More sad news from the Zone. An old friend has just been diagnosed with MND. That is such a nasty one, but we are all at the age where things start to happen. The Biblical warning about "threescore years and ten" still holds good - and will until the Thousand Years begins. But how short our lives are now. Here we are, with this amazingly complex brain, which I think science does now acknowledge looks like it was made to go on making connections forever, and yet, at best, we only last a few decades.
Seventy years goes so quickly.
If the current system of things on the earth lasts for 10 more years, will any of us Zoners still be around? Not many, that's for sure.
But will it? Who knows? What we do know is that the last time the earth became filled with violence, Jehovah stepped in. And we, the children of Adam, have never forgotten the Deluge of Noah's day.
This time though it will be a lasting deliverance. We are assured that "distress will not rise up a second time".
And already the Kingdom of God, the heavenly government for whose coming Jesus taught us to pray, is operative on the earth, teaching millions of us, from every tribe and nation and tongue, to live in peace as the brothers and sisters we truly are.
I am trying to think what I did yesterday - cast my mind back all of 24 hours - think think - the Supermarket delivery came - I got some sunshine studying out on the balcony. Made us lunch and supper - veggie soup, fresh fruit (berries) salad for lunch, and pizza and yoghourt for supper. Chatted to a friend on Zoom - oh and while I was doing so the phone rang, Captain B took it. He said it was one of the congregation elders reminding me that I had a part in the Ministry School in November.
Reminding me?
Part??
November???
Panic. Must ring him today and find out. Where is that complex brain? Clearly not doing all it should or could at the moment. I am a damaged child of disobedient Adam, but, one day...
