Thank you for your prayers. I am better today. When are we leaving this world? I was teaching an online class when I heard a knock on the door. I got distracted. there was knocking again. I ignored it and kept on teaching. a minute later somebody was knocking very loudly on the door. I got startled. I put the microphone on mute, told my students I will be back and opened the door. Kids were selling candy. I told them there is no need to knock so hard on the door and be persistent. I am working from home. I went back to my laptop, a few minutes later, there was loud hammering on my door that almost shock it. I told the students again I will be back. I opened the door and the kids were running towards the exit laughing. Why the persistent knocking and the hammering? the kids weren't too young. don't they know someone might be sleeping, not well,. ................. I wonder if those kids come around again and be happy just to annoy me. Criminals get away with crimes because they have so much rights and protection. Who gets hurt and there is hardly anyone to help? it's the innocent. Too many kids are not well behaved and out of control. No parents to teach them manners and good behavior. Who gets hurt? innocent people whom the kids are disturbing. you can't do anything to discipline kids these days. it is all considered child abuse. I am agitated and shaking. I was hoping to be able to rest when I finish work. I am also almost in tears. I am hating this world more and more everyday. Thank you very much, Terry. It's beautiful! Continued prayers for you, Heidi! :prayer-hands: I just got word from my brother … that our older California brother passed away this morning. . His wife came home from work and found him unresponsive. She called the paramedics but they couldn’t revive him. But thankfully he was saved. I’m curious to know the autopsy … he was heavy for many years and then lost a lot of weight and was down to his normal weight. His last job was stressful … good pay but dealing with druggies / drug busts … doing action pack cop work … one time he said he heard a voice (guardian angel or the Lord?) say get out of the truck now … so he pulled over and got out and ran and then the truck blew up. Someone planted a bomb underneath. He was 67 yrs old so not sure if he retired or was still working? His wife apparently is still working at the hospital. Then I’m wondering if he had to get the COVID shot? I asked my brother to find out. Well this brother was a postie and would agitate me with mocking the pretrib view. But he now knows its pretrib :good: and he is part of the “dead in Christ” group! :whistle: I’m just kind of shocked though he went so soon May God comfort you Geri. I am relieved to hear that he was a believer. Praying that God will save the rest of your family and loved ones. Thank you very much for praying for others on this forum . As you think of Terry, would everyone lift her up in prayer however the Lord leads you. :bible She has not posted for a couple of weeks now. :rose: 
but I take comfort it was the Lord’s will … perhaps there is somebody in the family that needs saving and it will shock them to do so since long life isn’t a guarantee. The other day I was praying for everybody in my family and various members on this forum that has lost loved ones that still need saving. I’m thinking when my uncle Joe (my aunt’s ex) hears this news about my brother “it might” shock him to get saved as well as my aunt’s oldest son John? Uncle Joe used to dress up as Santa Claus and hand us our gifts when we were real little … so he is going to take this very hard I’m sure that he out lived his little nephew
