I Can't Help It..

I can't help it when I hear of another earthquake. I always think, "Wow, Jesus must be coming soon." I have this map that I check every now and then that has a list of all the earthquakes all over the world. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/

I go to this map on a fairly regular basis remembering the scripture, "Luke 21:11 And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven." When you look at this map over any length of time, you will recognize what I have.

There have been thousands of small, medium and large earthquakes just since I have been monitoring this map. Some say there are more earthquakes today than 100 years ago, others say we just have better instrumentation and media today. However, in my lifetime I don't remember earthquakes like the Haiti or now the Chile earthquakes. The loss of life, devistation and billions of dollars that will be needed is overwhelming.

How many earthquakes will it take for Jesus to come back?

I know that the Apostles thought that the Lord Jesus would come back in their lifetime. Here it is 2000 years later, and we are still waiting for Jesus to come in the sky. I can't help it, but I think what a great day that will be, and I remember it every time I hear of an earthquake.

John Travolta Sends an Airplane

John Travolta is sending an airplane to Haiti with supplies. It sounds like such a nice thing for a celebrity until you read a littler further. ( By the way, I love John Travolta. I have had the opportunity to talk with him for 30 minutes. He's a wonderful guy. He's had a really tough year. So, I don't begrudge him anything.)
 

The article goes on to say Travolta is sending "ministers" down to Haiti. These are ministers that recruit victims into his cult, Scientology. Haitians need medical personnel, supplies, and water. They need the very basics of life right now. Every person getting into that country right now is vital. The victims need skilled people to help get their families medical help or remove their loved ones from the rubble that still may be alive. CNN showed last night where they were still recovering people. The teams that are presently on the ground are struggling to do the very best they can with this catastrophe. The last thing they need are a non-skilled "ministers of Scientology."


It seems way up there on the ridiculous scale to waste this opportunity. Instead, because of celebrity, a "minister" of the gospel of Scientology is sent bumbling into a earthquake shattered country to do an "assist", which is equivalent to a bad massage.
