Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and cool (57 degrees) Wisconsin where I am still looking for a place to walk after my fall which put me out of action for a few days. Thank You, Jesus, for keeping me safe from serious harm! And, speaking of keeping me (us) safe from serious harm, according to the USGS, over the past 24 hours, there were 6 mostly “minor” (3.5, 3.5, 3.5, 2.7, 2.6, 2.6) earthquakes in Texas and a “strong” (6.1) quake in the Kuril Islands!

In my opinion (and I could be wrong), we are still in the early stages of the “birth pains” which, according to Jesus, in Matthew 24:8, will increase in “frequency and intensity” before His return. And so, dearly beloved in Christ, let us keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes. And, a “happy father’s day” to all the Dads! Love, Doug (6/14/25)

And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, there’s still time to become one. 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). And, if you do, I’ll see you in heaven. Glory to God! Doug (6/14/25)

The above headline really got my attention this morning. In the 1440 article, “Israel claimed responsibility for launching waves of airstrikes overnight against dozens of targets across Iran. Details of the attack, which Israel called ‘preemptive,’ are continuing to emerge, as of this writing. Iran said top military officials – including Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps leader Gen. Hossein Salami – were killed, along with nuclear scientists. Israel suggested the operation was not over. The attack came after Iran announced a new nuclear enrichment site yesterday, following a censure from the UN’S nuclear watchdog agency. A report last week found Iran conducted secret enrichment activities at three facilities and has amassed enough uranium at near-weapons grade-levels to make nine nuclear bombs. An Israeli official yesterday alleged Iran was working to assemble a nuclear weapon.”

Check out Ezekiel 38-39 in the Old Testament and you will see that Persia (modern-day Iran), along with Russia and a host of other nations will, one day, in the future, attack Israel to “capture spoil and to seize plunder” from the Israelis. This might just be the “early stages” of this prophecy. So, “stay on the alert,” as Jesus told us in Mark 13:33, 35, 37, and keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes. Love in Christ, Doug (6/13/25)

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and hot (80 degrees) Wisconsin where, 5 days ago, there was a “very minor” (2.0) earthquake near New Madrid, Missouri where, according to Wikipedia, there were “a series of intense earthquakes beginning with an initial earthquake of magnitude 7.2-8.2 on December 16, 1811, followed by a magnitude 7.4 aftershock on the same day. Two additional earthquakes of a similar magnitude followed in January and February 1812. They remain the most powerful earthquakes to hit the contiguous United States, east of the Rocky Mountains in recorded history. Question: “Is there another “great (8.0+) quake or two headed to New Madrid?” Stay tuned!

Happy anniversary with love to my wife, Judy!

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and warm (67 degrees) Wisconsin! Today, for my “earthquake lovers,” according to the USGS, there was a 6.4 earthquake in Chile, a 6.3 quake in Columbia, a 6.2 quake in Australia, a 5.9 quake in Taiwan, Tonga and Australia, a 5.7 quake in Panama, a 5.6 quake in the Falkland Islands and a “minor” (3.3) quake, 14 km, WSW of Manhattan Beach, California! Lots of quakes, but no “greats” (8.0+ on the Richter Scale and devastating). Check out Revelation 6:12,11:13, 16:18 and be thankful God is still merciful.

Lord willing, I’ll write again tomorrow. If the trumpet does sound and millions of people disappear, please 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). Love in Christ, Doug (6/11/25)

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and warm (69 degrees) Wisconsin where, not surprisingly, there was no earthquake activity. However, there was a “strong” (6.3) earthquake in Paratebueno, Colombia. The shallow quake struck at 8:08 a.m. at a depth of 6.2 miles, about 10.5 miles from the city of Paratebueno, which is about 116 miles southeast of the capitol of Bogota. Residents said they felt the tremor in cities including Medellin, Cali and Manizales.”

Yesterday, I was watching TV and trying to find something worth watching and found all kinds of preachers, some, like David Jeremiah, preaching the truth of God’s Word while others were, sadly, “putting on a show!” As a result, I decided to write more in my blog about the truth of the Gospel.

We learn, from John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” Jesus also said, in John 14:6, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.”

In other words, in order to go to heaven and have eternal life, you need to agree with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior (Jesus) and believe that 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). That’s it, pure and simple. Please know, if you are unsaved, I am praying for your salvation. And, if you are saved, I am praying for your sanctification/ Christlikeness. Love, Doug (6/9/25)

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and warm (71 degrees) Wisconsin where, according to the USGS, I found some unusual places for earthquakes today: a 5.1, in the Pacific- Antarctic Ridge Region, a 5.2 in the Western Indian Antarctic Region, a 5.3, 139 KM, NNW of Ridge Franz Josef Land, a 5.3, 139 KM, NW of Asan-Maina Village, Guam and a 6.3, 16KM, NNE of Palate Bueno, Columbia!

Now, I don’t know about you, but I have never heard of any of these places where there were earthquakes today. Remember, Jesus said that one of the “signs” leading up to His return would be “earthquakes in different places (Matthew 24:7, Mark 13:8 and Luke 21:11).” So, stay tuned and watch for more of these to come. Blessings with love in Christ till we meet again! Love in Christ, Doug (6/8/25)

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and warm (66 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my first walk after my fall, I saw: 5 robins, 2 ducks, a dove, a duck, and a squirrel! Thank You, Jesus! And, thanks to the USGS’ “Earthquake List,” where I was able to record 5 “moderate” (5.0, 5.1, 5.3, 5.5, 5.9 quakes) in Argentina, Colombia, Papua New Guinea, Greece, the Mid-Indian Ridge and a “strong” (6.4) quake in Diego de Alma. Remember, Jesus said, in Matthew 24:7, “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes.” He also told His disciples, in Mark 13:33, 35, 37, “Be on the alert!” I like to think of this with 6 “ws” – watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes. Love and blessings to you and yours in Christ, Doug (6/7/25)

Good afternoon, blog readers, from sunny and warm (73 degrees) Wisconsin where I did not walk again because I still haven’t found the right place to walk after my fall about a week ago.

In the meantime, I continue to monitor earthquakes where, over the past 24 hours, according to the USGS, there were 7 “moderate” (5.0-5.9) quakes in Chile, Fiji (2), Tonga, Greece, Japan, Panama, the South Sandwich Islands Region and an additional three “strong” (6.0-9.9) quakes in Chile, Fiji and Tonga.

Remember, Jesus said that the “birth pains” or “signs” of His return will come like “birth pains,” that is, in “frequency and intensity,” as we get closer to His return. Jesus also told His disciples to “stay on the alert” (Mark 13:33, 35, 37). So, keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes. Love in Christ, Doug (6/6/25)

Good afternoon, blog readers, from sunny and warm (74 degrees) Wisconsin where I still have not found a suitable place to walk in the morning, but did find a number of earthquakes to report which may lead to others, thus increasing like “birth pains” (Matthew 24:8), as Jesus said they would in Matthew 24:8. Here’s what I found: a

Good afternoon, blog readers, from sunny and warm (72 degrees) Wisconsin where I haven’t been walking of late because I may have told you I had a fall which has made me a little leery of walking. for now. Hopefully, I’ll be walking again soon and telling you about my walks in our new neighborhood.

In the meantime, let me tell you about the latest, significant “earthquake activity” over the last 24 hours where there has been: a 5.3 quake in Fiji, a 5.3 quake in the South Sandwich Islands Region, a 5.7 quake in Panama, a 5.8 quake in Greece, a 6.0 quake in Japan, a 6.0 quake in Tonga and a 6.4 quake in Chile. Stay tuned, as the earthquakes have been increasing in frequency and intensity like “birth pains,” as Jesus said they would in Matthew 24:8.
