Politics & the End Times
When it comes to politics, like I said yesterday, do not get me started about voting for which side. I DO NOT vote straight Republican or straight Democrat ANYMORE! I will be very very honest here, peeps, I believe both sides have their problems, lies, deceit, skeletons in the closet, and break promises after they get into office. I watch television every day and the crap I see on both sides can be mind blowing and sometimes real good.
As far as the end times coming, Jesus’ return is close. I read my Bible and talk to friends I trust about what I see and hear. I believe I have real good observation skills and what I see and hear around me can be pretty frightening at times. Even my family has problems I have not shared with many people. Even the end times we call the last days is getting closer when 50 years ago, a lot of things have happened more as I have gotten older and now see more death and illnesses around me because I am around elderly people more now than people my age even though I do have friends in my age group around. No one really visits one another nor talk on the phone anymore. Everyone wants to socialize on social media sites and text more than talk on the damn phone anymore. Everyone has gone to technology to communicate these days. To be honest, I miss the good ol’ days where we played outside until dark in the summer. Now everyone is on a cell phone 📱 or tablet playing games of playing video games attached to the tv 📺. I am guilty of always playing a game on my cell or iPad, or computer laptop. I am one person, though, who wants to have a conversation with a friend on the phone, though. I live to text like everyone else, but my life on Facebook, X (formally Twitter), and Instagram has become a place I rarely post anything become personal anymore because it has become a place of drama. I still have my accounts because I do share what I find important, special, funny, and spiritual worth sharing.
With Jesus’ second coming, I do not find it a joke or fake. I have had experiences I cannot explain in detail because my words get jumbled up, and a lot of people will think I am cuckoo or out of my mind. Seeing and hearing things on TV commercials, can scare the shit right out of me literally. My face gets warm with fear and anxiety, and panic will set in. I forget to ask God to help me at times when anxiety and panic and stress hit me HARD! I have to be reminded to talk to Jesus, and He will listen to me. I have talked to Jesus in the past and I have to remember to be grateful for his guidance in my life. He knows I love animals and especially cats and I had Emilee for 16 years, 7 months, and 2 weeks after adopting her at 8 weeks old and she was a sick kitty the first two weeks after adoption and two weeks before she passed away. I had Bing for 14 years and I adopted him when he was 15 years old from hyperthyroidism and kidney disease on September 29, 2020, then four days later, I adopted Magic who is now 4 years old, and I also have Millie who came onto Magic’s and my life on December 9, 2023 at 5 months old and is now 1 year old now. Both Magic and Millie are my emotional support pets and a doctor has written a letter or two to seem them my emotional support animals. We got a girl kitty for Magic, so he was not alone when I am at dialysis for two hours and forty-five minutes. He needed a playmate. The cats get along most of the time now.
As far as Facebook, X, and Instagram is concerned, I look at what interests me and go from there on a daily basis. I do not sit and reply to dramatic posts anymore and keep in contact with family and high school colleagues and friends. Even I like to talk on the phone, I have friends and family who do not want to talk on the phone really. I talk to my mom every Sunday, talk to my Aunt Jackie every once in a while, and my Dad, brother and sister-in-law mainly text. Dad calls every once in a while, though. He is hard of hearing now and so he texts weekly. He had to text direct questions once in a while before he gets the answer he is actually asking, though! It gets tough talking to him sometimes. He’s 82 years old for goodness sakes. My grandpa Clarence Fox hated answering machines and anything electronic in the house. He wanted to talk directly with the person. He was 93 years old when he passed and died from severe dementia/Alzheimer’s disease unfortunately in 2003 on February 15th. This world has gone to technology thanks to Steve Jobs and other very wealthy people who created the technology we have in this world today. I am guilty of being on such technology as well, but I grew up from 1982 with computers and game consoles around me and in my family’s home in my teenage years, and my first computer was a Commodore C64 at age 12-17 years. I got my own Commodore C64 from my stepfather when he found a second one and my mom thought I should have it. That year mom, in 1987, was home for Christmas because I just found out I needed a kidney transplant due to my own kidneys were either gone or only functioning at 4%. A scary time! Mom was in town to get tested and see if she could be my donor and it turned out she was. The transplant was scheduled for March 12, 1988, and I got my first computer/gaming console, and had it for 5 years.
Well… that’s all for now about politics and end times. More another day.
