Interesting–But Odd

ODD

To hear two people talk in an animated manner ONCE is a reason to remember what was said.

To hear two OTHER folks talk in a similar manner is a reason to note the conversations.

The first discussion took place in a supermarket checkout line; the second, in a laundromat.

BOTH conversations dealt with the end times–though NONE of the participants used that term or one which was similar.

Though an effort was made NOT to eavesdrop, it was difficult to avoid hearing what each person said.

Of the two conversations, the second was the more SPIRITED of the two.

BOTH discussions began, as near as can be remembered, as commentaries on how the United States was going downhill in a hurry.

NEITHER conversation, as has been pointed out, used ANY end times terminology, though they both discussed events which CLEARLY had to do with the last days.

What gave the discussions their ODD flavor had to do with what was discussed.  BOTH people in BOTH locations got into a ‘listing contest.’ This is where both people mention something which seemed to originally come from a list somewhere.

EXAMPLE: ALL involved listed the things they thought were WRONG with the U.S. of A.  ALL of the items they mentioned had to do with POLITICS or the POLITICAL REALM.

In fact, BOTH discussions saw their most spirited banter when the conversations moved to whether or not a certain U.S. president STOLE the 2020 election from another former U.S. president.

In the end, it appeared to be decided–by those involved in those conversations–that electoral shenanigans took place and that today’s US president obtained his office in an unjust manner.

Again, what made BOTH conversations a bit ODD was the fact that NEITHER mentioned ANYTHING about God, or Jesus or what is written in God’s Word. Another ODD bit was that so many STORIES of the world–which are NOT true–were used to buttress the arguments of one or the other of the participants.

It was at this point that an INITIALLY uninterested spectator decided that these folks were hopelessly lost (principally because they concentrated so much on the world and the happenings in this world, and the supposed REMEDIES of this world).

FINALLY, it was decided that ALL involved could use some prayers of uninterested onlookers–even IF none would agree to such a PRIMITIVE remedy.

BUT, hope does spring eternal.

Even for those caught up in interesting though odd discussions about the ills of this present world.

HAS the reader ever overheard an interesting but odd bit of talk?

It is not YET too late–although time is surely running out: there is still a LITTLE time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

From A Land of Plenty To A Land of Want

DESOLATION

While discussing a host of topics this past week, the mood of the four people involved in the discussion turned somber.

What it was which dampened the group’s mood was the topic being discussed.

The topic?

The shift of the United States from a LAND OF PLENTY to a LAND OF WANT.

There was VERY LITTLE disagreement on whether this desolation had occurred.  MOST of the discussion concerned the ‘finer points‘ of the matter.

The discussion began as a question: “How long has it been that you have noticed the USA sliding backwards?”

NO question about whether this ‘sliding backwards’had occurred; only a question asking confirmation that it had happened–and WHEN this was remembered so that it stuck in the person’s memory.

“Couple years.”

“I’ve been writing about it for at least FOUR or FIVE years.”

“Yeah, probably three to five years.”

“That you’ve noticed?”

“Yeah, it COULD have been longer than that, but I’ve been noticing things falling apart for the last three, four or five years.”

“What, in particular, have you noticed?”

“Oh, without a doubt, it’s been the roads.  They’re falling apart and they don’t do ANYTHING to fix them!”

“No, it has to be the stores.  There’s NO merchandise for sale and what they do have is overpriced and NOT what anybody would want.”

“How many times have I said ‘This is like living in a third-world country!’?”

“If you want anything, you have to order it online.  The stores don’t have much anymore.”

“So, you all think that the USA has gone from a LAND OF PLENTY to a LAND OF WANT?”

“Yep.”

“Absolutely!”

“Definitely!”

ANYONE who grew up when the United States was hauling in the world’s things of value in exchange for those little, green slips of paper called dollars has noticed that the USA is NOT favored anymore.

The United States was the wealthiest country EVER.  There was a reason for this: an end times reason. The USA is STILL a rich country–just not as rich as it used to be ten or twenty years ago.

Folks who were around ten or twenty years ago have no problem in ticking off the number of things which have changed for the worse.

Has the reader noticed any of these changes?

Or, has the reader told himself, “Things will get better, they always do.“?

As has been detailed,  far as that recent discussion went the MAIN points seemed like they were agreed to.

It was only the particulars (how long has this been going on, how can you tell, etc.) which were discussed.

HAS the reader noticed ANY signs of the United States ‘falling backwards?’

DOES the reader believe these failures are due to human error OR does the reader believe they are all signs the United States is in a state of decline?

It is not YET too late–although time is surely running out: there is still a LITTLE time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

Christmas Time Appears to Soften Men’s Ways

CHRISTMAS TIME

Regardless of the REAL date of Jesus birth and its coinciding with Christmas, Christmas time DOES appear to soften the ways of men in this hard, hard world.

The arguments FOR this point of view are largely subjective. However, that does NOT mean those arguments are invalid.

Perhaps the reader has observed some of the same behaviors and can compare those during Christmas time and with those the rest of the year?

1- What man can tell WHY folks seem to soften their ways around Christmas?  Maybe it is sparked by a long-ago memory of a happy time during Christmas time? Maybe it is a time remembered when one’s family unit BEHAVED as if they were a family?  Maybe it is just a opportunity for those who have hardened their hearts to unharden them?

An acquaintance was picking up a fast food order the other day and as he went to slide his card to pay for it, a man came up to him and told him to ‘put his card away.  It was already taken care of.’  The man not only paid the acquaintance’s food tab, he gave him a $40 gift card for the restaurant as well.

Who knows why the man did this?  But it was done during Christmas time, so that season will get the blame for the man’s actions.

A short discussion on GIVING as had last week and it was pointed out that it was probably better to give directly to a person in need than use a middleman (charity organization).  The response stuck in one’s mind afterwards.

“As long as that person (in need) IS given something.”

While waiting in line to pay for a cup of coffee, when one approached the window where you pay, the lady informed that the car in front had already paid for this order.  The lady in the car in front paid for the order BECAUSE the car in front of her paid for HER order.

All of this took place at Christmas time.

2- Folks appear to SMILE more often during the Christmas season.  Yes, this is HIGHLY subjective: has the reader noticed anything similar?

3- What makes acts of randomized giving stand out EVEN MORE is that they have happened during a Christmas time of want.  Though, the economy has had its problems, people STILL want to open their wallets a little during Christmas time–even when times are not so good.

4- Even if it is only LIP SERVICE, folks’ talk-talk softens and becomes more cheery during the Christmas holidays.  Perhaps this is brought about by the massive amount of GOOD THOUGHTS running through the heads of other folks who surround those who voice cheerful words?  Perhaps not.

These are a few of the reasons Christmas time has been noticed as an agent to soften the normally-hard hearts of men.

HAS the reader noticed anything similar?

It is not YET too late–although time is surely running out: there is still a LITTLE time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

Random Thoughts 17

RANDOM THOUGHTS 17
Originally posted: October 3, 2022

Various bits of miscellany which have accumulated (mostly on sticky notes and scraps of paper) since the last RANDOM THOUGHTS (about four months ago).

* When the judgment bill comes due for ALL of those who do not believe, it would be natural to feel a bit of sympathy for those poor, benighted folks…

EXCEPT, they richly deserve their bills, having turned aside ALL pleas to change their ways BEFORE that due date.

IF the reader is one of the ones who will feel the wrath of God’s judgment, know that there exists a number of their fellows who must weigh sympathy with reason.

IF the reader is one who will NOT feel the wrath of God’s judgment, give thanks and praise for this relatively-rare circumstance.

IF the reader is UNSURE of what group into which he will fall, then it’s time to make a COMPLETE break with the world and its wicked ways.

* The list of former #1 retail giants in the USA looks to grow longer before the day is done.

For DECADES, Sears and Roebucks ruled that lofty spot, using its mail order operations to climb to #1–and stay there.

K-Mart next took over in the mid-80’s as the #1 retailer in the USA.  WalMart overtook K-Mart and became #1–where it stands today.

Readers would NOT be amiss if they suspected that WalMart will NOT maintain its #1 position.

What company will replace them?

Who knows?

One might hazard a guess that it might be one of the dollar-store chains EXCEPT that it appears that there is a ‘race-to-the-bottom’ going on between those establishments.

One store in a big dollar-store chain was CLOSED for business for NO APPARENT REASON twelve days of the past two weeks. A number of stories circulated as to WHY the store was closed, but NONE of the reasons given were particularly credible.

* Joe Biden could very well become President “Kick Me” before it’s all said and done–particularly if the Corporate Media has its way.

PAST RANDOM THOUGHTS

* IF one comments on Satan’s Mouthpiece (the Corporate Media) each and every day, one can avoid sounding like a broken record by NOT sounding the SAME warning in the SAME way each and every day.

Which is ONE good reason the wicked do NOT hear the same warnings every day–though the wicked remain wicked and those warnings remain valid.

* Here is a thought which has been entertained more than once over the years: IF a thought becomes a part of one’s normal thinking pattern, can it STILL be considered ‘random’?

* ‘When Jesus returns to earth’ is a phrase one will not hear uttered by those who are NOT believers–which is the primary reason those who do NOT believe God’s Word are so surprised at the events which take place which are CLEARLY forewarned of by the Bible.

* Deceivers believe that all success they have is due to their great and glorious intellectual advantage they enjoy over their prey. That their prey is also deceived and blinded is not taken into their calculations.

* Does the reader believe that the various government road departments in charge of keeping our roads well-maintained have suddenly forgotten how to do their jobs? After decades of such departments keeping the public roadways in fairly good repair (regardless of the various complaints about potholes heard from time-to-time), the end times are now a time when one takes one’s life into one’s hands whenever one ventures onto the blacktopped pathways we call ‘roads.’ This is mainly due to roadway departments complaining of a lack of money–even though their departments, by any and all indicators, are over-flowing with cash.

DOES the reader sometimes have ‘random thoughts?’

It is not YET too late: there is still a LITTLE time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

Busy Week: Friday the 13th

Friday the 13th

This Friday [May 13, 2022] marks a day when the superstitious among us have something to talk about.

This Friday is a FRIDAY THE 13TH.

This Friday is the ONLY FRIDAY THE 13TH in 2022–although 2023 will have TWO of the days within its 12 months (January and October).

According to stories told by those who must believe them, FRIDAY THE 13TH is a day when “bad luck” is out and about.

MORE: Hand of God: No Such Thing as Luck

MORE: Hand of God: No Good Luck, No Bad Luck

Friday the 13th is ALSO a day when ‘spooks’ are interacting with mankind.

Among the recurring pieces on Friday the 13th, the ONE constant in ALL of them is that superstition is a form of IDOLATRY.

We’ll say this about Friday the 13th.

Idolatry is the elevation, exaltation, love, admiration or reverence for ANYTHING over God Almighty.

That makes superstition a type of idolatry.

And Friday the 13th is superstition.

Though many of the stories surrounding Friday the 13th are based on real events, the day itself is about superstition.

And superstition is a type of idolatry.

—End Times Prophecy Headlines: November 13, 2015

Moderns do LOVE to be frightened–or maybe only when the fear is part of an ENTERTAINMENT package and they KNOW they are safe from harm?

With this in mind, one of the most popular of all slasher films series is titled “Friday the 13th.”

The belief that FRIDAY THE 13TH is an unlucky day is fairly recent–perhaps only dating back 100-200 years or so.

While there is evidence of both Friday and the number 13 being considered unlucky, there is no record of the two items being referred to as especially unlucky in conjunction before the 19th century.

Actually, the number ’13’ is generally considered to be a LUCKY number in Italy.

Some sources claim that accidents go DOWN on Friday the 13th; others claim that accidents go UP on that day.

DOES the reader have any odd or unusual beliefs associated with Friday the 13th?

DOES the reader have any MEMORIES associated with Friday the 13th?

It is not YET too late: there is still a LITTLE time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

One Way Of Convincing Doubters

unplugged

There must be something about snow and ice forming on the landscape that makes some men wax poetic.

Several days ago, during a (cold–but seasonal) winter storm, someone make a remark which caused one listener to exclaim out loud, “I wish I had said that!”

There was a group of five or six men and a couple of women outside in the blowing snow.

The roads were coated with ice and snow because, for some reason, the Department of Highways chose NOT to do anything to the local roads.

One or two passes with the blade of a salt truck would have left completely-clean roads.

But one or two passes of a salt truck may as well have been some unattainable ticket to paradise.

It just was NOT happening that afternoon.

It was at that moment that one of the younger (25-30-years-old) men said out loud, “You know why they don’t plow the roads?”

The man continued:

“They don’t plow the roads because it makes the snow seem so much worse.”

Apparently, this guy was just getting warmed up.

“It’s the same thing as no power. Having no power is a GREAT way to convince all of the doubters that the bad weather is REALLY bad.”

When one onlooker chimed in that he ‘wished he had said that,’ the response was rather mild.

“It’s true!”

DOES the reader believe that all of those in authority have nothing else but your best interests in mind?

It is not YET too late: there is still a little time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

A Canny ‘Back To Normal’ Observation

normal

Occasionally, a person makes a GRAND observation by just stating the obvious.

Sometimes, that person doesn’t even know he was making an observation.

And every now and then, a person delivers their observation as a way of being pithy–as well as honest–about a circumstance which they might not be totally prepared for.

And so it was that a few days ago–during an ice storm which killed electric power to a LARGE number of homes (most for several days) nearby–someone made an observation which, not only stuck in the mind of the listener, it CONTINUED to grow in that same mind.

The observation?

“And we were just getting back to normal, too.  Not really NORMAL normal, but as close to normal as we’ve been for the past year or so.”

Canny.

The person made this observation during a trip over snow-and-ice-covered roads on her way to the nearest town.

BEFORE she could leave, she had to hurriedly attend to several small children.

THEN, she had to dig her car out of being covered with snow and get it roadworthy so she could see out the windows.

FINALLY, she made her way into the nearest town (everything outside of town being shut down for lack of power) over slippery–but ultimately driveable roads.

It was while this woman was hunched over the steering wheel–her mind ALMOST totally occupied by the task of safely steering her car to town–that she made her observation.

The passenger was impressed with her outlook–even more so after he thought AGAIN on it later.

There were a NUMBER of additional observations which could be made about the woman’s statement.  Perhaps, they will be made at a later date?

For now, we’ll settle for just a couple of the following comments.

What was noticeable was her calling her life situation BEFORE the ‘pandemic’ “NORMAL normal.”

Also, what was noticed was that she must have been HIGHLY adaptable in order for her to find her present life–with its MANY changes wrought by COVID-19–“close to normal.”

The woman made her observation (seemingly without thinking much on it)  to a passenger as she related all of the CIRCUMSTANCES necessary in order for her to leave on her excursion.

And WHY did the woman jump through all of those hoops in order to make a journey to town?

She wanted a pack of cigarettes.

DOES the reader ever hear someone make a observation which sticks in the reader’s mind?

It is not YET too late: there is still a little time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
