Last night when watching the news about the earthquakes in Japan, it just makes me wonder what more is to come... When you see the waters raging over the towns and not caring what or who is in the way... We think we have it all figured out and that we have control over what happens in our lives and then something like this happens out of nowhere... There is no amount of preparation that will prepare a person for so much loss and destruction...
What I was thinking at the time when watching this on the news is that they are taping all the cars, homes and such and one reporter is leaving out that in those homes are families with kids, people, animals and whatever else... Every car or house that washed away could have atleast one life or more in them... The human loss just blows my mind and how the reporters are thinking about the property loss... Granted it is important, but gees... Then there is the nuclear issue and the leaking of that... Wow...
Then I think about the end times and how such events like this will be small compared to what is to come... I can honestly say I can't wait for that day to come... I will be more than happy to know that Christ has come back... If it happened right now, that would have been too long of a wait... But then I wonder how many lost people are out there that doesn't understand what is going on and that they need to make a choice now... I have been in a kinda weird place personally, not really with my faith, but with other things... But when something like this happens, I can't help but take notice...
When disasters happen, everyone or atleast those who knows what the Bible says will think this is it... But hasn't these things been happening over and over in the past? I often wonder if the reason we see more happening now is because of the Internet and CNN... These things weren't publicized like they are now... My thoughts and prayers are with all those around the world that are affected by this earthquake and the tsunami that is ongoing...
In closing, my thoughts are kinda negative and positive on this...That all depends on how you look at it and where your faith lays... It would be nice to just have it all done and over with in one fell swoop, but then sad to see so much loss and pain for what would be for hundreds of thousands of people... I am anxiously awaiting for the Second Coming and I am hoping that all of these things are adding up to that time...

Some Rambling Thoughts
This blog will be about a couple things. I have just been thinking about a few things. So going to post them all here, or atleast some of them.
1. The most important reason for this post is for prayers for some missionaries that our church supports.
Craig and Allison Fowler and their children are Missionaries in Ethiopia and have been coming across some spiritual warfare and your prayers are needed. Here in the states we don't get the kind of opposition they get in other countries. There are some wonderful praise reports coming from the Fowlers though. They are telling stories to the gumuz people. God has been working in their lives and things are going great. But like I said,at the same time Satan is working on them. So please keep them in your prayers. During our Mission Moment they stated the types of opposition, but I can't remember what it was. Either way, it is Satan being his normal bad self and they need to have protection and prayers.
2. I have some people that have been wondering how I have been doing. I have been really tired. More so then normally, but I am ok for the most part. Although some won't agree with me on that. I think mainly I am just way tired and the summer heat is getting to me more then usual. I am chugging along and doing what needs to be done. I don't really post medical things too much on my blogs though since it is so complicated and gets people worried. Plus you never know who comes and reads the blogs, so I am a bit careful on what I post on here. But as of now, I am hanging in, just tired.
3. It really ticks me off when I read or listen to the news and so many people are hurting their own kids of families. People have no contious. Not all people, but the ones that are doing these things have to be of Satan himself.
4. I am sooooooooo looking forward to the Second Coming of Christ. I pray that all people who have heard about Christ, has accepted Christ before it is too late. I can only imagine what it is going to be like when Christ comes again or what heaven will be like. Just think about the peace that there will be there and to worship with Christ Himself. That will be an awesome day. I do worry about those that I love and care about and if they have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We are told that there will be no pain or suffering in heaven. When I think of this, I wonder if we will have the memories of those that we love that won't be there. Will their memories be wiped from our minds. It would seem that it would be way sad if we remembered them and loved and they weren't where we were. I think in this months newsletter I will post the question about this. I have wondered this many times. Usually others post questions, but I think I will add one of my own on this one.
Ok, ow I am done for now. So I will go and as I feel better, I will post more. Even though I think I will add a video of my dogs on here.
God Bless and have a good day
