The Sky Is Falling

... it hit me on the head.

I don't know about you, but as far as all the talk of the end of the world being later this year, we're plodding along as usual, making gains with our life skills, normal food storage for emergencies and paying off all debt.  Worried?  Not!  Life goes on no matter  what the news reports, or some long ago calendar.  We need to be aware of world events, stay calm, live each day to its fullest and go on with life.  Do you remember all the crazy predictions surrounding Y2K?  (Just saying;)  I see so many folks planning for the end of the world and yet they are ill prepared for today.  Slow and steady progress learning how to make do with little and using available supplies seems more reasonable than buying a year's worth of freeze dried EVERYTHING food that wouldn't appeal to me unless I was beyond starving.  We can't really prepare for such a mega disaster .. and who would want to be around afterwards?  Food for thought.

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age ...

Titus 2:11-12

Floral-bundance! I just love to make up new words. And 'floral-bundance' seems to fit the description of this lovely bouquet I picked from the garden when my parents were visiting. Included are peonies, cat mint, wild lupine, and spirea.

The Beginning:

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of god was hovering over the waters ... Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: see-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds ... and it was so."

From Genesis, Chapter 1 (NIV)
