First of all- I’ve started my new job and it’s exhausting. I’ve just been too tired to write. I like my job though. I have to get up at 4AM which is an adjustment as that is normally the time I’d be going to sleep. It’s also very physical in a different way than McDonalds was and way different from ministry. Tucker, before long I’ll be able to keep up with you on the farm!
Now, the end of the world. I recently read of a leading scientist/professor who was warning of the coming bird-flu. He claims millions will die. The economy, industry and production will be destroyed as a result. To make his point he claims to have stockpiled three months worth of food, supplies and medicine at his house. I don’t know where he went to school but he doesn’t seem too bright to me. If his claims come true the last thing I would want my hungry, desperate neighbors to know is I have a large supply of food hidden in my house. Desperately hungry people with desperately hungry children will do desperately violent things to fill their bellies. I hope he has enough common sense to have stockpiled some big guns too.
And don’t get me started on global warming. I’m sick to death of hearing about it. I’m not saying I believe it’s fiction. Nor am I saying I believe it’s a fact. Who am I to know? Academics, scientists, the weather people, etc. don’t even agree. According to Al Gore and others the polar ice caps will soon melt and humanity will be destroyed unless we all start driving cars that only rich people can afford to purchase. The rest of us will be fated to ride bikes or horses which will create a different sort of “natural pollution” in our city streets. Of course that pollution can be dried out and used as fuel in our cookstoves to prepare our $40.00 a pound all natural, holistic beef. Assuming we’re still allowed to eat cows.
Have you ever thought about this- what some are calling global warming may have another name to God. Maybe He calls it PREHEAT.
I know this for a fact. Al Gore and others are dead wrong. The world will not end as they claim. Whether by nuclear weapons or some mis-use of the environment the end of the world will not brought about by mans bumbling and fumbling.
but the present heavens and earth by His Word are being RESERVED for fire, KEPT for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. II Peter 3:7
Here is a money back gurantee – The “reservation” for the earth’s destruction will never be revoked or cancelled by the will, desires or actions of humanity. Bank on it!
Meanwhile, while everyone else is stockpiling supplies or pedaling to work I’m gonna be singing a little song by the group REM – It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
P.S. We have a mini-forest and field behind our house. Lots of critters. Just as I was about to post this my wife told me we had a mouse cruising around our kitchen floor. I’m very dramatic so hitting it with a broom is just too boring for me. Ten feet away – tiny target – pellet gun – one shot- mouse dead! Whoo! Hoo! It appears in the coming crisis, after we’ve eaten our dogs, Amy and I will have plenty to eat. There’s good hunting right in our kitchen. Just don’t tell anyone. Goodnight!

“Preheat” … funny.
Glad to have you back. Even if it’s every now and then.
PS – I won’t tell the PETA people about the mouse
That is funny! My brother (at the peak of the Y2K drama) said he was going to sit on top of his house with a shotgun if all the dire things that were predicted came true. He said “Forget stocking up on food…I’m stocking up on ammo to protect what I have!!”
I am with you on the global warming etc….I know that God is in control of all that and driving a hybrid Gore-mobile isn’t going to stop the destruction that God is going to bring in His good time.
Glad to see you back here…write when you can!
Thanks guys and gals.
Craig,
Maybe I missed it – did you say what your new job is? I’m curious.
I’m a drug mule. All legal. I meet a semi-truck at 5:30 AM – help offload. get my deliveries for the day – sort them (they come in bound plastic containers) load them in my van and then deliver then to pharmacies around town, Mostly Reasors. It involves dollies, scanners, paperwork, pushing, shoving (containers) loading, unloading, lifting, smiling, driving etc. The company I work for is called Segue and we deliver mostly for McKessons Pharma-howeveryouspellit-cuticals out of OKC. Most of it is time sensitive which means I’m hustling. But not speeding. So don’t worry. It’s interesting because some of what I deliver is strictly monitored by the DEA. On my second day as I was off loading the empty containers in our warehouse the vice-president of the company was helping me. He found in one of the empties two bottles which a pharmacist had failed to remove and I had failed to notice. They contained a thousand pills. The kind of pills which I was told would be worth tens of thousands of dollars in the wrong hands. If there’s bad luck to be had you can be sure I’ll have it.
Thanks for asking by the way.
