Texas Drought Worst in 44 Years

We have talked about the worst drought in Russia last summer that decimated their crops, followed by the worst flood in Pakistan that ruined their crops, followed by a "biblical" flood in Australia that wiped out their crops, and also rumors of floods in Brazil that are making it hard on their crops. Now we have radiation poisoning in Japan that is forcing them to dump crops and milk.

We can not afford to have poor crops in the USA this year. So this headline today out of Texas is something to watch.

Worst Texas Drought in 44 Years Damaging Wheat Crop, Reducing Cattle Herds

The worst Texas drought in 44 years is damaging the state’s wheat crop and forcing ranchers to reduce cattle herds, as rising demand for U.S. food sends grain and meat prices higher.

Texas, the biggest U.S. cattle producer and second-largest winter-wheat grower, got just 4.7 inches (12 centimeters) of rain on average in the five months through February, the least for the period since 1967, State Climatologist John Nielsen- Gammon said. More than half the wheat fields and pastures were rated in poor or very poor condition on March 20.

Dry conditions extending to Oklahoma, Kansas and Colorado may cut crop yields in the U.S., the world’s largest exporter, as too much moisture threatens fields in North Dakota and in Canada. Wheat futures in Chicago are up 50 percent in the past year, after drought in Russia and floods in Australia hurt output and sent global food prices surging. Wholesale beef reached a record this week, and the U.S. cattle herd in January was the smallest since 1958.

Jesus said there will be wars and rumors of wars, nation will rise against nation, earthquakes in various places, famine and pestilence.

With a few billion people already going to bed hungry around the world....it sure appears that famine may be upon us.

Now here is the GOOD NEWS! Jesus also said that when you see these things BEGIN to happen, then lift up your heads because your redemption is drawing near.

Friends, I'm pretty sure that Jesus is talking about the time when the Holy Spirit will be withdrawn from earth....an event commonly referred to as the rapture.

Can you feel the mountains tremble? Can you see how the things of this world seem to be passing away? Have you laid up your treasures in heaven where moth and rust will NEVER destroy?

He who has eyes let him see. He who has ears...let him hear.
