Are The Tornados Tearing Our Country Apart Ever Going To End?
Why is our country experiencing so many tornados? Normal weather just doesn’t happen anymore. As our earth keeps getting warmer the weather keeps getting more severe. The last storm that went through the middle of our country produced 40 tornados. Even California, Oregon and Washington are experiencing major winds. Are they tornados? I would say yes. Our earth folks is having major changes, just like the Bible says it will. Look at our state, Florida who is going through major changes. In the last couple years tornados have hit us. Besides the major drought we are having it is hurricane season. We have been very lucky since Hurricane Charlie done its damage. Look at the major rain and floods South America is having, especially Peru. Everybody scoffs at global warming and say it is a hoax. The world better wake up including our country. Meteorologist have been warning the world for many years. Folks my opinion on this weather situation is that I think things are going to get worse. Who controls the weather? God does. He is angry on how human beings are living. The ancient world before us was destroyed by a flood. Like I said before folks, God hates sin. This is why he sent his son to earth to die a horrible death on the cross to forgive our sins. The only way God will accept forgiveness is the shedding of blood. For all Christ did for us he didn’t even get a thank you. All we have to do is recognize we are sinners since birth. Next, repent of these sins and ask God for forgiveness. Next, believe in our Savior Jesus Christ that he died on the cross for us. Believe he shed his blood for our trespasses. Next, believe and trust he was buried in a tomb and was resurrected by God to Heaven. Folks remember, without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. In the Old Testament animals were killed for sin sacrifices but their blood only covered them up, it did not forgive the sins. Since Christ’s resurrection he is our High Priest now. He is a mediator between us and God. When he returns again in the clouds he will be coming for his church, the ones who believed and trusted him as Lord and Savior. Folks, make that commitment to him before it’s too late. Things are happening fast in biblical prophecy. Folks you can learn all this information from your Bible. Revelation’s prophecy is already happening with the King of the North Gog and Magog. Thank You.

Good Ole Boys
I was only 19 years old and working full time at Winn Dixie. I started putting up frozen food when I first got to Arcadia, that was part of the produce department. A guy by the name of Chuck Sloan had been in a motorcycle accident and couldn’t work so they needed someone to do his job while he was out. Well, that was me. He came back later and got his job back so then I was put in the fresh produce department. You know lettuce and tomatoes and stuff. Soon, I was asked if I could run the produce department. Ervin Moore would still be the store manager, I would just be in charge of the produce department. I knew that it paid more money, so I said I would. My supervisor was a man by the name of Ellis Ware. He was a very clean cut, well-dressed man. When he asked me about the Produce Managers job, there were a lot of things he wanted me to change. The main thing he wanted me to change was the horseplay. His famous saying was, baseball had innings and football had timers, but horseplay didn’t end until someone got hurt. I guess he thought we did a lot of horseplay. Well, we probably did. Throwing rotten tomatoes at the meat department was horseplay but boy it was fun though. Back then we were closed on Sundays, but they started opening on Sunday just about the time they made me produce manager so I had to work a few hours on Sunday. Remember I was only 19 years old and now produce manager. When I got my first full pay check as produce manager, I went to my Dad’s house to show it to him. I was so proud. I had been making good money anyway, but now I was really making it. I just knew my Dad was going to be proud. When I showed him my paycheck, he took a long look at it. He then looked at me and said, “son, that’s more money than me and your momma make put together”. I just stood there. What do you mean I said? You see, I never really knew how much him and mom made. We just never talked about it. He said, “son you bring home more money than me and your momma make”. Not just what they brought home but what they made. I didn’t know what to say. I was 19 years old and making more than both of my parents put together. Still today I find that crazy. How did they live? I mean I knew they never had much, but how did they live off of what they made? I just don’t get it. After that, I just continued to get more and more money. It was a good job. The hardest part was ordering the right amount without running out of something. Produce has a short shelf life. That means, it will die if it is left on a rack for very long, so keeping it rotated was a constant job. I also remember the truck loads of potatoes. They came in 50 lb. bags and the whole semi-trailer was full of them. What a back breaking time that was. We used flat carts and on one end was a hook for a handle. The handle could be used on any cart. One day someone pushed the handle all the way down and set a sack of potatoes on it. I thought I was just going to flip the potatoes off the handle and move the potatoes so I flipped the potatoes off sure enough, but the handle came up and caught me right on the chin. Dang what a hit, right on the chin. Well it didn’t knock me out but it knocked me off my feet and put a 2 inch cut on the bottom of my chin. I didn’t want to go the hospital, but I had to go and get 6 stitches. Man that hurt. While I was still bragging about getting hit so hard and not being knocked out, my supervisor came in again. This time he wanted me to take the Assistant Store Managers job. By this time I had turned 21. It had only been a few months, but I was still only 21. As produce manager, I had to work with and be the boss of some people that were a lot older than me and had been with Winn Dixie a lot longer. I didn’t like that much as it was and I knew that there would be a lot more of that as Assistant Store Manager but I also knew there would be more money, so of course I said yes. I did ask my supervisor that if for some reason I was not good at it could I return to produce. He said of course and so the next week I was the Assistant Store Manager of Winn Dixie. Mr. Moore had retired and had moved on to a big company that sold merchandise to Winn Dixie and the new manager was Jim Thornton. He was a great man and excellent store manager. He put up with me and taught me how to be a good assistant. I sure do appreciate what he did for me. Thank you Mr. Thornton…

Our Father, who art inheaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, The power, and the glory, Forever and ever. Amen.
