapping happened back when, so parents are background checked to deliver their kids to a summer camp. No one dare touch a kid that is not their own, and sometimes even if it is their own. One person misuses a certain flag, so all must give it up to the demands of the mob. Examples abound of the few having power over the many in various ways. Organizations and companies throughout the land must live 'checking their six' as the pilots say, to make sure, as best they can, that they are not sued. Truly we live in an age of the offended few crying with a loud and at times powerful voice. There seems to be no understanding or empathy in many cases. Businesses are forced to go against their principles, religious or otherwise, through the power of the state wielded at the behest of a few outraged voices.
None of that should surprise those who believe in Christ. We were warned that the world would hate us. We can read the prophecies of rulers gone loony in the end times. I'm not telling you anything you don't know already from your watching the signs and study of the scriptures. All we need to know is that the return of Jesus must be close indeed in this age. Looking to the skies will soon be a Christian pastime, if it isn't already. Our great hope draws near!
Have a happy day in Christ!Bucky
