The horrifying aspect of this is spiritually ironic to the max. Bone chilling, actually. All of the most wondrous things God put here--all of the sounds, for instance. You have to have grown up in Kansas for awhile to comprehend the sound of locust and crickets and toads. Then the fireflies took over. I always thought how happy the pioneers and the indians were because those sounds were all they ever heard. And the sound of birds is something I very recently noticed because basically what I noticed was I WASN'T hearing any of them anymore. The bird songs are just heavenly. So, I mourn the loss of God's voice. Plain and simple, people, the Creation is in catastrophic decline. And most of you haven't even noticed. I think that's what stuns me the most sometimes. No one even noticed. So, get ready. More to come. I tend to get very political and very preachy on this subject. To me it is one step less significant than combating pedophiles. The is one place I can information. How does anyone--this tiny handful here, not exactly a full representation of the whole world, but at least other people--feel about these statements made in International Wildlife last year: 15 lovely predictions: Air temp. should not only reach record heights, but keep climbing to set ever-higher records. 1995 was the hottest year on world record at that time. 91-95 the hottest five year record on record. (Guess what--98 just beat them all hands down) The temperature of the soil should rise as surface warmth bleeds slowly downward to heat the subsurface. (Guess what? Things don't grow if they are poached. Seeds can't simmer like meat in a stew.) Also, how much water will be needed to keep hot soil moist? I don't think they have been successful growing food in the outer Sahara. And how long will the water last, period at this rate? Temperature of the world's ocean will and is rising. They quote a lot of scientific studies measure the time of Columbus, l957 and now. The ocean is rising one degree celsius per hundred years. But we had no pollution until very recently. Therefore, it will rise much, much faster. Like really faster. leading to prediction #4 Which is sea levels rising. Right now all of Hawaii is at sea level, for instance. Except the gushing valcano. The sea ice cap is "melting but that the rate of retreat has nearly doubled recently. Their (reserachers at the Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center in Bergen, Norway) found an annual loss of 2.5 percent between l978 and l987. That yearly decline rocketed to 4.5 percent between l987 and l994. The ice caps on mountains is shrinking. Mount Jaya has shrunk from 20 square kilometers to the current 2.6 or one square mile from 7 square miles. Plant life is trying to escape by seeding further up the mountains where nothing lived before. Their prediction is then that the survival of the fittest will kill the colder plant species off as they will have less and less cold air soil areas to survive. Well, on and on it goes. Including the fact that cooler weather inhibits horrible disease. That's why America doesn't have the hideous plagues/parsites of say, Africa. Now we can be privy to such things, and it has started already. And the weather is only going to get more violent from now on. Therefore, I plan to spend a lot more time getting my priorities straight--real straight--and ask our Lord what to do next. When I started praying he told me to sell my little happy spot of land in happy pagan Arizona and get out. I did. Then He told me to keep going to where I thought I should go. I did. It took 4 full years. I live in almost idealic perfection at the moment. That's all I know. Also, in continuing to move as inspired, I managed to hit 2 years of almost perfect weather on the North Coast, in between seasons of unusual rain. So, I've enjoyed almost perfect weather now for 5 years. That's all I know. That's all I know for me. We're all quite different. He's also telling me to start learning how to grow food, and all year long. So, I'm doing just that. That's me. Just me. After I pass on a few more sobering points I want to get back to David and Saul. Therein are enough lessons to take up 10 years of discussions on human nature and the consequences.
