Crash, Boom, Bang

I do not understand economics. I believe when we were supposed to be learning the GDP and GNP type of stuff in high school, I was probably doodling stuff in my notebook, because I just don't do well if numbers are involved. So, right now, with all this stuff going on in the economy and on Wall Street, I'm pretty puzzled, but nonetheless concerned.

Dr. Ron Paul is very good at explaining economics to the common American. He is an expert, I'd say. THE expert. And right now, I am pretty worried about what he is talking about. We all know our country is in debt. Heck, we can all go watch School House Rock and see the Dinosaur Debt eating the capitol building. We know it exists. But do we care? Do we even understand what the heck any of this means?

Gas prices are ridiculous. People are talking about finding alternative fuels or drilling our own oil, but if you are paying attention, that isn't going to really help us out. Gas is expensive because the dollar is worth less. We MAKE these Middle East countries sell their oil in dollars, rather than another currency. That's pretty obvious to everyone, isn't it? Or is this another thing that most common American citizens really have no idea about, because they are too busy texting people or downloading crappy music to ther ipod?

This is my point I guess- We are circling the drain hole, folks. If you pay the least bit of attention, and then maybe do a little research, watch some youtube videos, some BBC news reports- some news shows that aren't corrupt and working for our government. You'll see a very different story unfolding. I'm not so much afraid of what is going to happen financially, but I am more afraid of what our country- the types of people that we have become- I am afraid of our reaction. And after that reaction, comes the government's reaction. THAT, my friends is what it's all going to come down to.

Stay aware- pay attention, and please, please, let down your guard for Christ and only Christ to affect you. Do not be fooled by this world. Any Christian that knows their Bible is not shocked by these coming events. We are prepared, and we are not afraid. Jesus is all that matters. You cannot hold on to your home, you cannot hold on to your money, you cannot even hold on to your family. The only thing there is, in all of reality, in all of time, space, and beyond- there is only, only, only JESUS. Please, let the scales fall away from your eyes. Understand that nothing in this world is eternal. Everything will fade. If you do not have Jesus, you have nothing. Please, find Him. He is right there, waiting for you to find Him. Find Him before the crap hits the fan, so you won't be as troubled.

Alright, I am sorry for that, but it truly is all that matters, and in that case, I'm not sorry for that. But, I just want to be sure you have all heard what needs to be heard. Nothing else will stand up to what is coming, only Christ. And I'm not some doomsday nutjob. I don't know what is coming, but whether it is something major, or something small and only slightly uncomfortable, I know that still, Jesus is the only possible light in any darkness.

Ok, so watch. Watch and be faithful to Christ- do the works set out for you by God, use your gifts. Help plant seeds so the harvest will be many.
