12 Babies Die During Vaccine Trials & Wake Up CallBefore reading this post...
This is a Wake Up And Smell The Coffee Kinda Post!
It is extreme turnaround from the previous cute fluffy puppy post to some current events happening that if you are easily scared by - you may not want to read this. And for those who only like to read posts that have pictures in them - you will definitely find this one boring.
Have any of you read Blaine's recent blog entry? This kind of thing just upsets me...
12 Babies Die During Vaccine Trials in Argentina
Be sure to read the whole article linked in the post. The attitude just about kills me! There is so much of this kind of thing going on and right under our noses. Where are we and what have we become that this kind of thing is acceptable?! It amazes me that people get more hung up about what happened on American Idol or some other inane television program that will mean absolutely nothing when it all comes down to it than they do about things outside of that silly little box that feeds you.
And...
One good example of where we are is here recently we have had a few incidents where people were in need of help and no one did anything to assist them. Did you see the story about the man hit by a car in Connecticut as he crossed the street? Some people walked right by him after witnessing the car flipping him into the air. Some walked up and looked but didn't offer to help. What about the woman who was in an emergency room at a hospital who had a seizure in the waiting room, fell to the floor and nothing was done until after she died! The receptionist peered over the desk to see what happened but did not get up to offer assistance. After some time, one of the nurses finally came up and nudged her with her foot (with her foot?!) to see if she was alive and walked right on! It wasn't until hours later that a doctor came out and confirmed that she was indeed dead. This was in a hospital?! They have both these incidents on video tape.
What on earth?!
It is heartbreaking to see what we have become! How we must grieve God!
What So Proudly We Hailed is not written as something that may happen in the future - It Is Happening Right NOW! When Blaine wrote the book, we knew of some of the things going on but never expected that what he wrote would be so applicable to today. Scary? You betcha!
Did you hear about Obama wanting to implement a national civilian STASI? Here is what he said...
"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded," Obama told a Colorado Springs audience earlier this month.
Now I'm not telling you who to vote for or who not to vote for. I'm just bringing some things to our attention that is a repeating of history. Could this quote have been taken out of context? No! I don't think so - read it! What does this remind you of? Do you know where this is going and could lead to? You can read more on this article here - the website has articles written in newspapers all around that may not make it into the public's range of focus. Course, that focus is somewhat limited if all we are worried about is what Brittney Spears is wearing or not wearing - whichever the case may be.
With the whole terrorist threat...I think we have only ourselves to watch out for. Look at what we are willing to do to our own people within our own borders!
Where Am I Going With This...
I think it is definitely time to wake up! I have had some people leave me private messages about "scaring" them when I post about things of this nature and that I should be more upbeat and positive. I do try to be upbeat and positive but reality is...this stuff is going on!
Have you read your Bible lately? One only needs to read through the prophecies in the Old Testament and in Revelation (that would be the last book in the New Testament) to understand what exactly is going on. How many of us skip those parts because we find them too scary? And this will help you how? God placed those words in the Bible to help us. Yes it is scary! And I am so very thankful that I have Him to rely upon! It doesn't mean I stand idly by and do nothing. It does mean I need to be prepared for what is coming up.
I love when people say, "Well I'm going to fly away and be taken up into Heaven." Umm...yes but you're missing the whole part that has to happen before we are taken up! Are we reading the same Bibles? Or did you not want to read that section in your Bible because it was too "scary" to read?! There are some things we have to go through before any of that flying away takes place. In the 1800's Darby did a good job at twisting the words of the Bible around. I will let you look him up. Read what the Bible says and not what someone wants you to think it says. As God says, we have itching ears and we want to only hear what we want to and not what He is actually telling us - we are easily redirected. I know I am stepping on some toes right now but get over it and put your big girl pants on!
Read 2 Thessalonians 2 - Paul says that there are things that must happen first.
Read Revelation 3:10 - God promises this to His true believers.
And while you are in Revelation, check out the six seal - Revelation 6 & 7.
Now, I am no prophet nor am I predicting end times. I'm simply stating facts that we need to be aware of so that we as wives, mothers and keepers of our homes can prepare for the times we are about to face. We can no longer hide our heads under the sand. We need to stand up, take notice and do what we need to be doing! Quit wasting time on silly things that will mean absolutely nothing in the end. That doesn't mean that we give up on things that bring us joy but we tend to place those things as priority in our lives and we quickly forget what our priorities should be. I am guilty of this very thing myself! I am constantly having to stop, reprioritize and get back on track.
God has given us a job to do Ladies. Where is our focus right now? It may be time to look at what our priorities are and in what order we have placed them in. If you are still hung up on what Sally Sue said about you or did to you ages ago or that you are busy trying to get even with her and/or outdo her in something...well...then...I don't know what to tell ya!
Yes I do but I don't think I need to say anything more on that now do I?!
For those of you who listen to Kay Arthur - did you catch what she said at a recent convention? Candace posted a review of this conference. Candace? I hope you don't mind me linking to you. I do try to ask beforehand but felt your review something to share and was important.
I think I have said plenty. This is not to scare you but only to open our eyes. This is a call to you all to wake up, realize where we are at and what it is that is truly, truly important.
My love to you all - please know that this is a heartfelt post for us all.
