Planted navy beans,pinto's and purple hull a few days ago. Purple hulls were seed collected from the spring(grew in the drought) and they sprouted in three days so maybe the fall crop will be better. Never,never never give up on gardening,there has always been droughts there always will be droughts, even in the Scriptures we can read about droughts, lol,...

gardening is not really the sort of thing that people just do in the spring when it's real nice outside it's a year round adventure. Well maybe now days it's just a hobby thing to some people and they just do it when it's nice in the spring and then give up when it gets hot at the end of June. Junes a good time to take an inventory of what will still grow in the heat and whats just a waist of time and water.

Okra grows pretty good in the heat in zone 8 in Texas(my wife made fried okra for us last night and it was mmm,,,good)...Peppers did pretty good(Jalapenos,bell) we dug them up last year and kept them in the greenhouse and then we transplanted them again in the spring. Were going to start new ones for next year because I'm not sure if the drought stunted them or not so new ones wont hurt right? Anyway even in the drought in Texas in 2022 never,never stop it's a 12 month a year adventure that turns into a lifetime in Gods wonderful creation. In the droughts and the heat of summer build compost piles,prepare your garden soil and praise the Lord and keep right on going....

Cost of Living Crisis: UK Sees Double-Digit Inflation, Highest Level in 40 Years

None of this is an accident!

What better way to introduce a "savior" on a "white horse". Are you starving, I have food, are you freezing, I have heat, all you have to do is receive the antichrist. Are you broke because they seized all your money and froze your bank account? All you got to do is receive the mark of the beast and worship him, the price is simply your eternal salvation.

Welcome to the Hunger Games

Winter is coming

Behold, a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand

5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

They aren't destroying the food system for no reason

It turns out that while destroying our existing network of food the people behind this are looking to replace it with their own food system which includes lab grown meat and food that they are able to track.

Can you blame them? They offered the food to us and everyone rejected it and turned up their nose, so really, what other option did they have?

It's sad to see these things taking pace around the world and I deeply do feel for the people you keep showing in the videos you post. It makes me wonder if people even watch the videos because few post or respond to a lot of your post(no offense intended in my observation)... These same things eventually will begin to appear on YouTube about the US I think but so far it seems that the media only covers nations outside the US.

I'm not asking for pitty by saying this but even me and my wife have had to alter things because of the economy. Simple things like coffee we find ourselves running out of from month to month. I was disabled when I was about 55 and so as things have gone up over the last ten or so years my check just doesn't cover it all anymore so things like coffee we just run out of from month to month waiting for the check to come. We cook our coffee on the stove like in the old days but when we finish in the morning we leave the rest in the pot and add a spoon the next day with the old grinds. If you put the pot in the icebox nothing gets in it and it works okay for two or three times before it gets to weak.

We needed gas for the riding mower(it's been raining yea,,,) and so we sifined gas out of our generator and my truck and came up with enough to mow it. Were really in a spot with our car because the plates and sticker expired in July and after the bills and food we just couldn't get it done yet. It makes me feel ashamed talking about things like coffee and gas after watching a video where people are skipping meals but it looks like that might be whats next for the US.

And it's all Biden's fault!

I post these things for several reasons.

First, a common refrain is we have had famines before, we have had food shortages before. The point of the Lord's word concerning this was not that they would be unique events in human history but they would be like birth pains, becoming more frequent with greater intensity. That is what I want to convey, the frequency and intensity is increasing.

Second, there are many responses that people will have, sadness is one, others will think that this is "bad news" and you should focus on something more happy, but what I see is the fulfillment of the Lord's word and that is a good thing. Many will think that is cruel because they don't understand what I am saying. We have been told since day 1 that the world is condemned, it will all collapse. One brother shared a story about a brother on an airplane. The pilot announced they were out of fuel and were going to crash in the ocean. When he heard that he unclicked his seat belt and began preaching to the people on the plane "are you ready for eternity" and began praying with them. He brought over 20 people to the Lord before the plane crashed and he died. However, not all died which is why we are able to hear this story. The brother concluded that we are all on an airplane that is going to crash. The proper response is to unclick the seatbelt and begin preaching. Like many have said you can't take your riches with you, but you can send them on ahead.

I am retired and living on a fixed income but as I see the Lord approaching the thing that concerns me is not that the cost of things are going up, what concerns me is that I would have money left in the bank at the time of the rapture. What a waste.

that's exactly how it all worked out in the end. I was on a fixed income and after a while it dawned on me and my wife that there was nothing fixed about the economy and so we just watched the prices go up and up until now. That's probably the only truth they ever told in that it's "fixed" and so it will never progress with the times.

It makes me sad to hear of your difficulties. It makes me even more sad that your local church has not helped.
The local church I am a part of would never let that happen to a member.
I will pray for you brother.

I don't blame Biden for anything. The poor old man does not have a clue what is happening.
I do blame those who control him for speeding up the process.
In the end it is the fault of many. Even those who continue to spend money on things not needed, but wanted.

Yes, we have come a long way from Truman in this brave new world.

According to the Wall Street Journal Red States have added 341,000 jobs since before the Pandemic. So despite all the issues we have had they have continued to grow. Meanwhile Blue States have lost 1,300,000 jobs
