The Return of Captain Butterfly!

Three a.m. this morning and I woke up to find Captain Butterfly grinning down at me. He had arrived back safely from his trip to Corfu with the Butterfly Conservers - then there was a bit of a blank - then the coffee machine was whirring away, and breakfast appeared.  Nobody makes coffee like Captain B,

But the elusive creature has already disappeared!   Its 8.30 and he has left for a hard day's Detectorising.   (He found, when he looked, that the sandwich fairy has visited the fridge - so he has his  lunch with him.)  And I have a full chicken dinner crammed into the fridge in its various components, as Jacks had to cancel yesterday - not at all well.

I am now back from the meeting and reading the newspapers on line.   It seems that churches have been bombed in Sri Lanka - an Easter bombing - many casualties. So yet more devastated families.  And the environmental protests are still bringing parts of London to a standstill.

I am reminded of something Jesus said about the time of his presence - the time just before the present wicked system of things on the earth is destroyed.  And please note, this lovely earth will not be destroyed.  Just the current system of things.

Jesus warned that these days - the days we are living in - would be like the days of Noah - which too was a time when the whole earth became filled with violence.

And he also spoke of the "anguish of nations, not knowing the way out".    What can we do about the problems we have?   Our own government in this one small country can't even work out how to leave the EU, or how not to leave it.

And its not that I would be doing any better.  They have an impossible job really.

The only answer for us, the only hope, the real hope,  is to turn back to our Creator, Jehovah, the God of Abraham.  And please God many many more will do so before the end.

You will find such a warm welcome among his congregated people - and guidance from the very Source of wisdom.
