In Matthew 24 Jesus gives a discourse on the signs that will happen before He returns again. He spoke of wars, and rumors of wars, that kingdom would fight against kingdom, and that there would be famines and earthquakes in diverse places. Then he goes on to say that these will be the beginning of sorrows. In the Greek and Hebrew, sorrows isn’t the best translation, the words birth pains or labor would be a more correct translation. After an expectant mother carries a baby in her womb for nine months, and when the time for the delivery is at hand, labor comes on unexpectedly. It is this sharp pain that tells the mother that she needs to get to the hospital very quickly. As the time for delivery gets closer, the interval between labor get closer and closer together, and becomes even more intense. The same is true with Jesus’ signs of the times. YEARS --- NUMBER OF QUAKES DURING THIS PERIOD --- TOTAL DEATHS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From 1960 to 1969 --- 28 major quakes from 4.2 to 9.5 --- 67,478 From 1970 to 1979 --- 35 major quakes from 4.5 to 8.0 --- 429,726 From 1980 to 1989 --- 36 major quakes from 5.0 to 8.0 --- 30,819 From 1990 to 1999 --- 47 major quakes from 5.6 to 8.2 --- 60,268 From 2000 to Present 2009) --- 405 major quakes from 4.8 to 9.5 --- 687,211 And we have had 12 major quakes in 2010 237,000 The above information came from the Wed site World Earthquake History. It documents earthquakes throughout the world. We can trace the pattern of Jesus’ labor pains in the area of earthquakes. The same also hold true with WARS AND RUMORS OF WAR- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1900 to 1945 (45 Years) --- 40 major wars World War I --- 13,690,430 World War II --- 61,000,000 1946 to 1989 (45 years) --- 102 major wars Korean War --- 5,640,410 Veitnam War --- 6,264,758 1990 to 2008 (18 years) 94 major wars Gulf War, Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, 2 Iraq wars In Luke 21:25 we see more Birth Pains revealed in a list that must take place before the Savor comes again. And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars. On the earth nations will be in anguish at the ROARING AND TOSSING OF THE SEA.” This birth pain hit on Dec 26th, 2004 as a massive Tsunamis hit Indonesia killing over 212,000 people. Another labor pain came 8 months later with Hurricane Katrina. It was the greatest natural disaster of our time that hit the American coasts. Due to the 175 miles per hour winds, this hurricane claimed the lives of 1,836 due to the roaring of tossing of the sea. Was this just bad luck, or was it Birth Pains? In 1997 we had 19 major solar flares blow out from the sun. In 1999 we had 136. Last month alone we had 153. Could this be what it is talking about in Revelations 16:8 when the 4th angel poured out his vial upon the sun, and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat… And then we have the killer Tornados and Twisters. Burma's Cyclone that killed 74,000 with another 60,000 missing. Not to mention that this year in the states we have tornado's in areas that there have never been before. (2007) Bad luck, or Birth Pains? So the question is, do you see the signs, or are you to busy with the cares and concerns of the day. Over the last couple of years, inspired men have heard the whisperings of the spirit telling them that we need to prepare. Sadly, few are taking this very seriously. The question is, should we take this preparedness thing seriously, or should we just continue as we have been, just kind of taking life as it comes along. It is my prayer that we prepare in faith.

Oh happy day!

Too many words.

Coronel Sanders went to the Pope many years ago just before his death. He said, "Your Eminence, our Chicken sales are way down. McDonald's sales are going through the roof. Burger King is on the rise. Sir, Kentucky Fried Chicken will pay you $1,000,000 if you will change the wording in the Lord's prayer from give us this day our daily bread to give us this day our daily Chicken." Very quickly the Pope came back, "Oh, I am sorry my son, but I cannot change the wording of Holy Rit. I can not." I understand responded Coronel Sanders. And then he went back to his corporate headquarters. 6 months came and went and Coronel Sanders went back to see the Pope. Again he said, "Your Eminence, KFC will pay the Catholic Church $5,000,000 if you will just change the wording in the Lord's prayer from "give us this day our daily bread to give us this day our daily chicken." And again the Pope came back, "I am sorry, my son, again, my hands are tied. I cannot change the wording of my Lord and Savor." I understand responded C.S. Over the next year as KFC numbers began to plumit, again Coronel Sanders came back to the Pope one last time. He humbly knelt before the Pontif and began, "Sir, please, please help us. We will give the Catholic Church a $100,000,000 if you will just do the simple change of the wording in the Lord's pray from "give us this day our daily bread to give us this day our daily chicken." The Pope thought about it for a minute and then said, "well, I guess it all comes down to interruption. We'll do it." The next day the Pope went to the meeting with all the hierarchy of the Catholic Church. He said, "Brethren, I have good new and bad new. The good news is that KFC has just donated $100,000,000 dollars to the Catholic Church. The bad news is, we just lost our Wonder Bread account."

Just too many words

When my number 2 son was 5 he lost a tooth. He put it under his pillow hoping for great revenue. Dad left the tooth fairy business up to his wife as he didn't know that his son lost as tooth as he got home at 11:00 P.M. Mom forgot all about the tooth until our 5 year old came in crying the next morning. He lamented, "Oh, the tooth fairy doesn't love me. She didn't leave me any money." To which my wife, quickly grabbed some money and as she pretended to check in the pillow case pulled out a couple of dollars that made my son very happy. Now he knew that the tooth fairy loved him. Later on that day, my son came up to my wife and asked, "Mom, can I put my tooth under my pillow again tonight?" My wife smiled and said, "I'm sorry Chris, but you can't collect twice on the same tooth." To which my son responded, "No not so I can get more money, but so the tooth fairt won't get in trouble for not turning in a tooth." To bad they have to grow up. He is not 18 and not so warm and fuzzy.

It is sad that the problem has gotten so large.

I'm not sure I know the answer for sure. I had to look up what gestational diabetes was. I am a diabetic and as a result have done a great deal of study on the subject. The one thing that I have learned is that when there is a lot of insulin in our blood streams, as a result of eating a lot carbs then all that insulin promotes the the body to store fat and to not use it because it wants to get rid of all the glucose, sugar, and insulin in your blood stream before it starts chipping away again at the fat cells. However, if you are controlling your glucose and sugar to well, then it won't be required to make as much insulin. In the absence of insulin, your body produces the hormone glucion??? (not quite sure about spelling) that melts away the fat cells by the bucket full. (From the book Protien Power) This hormone is what made the Atkins diet so successful. With only trace amounts of insulin and carbs in your system, your body produces large amounts of this amazing hormone. It kind of sounds like this is what is happening in your body. You are controlling your snacking, insulin and sugars too well. When a person primarally has the hormon glucon in their system instead of insulin, then you could end up losing 1 to 2 pounds per day. This is my best guess. I am a custodian and store manager by trade but I enjoy reading a lot, so this is where I get my knowledge. On the other hand, my teenagers don't think I have a clue. But maybe this might give you insight into where you are.
