I'm really starting to wonder......

all of the fires right now, and the massive storms, and the wars.  Am I going to hear trumpets soon?  Are the four horsemen of the Apocalypse going to show up? 

I have been seriously pondering this for a while now.  These past two weeks, I have really brought this home.  We've got this crazy little man over in North Korea threatening to start hurling bombs and missles at us, we have crazy but wildfires all over Washington, Oregon, Montana, California and who knows where else, Texas was nearly wiped off the map by Harvey, and now Irma could sink Florida.  Then we have Jose coming up behind Irma and goodness only knows where he is going to end up.  All of this doesn't even take into consideration all of the fighting going on over in the Middle East.  Europe has been under file with terrorist attacks.  Spain, France, England....where else?  I really cannot keep up any longer.

My concern with all of this is my family.  Yeah, I know, we all worry about our families.  I am talking about the people I grew up with.  Half of them don't talk to me, so if I even say anything, it will fall on deaf ears.  The other half, I have no idea where they stand.  I worry about them all. 

I pray every day, all day.  Seriously, all day long.  No, I am not on my knees head bowed.  I talk with God.  I thank Him for that green light, I ask Him to watch over the folks on 3rd Avenue.  As I drive by a school, I ask Him to protect everyone there, and when I see the fighter jets flying over my home, I thank Him for freedom.  When someone crosses my mind, I ask Him to be with them. 

So, there you have it.  That's what's on my mind today.
