PC and the Swine Flu

Maybe I have not had enough coffee this morning, but as the Swine Flu story seems to be the lead story on every newscast and in every newspaper I have to laugh at this:

People in the Holy Land find pigs offensive and want the name Swine Flu changed. Does anyone else find that ridiculous? The flu is named Swine Flu because it comes from a pig virus...How has humanity become so sensitive and PC? Should we call each other offensive names? No!!! But to change the name of a virus, give me a break.

My county has at least 30 cases, I suspect schools may close next week. I will shop early in the a.m. when the grocery store is not crowded. I will sanitize my hands when I get into my car. I will wash them when I return home. I will not touch my face. I will sleep, eat well, take my vitamins and minerals, drink plenty of water, and probably not hug and shake hands at church or in public for the next couple of weeks.

But my number 1 strategy is this:

I will plead the Blood of Jesus over myself from the top of my head to the soles of my feet daily. I will trust in the Lord and not be afraid. I will pray protection from sickness and disease over myself and family.

I dwell in the shelter of the Most High, I rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

I declare the Lord is my refuge and my fortress. I trust my God.

God will save me from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence.

God covers me with His feathers, I will take refuge under His wings. His faithfulness is my shield and rampart.

I will not fear the terror of night or the arrows that fly by day.

I will not fear the pestilence that stalks in the darkness or the plague that destroys at midday.

Pray Scriptures over yourself and family...it's a powerful way to pray!

Love, Annette

Yes, it is silly and I pray that it stays far away from you. We have had one confirmed case here in my county in MI.

Joel Rosenberg & Ezekiel 38-39

I wanted to share a little info compiled by author Joel Rosenberg concerning a few chapters from the book of Ezekiel. This has caused me to wonder since Iraq is in such a mess; if that's why it is not listed as a country which attacks Israel. Revelation 18 goes on to say: 2With a mighty voice he shouted: "Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit,a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird. 3For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries." If Iraq becomes a land of such rich excesses, could it be 1 of the only major oil producers left? (This is food for thought on my part.) In a moment, I will walk you through the prophecies step-by-step. But first, let me note that the predictions found in Ezekiel chapters 36 & 37 have already come true. These are the famous ...
