Farmland and Gold

Even a cursory glance at today's headlines can get you wondering; what the heck is going on??

We have looters in Chile after the worst earthquake in history, dead people floating in flood water in Europe after the worst storms in history, it's raining in Haiti creating a mud bath of germs and disease in the refuge camps after the worst earthquake in history, Marie Osmond's teen-age boy killed himself,....good grief....how much can we take??

The Bible says these days are coming....but Jesus says they MUST come....so encourage each other with these words.
