This world defies the definition of misery. 🥺. It’s just so much harder to cope without the hope.

Sadly, it has to be this way ... or they could turn around and say to Jehovah ... we were working on it - we had turned a corner ... and we were going to be ok. They can't say that to him now ... every corner of the world is affected in some way. Point of no return now. (Well it has been for some time from our perspective but from theirs - no argument anymore)

Joel 2: 31  The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood. Before the coming of the great and awe-inspiring day of Jehovah

India's been hit by a cyclone and a heat wave this month. That's all on top of the pandemic, which, of course, has the country under lockdown. The country's economy has also taken a hit with 100 million Indians having lost their jobs. And now they're beset with another problem : Locusts.

They violated the coronavirus lockdown and landed in deserted streets this week in India's Pink City, the tourist hub of Jaipur. But these were unwelcome visitors, and they turned the sky brown. It was like an eclipse.
