We are having very stormy weather, with wonderful seas. We love living with the sound of the sea. I like the winter anyway and the stormy seas do add to the drama of it.
Apparently the Romans, in the days they were occupying Britain, called February the month of fill-dyke, as there was so much rain. Well, this year, January has filled our dykes so much I don't know if there can be much more water up there.
The metaphorical storm was that I was suddenly removed from Facebook, then just as suddenly returned, after an appeal. But I have been wondering for some time if I should be on the venue. It seems to be getting meaner, and also am I wasting too much time on it.
On that basis though - well, the time-wasting one - I probably ought to be banned from Youtube.
The internet and now AI are ushering in a strange new world - the full effects of which are unquantifiable. Has any generation seen more change than our generation - apart, that is, from Noah and his family? When they came out of the Ark, the earth they last saw when Jehovah closed the door of the Ark would have been changed beyond belief. Just the weight of all the water coming down must have changed the landscape immeasurably. And, interestingly, Jesus himself likened the days we are living in now to "the days of Noah". We are very close to our rescue, and this time it will be a lasting deliverance.
Medical things resume next week, as I have my scan. It seems likely it will be followed by an operation - and I just don't know if I can face, or survive, the horrors of the wards again. This is the stormy weather of old age.
And re the News - well, it does not get any better. The horrors increase. And the continuing revelations about the Epstein scandals are telling us just how corrupt the whole system of things is. But please do not despair. Jehovah has assured us that he will be making all things new.
There will be a new and perfect government over the earth - the heavenly one, the Kingdom of God - and think of having a new body, a perfect one. Then we can learn to perfectly reflect our loving, wise Creator in all our ways.
And, at the end of the Thousand Years when all here on the earth is paradise, what wonderful new things might there be? The thing is to listen to Jehovah now, and be there to find out!
