Everything Is Melting

Today, I walked out and all of the snow had melted. But actually, that was not true, there is still a little remnant of the snow, on the awning over the front patio. Otherwise, it is as though it never even snowed.

I suppose it could snow again. It is February, and the weather could get cold again. I went front to smoke, and saw that all of the snow on the porch had melted away. It was all water, now. So I went and put on my flip-flops, so that my feet would not get wet.

Then, just a moment ago I looked out from the second story and saw a little bit of snow on the roof. I took that as an indicator it could snow again, because it is lingering. Texas was prepared this time. But we were prepared for Michigan, and only got a little bit of snow.

It could snow again. But I don’t think it will. Last night, at work, I turned on the AC for a little bit. Normally, I had had the heat on. Well, in any case, it is always good to be prepared.

I was going to go smoke. I went out back this time, and to my surprise there was still some coffee left in the coffee maker. So, I poured myself a cup, and warmed it in the microwave. It is re-heated coffee, but it is coffee. I try not to waste coffee. I suppose I could make another pot of coffee. But not right now.

I fed Max. Max had been outside, and I let him in. I went over to the container of dog food, and used the cup. I have a cup I use to pour Max dog food into his bowl. But Max was not interested, even though he stared intently at the bowl when I let him in. Maybe he was just checking to see if I left him a treat. Sometimes, I leave Max a treat if I get chicken tenders, or some pizza.

Pray For China 2022

The Beijing Winter Olympics are underway. I don’t care to watch them, either. I was reading in Voice of The Martyrs, and the Communist Chinese continue in there efforts to persecute the Christian church in that country. Apparently, even if all they do is attend a worship service, or visit a Christian friend, it can go on there permanent record. The government is administratively persecuting the Christians. Personally, I think that same kind of thing is headed to America.

Our brothers and sisters live with the understanding that attending a church service or visiting a fellow Christian’s home can harm their “permanent” digital record. #prayforchina2022

Voice of The Martyrs

The proof is that our own government continues to have dealings with the Communist Chinese, when it is clear that they have an appalling human rights record, and a lot of it is directed at the church. America needs to turn to Jesus, repent, and change the way it thinks and acts.

The above is a meme. It was shared on a group I am in on Facebook. The group, is EntertheStars, run by Casey. Jennifer Wilson posted the meme. I think it is very fitting. For one, I like the background. I also notice how it says “A Few Chosen People Can See Through It”, not everybody can see through what is going on. Some are distracted by coronavirus. Others, by day to day routines. At the end it says “Wild Times”. These are the times we live in.

Israel And Other Highlights

The Watchman is a channel on Youtube. The Watchman covers news, with a Christian world view, about the highlights of what is going on. In this video, The Watchman focused a lot on Israel. But when I paid attention, I noticed The Watchman also focused on the conflict in the Ukraine. There is currently fighting in the Ukraine going on between Ukraine forces, and Russian rebels. There has been fighting in the south of Ukraine. Meanwhile, Israel contemplates an air strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities. The Watchman argues, that this airstrike lines up with a Biblical prophecy, where Elam will be attacked by Israel.

Israel also carried out an airstrike in Damascus. I always find Damascus fascinating, because that is where Saul was headed too. Then, he met Jesus on the road. So, Saul eventually became Paul, an Apostle of Christ. This story gives encouragement during uncertain times. Acts 9:3 says “As Saul was coming near the city of Damascus, a light from heaven suddenly flashed around him. 4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice “Saul! Saul! Why are you persecuting me?” 5 Saul asked, “Who are you, sir?” The person replied, “I’m Jesus, the one you’re persecuting. 6 Get up! Go into the city, and you’ll be told what you should do”. The Faith in our time is under significant pressure. Just as in Saul’s day.

The Jihad Continues

In the meantime, in the African nation of Kenya, a place marked as safe for Christians, there was an attack. Here is the story. Kenya: Muslims murder 13 people in jihad attack on bus

The above story is a continuing saga just like in China, and it is also being ignored by the West. Especially the United States. This is a sad situation, where another grizzly murder in the name of Islam has been carried out. What strikes me as interesting, is that they hit a bus. So, this attack with psychological as well. Hitting public infrastructure within Kenya. This article was brought to my attention by Laurinda Cole. Thank you, Laurinda.

Well, that is all for now. I hope you enjoyed reading my blog.
