Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and mild (51 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: a bunny, a neighbor, a robin, a shooting star and heard the horn of a freight train! Thank You, Jesus, for all the different sights and sounds!
In case you hadn’t heard, there was this morning-headline from Reuters: “Taiwan rattled by more than 200 quakes, but no major damage.”
The Reuters staff reported: “Largely rural and sparsely populated Hualien was hit by a “major” (7.2) earthquake on April 3 that killed at least 17 people, and there have been more than 1,000 aftershocks since, including two “strong” (6.0 and 6.1) quakes. Taiwan’s Central Weather Administration said the spate of earthquakes starting Monday afternoon were aftershocks from the large April 3 quake.”
Jesus said to His disciples, in Matthew 24:7, “For nation will rise against nation (check), and kingdom against kingdom (check), and in various places there will be famines (check) and earthquakes (check). Then, He added in verse 8, “But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs (pains).” In other words, as we get closer to the Lord’s return, the “signs” of HIs return will increase in frequency and intensity.” So, if you are a believer in Jesus, then watch, wait, work, witness for, walk with and worship Jesus until He comes. And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, simply agree with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believe He died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). Blessings with love, Doug (4/23/24)
