And now... Sharks

[JTC]

This is too much. At least I don't go swimming anymore but I did as of 10 yrs ago. They have had to close the south shore beaches off of Long Island NY lately because sharks are being seen, close to shore. Usually they are Bull sharks, which is more aggressive than the Great White shark is. Today 2 were reported, one was 6' but the other was close to 13'. Either one can kill you if it takes a bite out of you. They also reported that a 63 yr old woman was killed while swimming off a Maine beach when a great white attacked her. The Great White shark is the animal made famous in the "Jaws" movies. Those movies scared everyone so much that fisherman started deliberately going after the White shark. Even though the white shark can grow to 35' there were never very many of them. And there were almost none up here. I was a Scuba diver in the 1970's and we knew most white sharks were down near Australia. Then they were declared an endangered species and could no longer be hunted. But now there's too many of them. It seems their favorite food are seals and there are a lot of seals north of Long Island.

  As I've said before, I'm not big into the whole End Times stuff. This is because I was disappointed twice already by believing that Jesus would be back. I've resigned myself to the idea that He probably won't return in my lifetime. Whether He does or not, what I'm concerned about right now is His statement on "this is the beginning of sorrows". So, coronavirus, violence in the streets, our political unrest because the Left doesn't like Trump, and now sharks so close to shore you better not go in the water. And since I was a diver I can tell you the water up here is so dirty there can be a shark 6 feet away from you but you wouldn't see it. And before I close, they're talking about a bad hurricane season. Oh no, we're still licking our wounds from the 2012 hurricane.

I believe that too. We are in the time of great sorrows. We dont know if Jesus will come soon. But we know he will someday. Take heed lest you be found not serving the lord. Because that day will come when you expect not. And he will appoint us a place with the unbelievers.  That is what the lord Jesus said. He said pray and watch.

Wayne, why don't you elaborate on what you mean by serving the Lord? This seems to be the issue nowadays, how do we serve God.

If I didn’t check in here every now and then, I wouldn’t  even know that the world was in chaos.
I hope it is not insensitive to say this, but this has been the best time of my life in the last 15 years. I am “quarantined” with the three most beautiful and spiritual children a person could ask for( I pray they will stay this way).
I’m no longer experiencing the debilitating fear that I experience when my husband is traveling every week and I was home alone with the kids. He has been home every day since March and it may be permanent. I don’t have the mind blowing amount of homework that my kids would bring home(in our school district parents are required to help their kids with assignments every night, which can be challenging with three kids). 
No running around to all these extra curricular activities or listening to the constant begging for fast food on a daily basis.  My husband loves to cook and experiment with new  recipes, so we feel like we’re living inside of a fine dining restaurant.  

We have bonded as a family and I thank God for our time together. I will never forget this. 
I pray our family will stay healthy because things seem too good to be true . And I pray the world as a whole will turn from our wicked ways and seek forgiveness so that our land will be  healed.

And this is the 64 billion dollar question, isn't it. I've been praying for this all along but so far I don't see or hear evidence of it. It is troubling.

I'm glad you're enjoying all this, that just shows how different we all are. It also shows how God can bring good out of a bad situation. But if it goes on too long it may turn sour. Since I'm a disabled senior citizen my life is almost exactly the same as it was before. I don't like wearing a mask but they seem to help, so I'm not complaining.
