I think we can all find things of great importance in the original doc. And thanks to you, we can get back to discussing them again.

For some reason, I've found myself thinking about this a lot today. Perhaps it's just that the weather is very turbulent and ominous looking, or that I've been working too hard (at my real job, not Freeping!), but I find that my mind keeps going back to some of the things that the preacher mentioned in his talks. Some times more than others, one does get the feeling of a gathering storm.

INDEED.

And more so with the passing months. The trend lines are not infinite. They have probable and finite upper limits in time.

Now is the time to walk closely with God. Order one's affairs and words arright as much as remotely workable, with God's help.

Thanks for your kind words.

Well, the clouds are gathering. Walter Cronkite has decided, along with a lot of the MSM and not a few here on FR, that all religion needs to be banished from public life. Couple that with the full court press against Christianity in general that has been gathering steam for some time now, and it is understandable to be a bit worried.

But such things have come before, and we have been a lot "closer" before in regards to plagues, war, and famine. I was talking of this very thing last night with my bride, and she said something very simple.

"If that happens, then we get to be martyrs and go to Heaven to meet Jesus".
