Not much time for any of us

Not much time to post with summer camps in full swing. Come to think of it, there may not be much time for any of us considering the world's stage. Jesus promised to return one day when the time was right. He told us we could recognize the season, but no one would know the exact time. He told us to live expectedly, as if He would return at any minute. Some of the writers of the New Testament thought it would be right away, yet some 2,000 years have gone by.

I participate with Facebook, originally to help promote my book, but that isn't working out. People who post are mostly young, but some adults also. Judging from comments, most live for themselves day to day, with comments about movies, or taking silly quizzes, or little snippets about their crazy day-to-day lives. How many are really expecting the return of Christ, I can't say. I try to live with that certainty, and wonder what Jesus will find me doing when He returns. I hope I am serving people in the camp ministry when it happens. I love doing that, seeing the smiles on the faces of the many youth and kids who come my way. I keep building the camp more and more to accomodate the ever-increasing numbers. Many find Christ for the first time while at camp, meaning they surrender their lives to Jesus, accepting Him as their personal savior. A concept many don't seem to really understand. When you turn your life over to Christ, you then live for Him, and not yourself. That's difficult for many to do, for they want to live just to please themselves.

Scripture talks about this time, as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the coming day of the Lord. People just scurrying about, living like they always have, paying no attention to the signs of His coming. Are you ready for that day? I believe it is imminent. I'm ready!!

are we looking??

Summer camps have started for me, some 11 weeks non-stop of week-long camps with retreats sandwiched in between. There's isn't much busier work on the planet than this.

At night, briefly, I fly through the internet for news, weather, a quick check on the general state of things. So tonight, I read something forwarded to me supposedly by a Russian blogger and writer for Pravda, the Russian paper. I don't know if it is authentic or not, but it does make you think. It's his take on our rapid descent into Marxism. Might or not agree with all he says, but something to look at. His name is Stanislav Mishin, you can google him.

There can be no doubt that Americans are having a great deal of things done to them which can't be good, and that many of us are too occupied with "other" to notice. I notice on Facebook that most people are taking silly quizzes and already wondering how to fight summer boredom. Never have I had a problem with boredom in my lifetime. There's always too much to do, or too much going on. But, I pay attention to things. And I don't like what I see. We are indeed being taken for a gigantic ride. And many don't even know it.

My prayer is for people to wake up, young, old, and all in between. Our government is sticking us with debt we can never repay, nor can our kids or grandkids, if any are even around by then. Politics is perhaps at it's worst right now. But are we looking?
