I do my best to invite the comments that I am insane...

I hear a timer ticking...do you? Seriously. I hear it, I can feel it in my bones. Depending on how long I dwell on things, it can make me sick to my stomach with trepidation- this waiting.

What am I waiting for? Good question. I can't be specific, as usual, but I can venture a guess. To put it as simply as possible:

Life as you know it is going to be GONE.

I don't like to elaborate, even though I do have my own ideas of what this means, but I cannot be sure that what I see in our future is not colored by the news media or my personal opinions on things that I see happening.

But, just for fun, just so you know how seriously off the deep end this could really get- here it is in a nutshell:

Forget about driving a car, gas will be first, too expensive, and later there just won't be any.
You better learn how to grow and produce your own food because a trip to the grocery store, like gasoline, will cost you immensely, and later, there just won't be any of that nicely packaged, fortified, homoginized, processes food left. Electricity? If you've got a generator, maybe you'll have it for a little while longer. Water? Better learn how to collect rain or filter that creek water. Heat? AC? Toilet? Microwave? Nope.

Are you laughing yet? Nice gutteral, American guffaw shaking your body at the moment? I wish I could laugh. Unfortunately, I feel this coming so deep in my veins, I'm trying my very best to be in denial, believe me. It just looks too clear to me.

So, what then? We all wait and see? I guess so. I don't know that I could stand and actually allow this sort of stuff out of my mouth without fearing the reaction. I know I am not the only one who feels that the America we know it is on the path to oblivion, however, I get a strange sense of a definite impending horror- I just can't be specific, as much as I want to be- even if the specifics turn out to be exactly what I think/feel - as I have written above.

I know that all things work for the good of those who love God. So, while I sense this mess about to explode- I do not fear the actual situation- lack of food, lack of basic civilized stuff- I fear the people who have no hope, no perspective, nothing. I fear them, and I fear for them. I know I will be fine because the Lord is my ultimate provider, my ultimate protection, my sovereign King and Lord. But what about YOU, random person? Where will your sanity fall when all that you perceive as normal and essential is gone like a puff of smoke? What can I say that would pull you out of such despair?? I am at a loss at the moment. I suppose I must wait until the Lord gives me words and actions. And the strength- both physical and mental - to pull it all off.

It's gonna get crazy. Please believe me. Please.
