Have a Pepsi

Just sittin’ here at the computer and thinkin'....

It’s 9:30 and I’m waiting for Alonzo [Adair]. He called earlier and said he was bringing us another load of top soil for our back yard grove & flower bed. When they built these houses they stripped the topsoil and replaced it with sod. So we’re trying to get some good soil back where we need it most. He brought a load the other day and even spread it for us. This time we will have to do it ourselves. So while I was waiting for him I decided to check Drudge for the news.



It’s very disheartening to see how our country is going. Now Coca Cola is going to put the moon and star symbol on their pop cans for Ramadan. Just a few weeks ago Tyson replaced the Labor Day holiday with Ramadan. We were at Sam’s and decided not to get a bag of chicken since the only brand was Tyson. Just a few days later Tyson changed their stand and put Labor Day back in their list of holidays. We are simply being overwhelmed with Islam. We keep buying oil from them and giving them more and more money. Then they use our gasoline money to buy up property in U.S. and we become subservient to them. Wow! It’s a vicious cycle and we are the losers.

I am quite convinced that we are very, very close to the sound of the trumpet and the coming of the Lord. I am a literalist regarding Biblical interpretation. The sound of the trumpet will be the call for all Christians, both dead and alive, to be snatched up with the Lord and join Him in Heaven [I Thes 4:13-18]. Those who remain will suffer the events as described in Revelation 6 through 18.

I could get carried away here. Ezekiel 38 fits in here and it’s interesting to note that all of the countries mentioned here are surrounding Israel today. This could be a battle that would usher in the antichrist and the beginning of the seven years of tribulation. Iran’s threats should be taken seriously, especially with the encouragement they are getting from Russia. How we need to be sure our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren learn these Biblical truths. Deut. 6:4-9. May they all come to know the Lord Jesus as their Savior at an early age.

Jan Markel wrote this morning regarding the Deception of the church, calling it the Devil’s Delight. She referred to Oprah Winfrey and her “me-centered gospel” and how it has changed our culture.

She continued to say: “Biblical truth will continue to be scorned by those who consider themselves to be intellectual (I Cor. 1:20), and it will likely be rejected by those who seek the praise of man over the praise of God (John 12:42,43). But the Spirit of God is always at work in the hearts of men, giving life to human spirits by the same power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead (Ephesians 1:19).

It’s amazing what a couple cans of pop can do to your thinking! And I never got around to telling you about the interview I had with my boss the other night. He told me how great a job I was doing and praised my work so that I was even embarrassed. So I should have asked for a raise!

Well, we’re still waiting for Alonzo and the load of dirt. I mean top soil. So if you’re not too busy, stop by and you can help spread it around.

Oh, yes! I forgot to mention McDonald’s. We’ve stopped going there and we really miss their apple pies and ice cream.

Love you all,
