• Weirdness in my World

  •   I… am not faring well, today.  Remember the tree that split a few weeks ago, and fell across my goat pen? It was a BIG tree – and only half of it fell. We chopped it up, but the half that’s still standing is rotten.  Completely deteriorated, and it’s BIG, and it’s right between the goat pen, chicken coop, rabbit hutches, and Lydia’s bedroom.  I can’t have it falling on Lydia (and I wouldn’t be fond of flattening any critters, either)… so we called a tree chopper dude, and he’s HERE.  And he’s IN MY SPACE, and he’s got two grizzly, grunty dudes that are sticking their fingers thru the fence at the goats, and… and…

    I’m not having a stress-free morning, truth be told.  I don’t LIKE people.  Not out ‘there’ (wherever that is), and especially NOT nosing around on our land, sticking their fingers in at our critters.  I don’t like them scoping out our set-up, our possessions, our way of life.  I don’t LIKE it.  It’s nobody’s business, nobody’s.  And there they are, sniffing around, out there - I’m watching them do it!  I may lose weight and some blonde strands to gray by the time they leave.  I just had to put that on here, for posterity’s sake.  Not happy, Bob.  And not so much as a twig has even been dropped yet.

  • In other weirdness, I lay awake for a LONG time last night, trying to sleep, but one thought kept driving me crazy:  WHY would the Pope resign so close to (and before) Easter?  The timing is driving me crazy.  It happened just two weeks before the holiest week in their year, hello… why?  Isn’t that awfully close?  Couldn’t they have waited until AFTER the holiday?  Whole ‘nother thing?  It was so fast, so unexpected, so swifty executed, from farewell to Frank… it feels wrong.  I’m missing something, there.  What is it?  Why did it happen right before Easter, like that?  I don’t know.  If you have any ideas, I’m open to hearing them, because this seems really weird, and is bugging the heck out of me.
  • Not to change the subject, but did you see the asteroid defense article?  It’s called “If it’s Coming in Three Weeks, Pray.”  No crap, that’s the title of the secular asteroid defense article!  What is that?!?!?  Other than out of the blue, really freaky weird, and… and… my mind is yet again blown.  Here, let me get that for you:

  On February 15, a small asteroid exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia, generating shock waves that shattered windows and injured some 1,500 people. On that same day, asteroid 2012 DA14 made a close pass by Earth, at a scant 17,200 miles (27,700 km) from our world’s surface, closer than some communication satellites.

  In response to these events, the U.S. House Science, Space, and Technology Committee met in a hearing on March 19, 2013. The hearing was titled Threats from Space: A Review of U.S. Government Efforts to Track and Mitigate Asteroids and Meteors. Scientists and lawmakers discussed the risk of, and defense strategy for, an unforeseen asteroid or meteor on collision course with Earth. While trying to emphasize the need for adequate funding for detecting and characterizing near-Earth objects, and diverting them if necessary, NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said:

  From the information we have, we don’t know of an asteroid that will threaten the population of the United States. But if it’s coming in three weeks…pray.

  In other words, unless we know in advance that an asteroid is coming – and therefore have time to divert it – there is little we could do about an asteroid on a collision course with Earth. Bolden added:

  The reason I can’t do anything in the next three weeks is because for decades we have put it off.

  …as Chairman Smith pointed out:

  The meteor that struck Russia was estimated to be 17 meters and wasn’t tracked at all. The smaller they are, the harder they are to spot, and yet they can be life-threatening. Some space challenges require innovation, commitment and diligence. This is one of them.

  …John Holdren said the best way to detect objects that might be on a collision course with Earth would be to put an infrared-sensing telescope in a Venus-like orbit. Holdren estimated the cost of such a telescope to be between $500 million and $750 million. …NASA’s hunt for threatening asteroids will be affected by federal sequestration cuts, and at present funding levels NASA estimates it will take nearly 20 years to identify all potentially threatening Near Earth Objects.

  So basically, we don’t know what’s out there, we don’t have an early warning signal that would allow Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck to go out there and blow it up before it hit us and… where it gets weird is Charles Bolden’s statement.  Why three weeks?  What in the WORLD brought that statement out?  Do they know (or expect) something we don’t?  My gosh, that came out of left field.  I just… wOw.

  Anyhow, they (being secular) missed the significance of the Chelyabinsk meteor that I shared last month – that there was a divine REASON it hit Chelyabinsk, and a real message to be had from it (see LINK).  But the thing that gets me is that they’re expecting more from a secular view, and *I’m* expecting more from a Revelations 8 view… and the two views are in complete accord.  But more… they seem to have information I don’t – the ‘three weeks’ thing just struck me as important.  It’s weird…

  • uPDaTe:  In my comments, someone pointed something else out that I probably should mention as completely out there.  Today (Thursday) is 10 Nisan, four days before Pesach.  Today is the day we are to bring the lamb that we plan to cook for the Passover meal into our homes.  And y’know what else happened today (10 Nisan) in Israel?  Obama arrived for a visit.  The Jews are NOT happy – this is their holiest time, and all of the attention is being taken of Yehovah Elohim and being redirected to the President of the United States, instead.  I just… don’t understand why the Israeli gov’t would allow such a visit at this particular time.  It’s weird, don’t you think?  Why now?  Why not AFTER the feast, so that Obama has all the attention and people aren’t in the middle of their preparations.  Wouldn’t that be smarter for Obama?  There’s something there that I’m missing, too.  Unless his plan *was* to screw things up for the Jews, like a sliver in their palm, r’something….
