Francis Schaeffer was a Christian philosopher who wrote a series of books in the 1960s. Hubby read them in the 1980s. They were already true. It just keeps getting more ridiculous decade by decade.
I saw what was happening with abortions in the 1970s, and said, "there will come a day, using this same lack of knowledge, where homosexuals will be able to get married in this country."
Now I see the next step is coming. Pedophiles will be accepted. (Gender-neutral bathrooms was first step.)
We can see what will happen based on what has happened in history (especially from the history in the Bible.) We can predict the next steps. I'm not so sure that is prophecy or simply observation.

Once mom found a really big wolf spider and of course as there was no man around she got me. I thought she needed my help carrying something upstairs when she called me...well when i came in she moved a blanket aside that was dried, the huge spider came out and mom ran, hid behind me saying “demi do something“ and I went “nope mom u can deal with that one urself.
We ran out of the laundry/bathroom and locked the door and didnt go in for DAYS. Havent seen the spider since but both of us alwaya go in with caution now lol eventho over a year passed

I wouldn't have had time to answer Mom before I was out the door. lol
Years ago, I was sleeping in bed, and I heard scurryscurry noises in my false ceiling. I'm from the suburbs and lived in the country before I moved into the city, so my mind instantly thought "raccoons?" "Opossums?"
But I live in the city, so couldn't be that. (BTW, by the time, I thought that out -- about a nanosecond of time, I was already down here in the living room.) Second floor, so I couldn't think rat, because they prefer ground level or lower.
Decided it was squirrels. Not a squirrel, but many squirrels. And false ceiling, (fiberglass insulation with a thin veneer on one side), so they could come crashing through any moment. I slept on the chair that night.
The only thing that got me in that room again was I'm not good sleeping sitting up. Nap? Sure, but not a night's sleep.
Never heard those squirrels again. BUT, about a year later, I heard the same sound in the false ceiling in our living room. Big difference between hearing that when you're asleep in a nice comfy bed in the middle of the night versus hearing it wide awake in the living room. I could think it out better. Mice!
(Slightly smaller than a squirrel, huh? lol)
We live in a rowhome, so our house is attached to our neighbors' houses, and there are 25 attached houses on just our side of the street. Critters can get through the walls. (Neighbor was having construction work done and a silverfish the size of my thumb was crawling on my wall. Several years later, and that wall still has a huge oil stain from the half can of Raid I sprayed it with. lol)
Ends up, three-doors-down was unoccupied for a couple of years, so the mice moved in. And then when it sold, they felt the need to relocated. The first ten years in this house, never a mouse. Now we kill (electronic traps) about 10 a winter.
I think they have the Mousy Olympics in our ceiling. Either that or a miniature Battle of the Bulge. Still beats raccoons, opossums or squirrels in the ceiling.
(They're so cute, I'd let them stay, if I could potty train them and keep them away from our grains. lol)

I have a few phobias.. Public speaking, tight, enclosed spaces and heights. Although, I have no problem riding a roller coaster. And I don't mind going upstairs.. It's the going down part that terrifies me. I'm so clumsy, just going down stairs, I get this image of myself face planting at the bottom of the stairs. 
My singing buddy!! Hi!!!
Hi!!!

I use to keep snakes and lizards as pets when I was young so I got use to handling them etc. Where I currently live I see snakes fequently. These are harmless and I go out of my way to protect them because they eat bugs and slugs in my garden. But I know people who jump out of their socks if they see any kind of snake. Sometimes this is because they came from regions where there were so many dangerous and poisonous snakes that they always get scared.
As I write this, the Eagles (ahem SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS ::coughcough: are headed to out Art Museum as the end of a huge parade.
I live two blocks from parade route. I'm a huge fan. (Betcha couldn't tell, but I am.) I also over did the last couple of days, so couldn't go. BUT as I look at the crowds, I realize I couldn't go anyway. I have a strange case of claustrophobic. It's not sticking me in a closet that would do me in. Not even sticking me in a trunk that would do me i. (And stop enjoying that image of me in a trunk.) It's crowds! I feel panicky in huge crowds. Matter of fact, even watching it on TV has me a little bit hyper. (Not enough to not watch, but I feel like I've done 3-4 cans of Red Bull.)
My other phobia is creatures with more than 4 legs. (Includes bugs, spiders and centipedes/millipedes.)
So, make me feel better. What are your phobias?
I'll be happy to shoo away a clown for you, if you could shoo away a crowd for me. lol
