Weird news

-Plant City FL: "A woman suffered minor injuries after she was walking around her backyard when the ground underneath her caved in and she fell into a sinkhole Monday morning." Well!

I've been writing about the prophesied breaking up of the earth, and the likelihood that the increase in sinkholes and earth cracks being a precursor, but this seems a little excessive, if you ask me! LOL. I feel for that woman. Luckily she had her cellphone and called for help from the pit she had fallen into.

In this next article, it beings to mind the feeling we all may have: we are surrounded by the moral conditions that Paul prophesied to Timothy in 2 Timothy 1-4
"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,"

It gets wearisome to be amidst crime and hatred and stealing...and increasingly, we are all affected. Pockets of areas in the world where it still looks and feels like Andy Griffith's Mayberry will soon dry up like a puddle in the desert. In this next article,  "An elderly woman with "nothing to lose" stopped a bank robber in her tracks Friday, Broward Sheriff's Office officials said. Helen Dunsford, 66, was a customer at a Bank of America in Oakland Park when a woman reached in her purse, said she had a gun and yelled for everyone to get on the ground. As other customers listened to the orders, Dunsford tackled the would-be robber, Renee Green, and held the suspect down until authorities arrived. "She got on my last nerve," Dunsford said."

LOL! The FBI agent who was interviewed at the scene said that he advises never getting involved in a confrontation, but instead concentrate on being good witnesses. The Grandma said that she has stage 4 cancer, and that 'when she dies she knows that God will call her home, and not that some robber will shoot me.'

I can understand how she feels, though. Sometimes I just get so tired of living in and around sin that my last nerve is spent, too.

The US Government has failed to come up with a budget that our representatives can agree on. A lot of news is being generated about it, and it seems a government shut-down looms. Personally I think that a shutdown government is one that would do no harm, therefore it would be beneficial, but that's just me.

But this article from CNN-Money caught my eye. This is verbatim today from CNN-Money: "There are two kinds of federal workers right now: the essential and the non-essential. Most don't know which group they're in."

Ow, that hurts. Not for the worker, but it hurts for us. On average in the US, we work until April 9th to pay for our total tax burden. According to 2010 figures, we pay almost 30% of our total income to the United States Government and we work for fully more than a quarter of the year to satisfy the governmental obligations of our tax burden. In return, the beleaguered burro that is the taxpaying citizen carrying this burden expects the government to do its diligence and spend wisely, create a budget, and refrain from excess. It doesn't look that this is occurring at present.

Not only is it not occurring, but it won't ever occur again. If government somewhere was ever good, it is not now, because sinful men run it. Not to say that there aren't good individuals inside government in leadership positions, but that the conglomeration of all that government is, is bad and will only get worse from here.

By its nature, government should be occupied by selfless civil servants, intent on finding the greatest good. By the times, we see the opposite is happening. It is infested the the most base, greedy, careless pompous kings, who create fiefs for themselves.

The people are fed up that there is such a leadership vacuum that by the time the antichrist comes on the scene, people clamor for solutions and accept his on the spot. The antichrist makes it clear fairly soon that ALL other government workers are considered "non-essential." Only antichrists need apply.
