Christ in the Clouds

Well, it’s not “officially” Spring until March 20 th , but I’m already feeling that “Spring Vibe”!! It’s been a busy week for us….but first, coffee!!!     As, I stood out on our deck, I saw 3 deer grazing down by our flowing creek on our property. TIhe sound of the strong flowing water, along with almost tame deer is so relaxing!    There are also three trees on our property that I have always wanted. I think they are called “Italian Cyprus” ( https://www.italymagazine.com/featured-story/how-plant-and-grow-italian-cypress-tree ) We saw some of them when traveling through Arizona last year, but I never thought we would ever own one, let along 3. .   A Primrose blooming!!   We had “tree trimmers” come out and trim our big oak and pine trees, which really opened up the views from the deck.

The rich soil produced wheat and barley, vines and fig trees, pomegranates, and olives. There, the Israelites would lac k nothing. Described in Scripture as “a land flowing with milk and honey,” the soil was rich for agriculture and shepherding, the mountains provided security and protection from the elements and their enemies, and the arid climate provided perfect conditions for livestock to thrive. (Exodus 3:17; Numbers 13:27, Deuteronomy 8:6-9) In Genesis 12:1, God tells Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you." God later confirms this promise to Abraham'...

First came the Bomb Cyclone, which I mentioned in my last post!  Then on December 5, a 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Northern California, which prompted a tsunami warning for parts of the California and Oregon coastlines. Praise God, nothing came of that warning. That was followed by a recen t UFO sighting on December 7th. Multiple pilots reported strange, red circular lights zipping arou nd in the sky during flights over Oregon. The sightings occurred near Eugene, with pilots describing the objects as moving erratically at various high altitudes and in corkscrew patterns at extreme speeds. But Air Traffic Control could not see anything in satellite images. The sightings continued along the Oregon coast, up through Washington and even into Alaska over a sh...
