Book Review " One Second After"

Hello Beloved,

I have finished reading this new book. It was an eye opener too. It was fiction but like the last book I read it was based on true facts. The book is called:
" One Second After" by William R. Forstchen. It has a foreword by Newt
Gingrich. I think it is something we should all know about at least.
The subject is EMP: Electromagnetic Pulse Weapon.

The book is about a man who lives in mountains of North Carolina and how when this weapon is used it sends the entire country back into the Dark Ages.
At home speaking with his friend on the telephone and then all of sudden
the phone is dead and the ceiling fan starts to slow down , thinking it must be
power outage, he goes ahead with his plans to cook out on the grill. Soon his daughter says to him, " Dad, something is strange". Silence, no sounds of traffic, no air traffic, nothing.. What is going on?
There are cars stopped on the roads not moving , power out everywhere.. Is it a solar storm that maybe has short circuited? Oh, here comes the mother-in-law with her old Edsel car.... They take it out to see the reason for all the stopped cars... He tries to start his own car and nothing. Being a retired military man he has an idea of what has happened.... EMP.
This weapon works like this: when an atomic bomb is detonated about the earth's atmosphere it can generate a " pulse wave" which travels at the speed of light and will short- circuit EVERY electronic device that the wave touches on the earth's surface...( taken from the Foreword by Newt Gingrich).
So, now with nothing electronic working, anything that is run by computers, ie: lights , all medical equipment, refrigeration, ect.... What will happen?
War breaks out within the community , looting, shooting, food shortage, death.
To find out more about EMP and the story line you need to read this amazing book. Is there really truth to it, or is it just a sci-fi type book to read? I guess you wil have to make up your own mind, I have.
Remember: Smile today it is when you are the most beautiful you can be and someone needs to see it today. God Bless and tenderly with arms wrapped about you..... your sister in Christ Jesus... vickie

Just thinking Out Loud

Hello Beloved,

I just finished my morning prayer and it made me start thinking about things.
Things like,,, the vastness of the universe, and how far Jesus had to come to live among us. Why He did what He did for us, you know, dying on the cross... How it must have felt for Him here. Being down here and doing all the miracles He did and STILL people turned away from Him.. I can not image why?
I heard a preacher talk about Paul last weekend and how when Paul was in prison and chained 24 hours a day to a prison guard and not knowing when he would be taken to be killed, how he remained calm and in touch with Christ.
I don't know about you, but I have read and read and heard many time the words of Paul but for some reason when I heard them this last time, it clicked.
The scripture this preacher talked about was in Philippians 4: 4. You know it I am sure...
" Rejoice in the Lord always, I will say again: Rejoice!"
Now, you have, like me heard that and read that many times... but have you ever thought about what that means? I apparently had not, until I heard it last week... Do you want to know a secret? I think the secret is 'in the Lord always".
Doesn't matter what your going through ,, good or bad. If we will just remember that "IN THE LORD " is where rejoicing is suppose to be, not in the trouble we have or the good things , but "IN THE LORD"..
I know how hard it is to do this... I have had troubles where I forgot and also I have forgotten in my good times... But , after listening to this preacher and how it was said I won't forget anymore..... Just remember that in your times of trouble, to just step outside of them and remember that to have peace you have to " Rejoice , in the Lord always, again , Rejoice" .
I know that most people already knew this so today I am really just speaking to
myself, sometimes I am pretty slow at catching on... It is about having a close personal relationship with our Savior, our Lord, our Father, our Friend, Jesus Christ.. I am so working on this relationship....
I pray that today you will have that closeness too... Dear Lord, for everyone who would read this, I pray that eyes will be open, hearts will heal, and that whomever it is that they would know , no matter where they go in this earthly body that You are truly standing with them... and they CAN rejoice because You
are there with them... Thank you for my revelation in this ... I love you , Lord.
I pray for your will to be done.. In Jesus name Amen.
Remember : Smile , it is a free gift from God to you to share with others...
Tenderly with arms wrapped about you... your sister in Christ Jesus.. vickie

New Book Review

Hello Beloved,

I am going to give my opinion of a new book I just read.. The book is called
"The Harbinger: The Ancient Mystery that holds the Secret of America's Future
by Jonathan Cahn.
Pat Robertson " Extraordinary" , Joseph Farah, " Stunning" Sid Roth," Mind Blowing " This is what you will find on the front cover of this book.
While this book is Fiction it holds in it some basic truths.. When you read this book please remember you can look these facts up for yourself...
The book tells a story about what happened to Israel back in Isaiah 9:10-11 (KJV) and then goes on to show how it relates to us here in America today.
I am sure we who were old enough at the time of September 11, 2001, can remember where we were on that day , what we were doing, how we felt as we watched our country come under attack.... We also remember the days following the attack I am sure.... But did we all know how it was connected to
what happened to ancient Israel? I would think probably not.. I didn't anyway...
Rabbi Cahn, takes us through scriptures and explains to us what he believes the meaning behind the attacks were..... Please remember , if you must, you can always look up the facts yourself..... Rabbi Cahn even gives you a listing of where to find them as he did....
I know I will never look at the scriptures in Isaiah 9:10-11 the same again... I know that it is time for the people of the United States of America to wake up
and remember how our country was started and by whom....I really cannot say a lot more or I will give away the eye opening experience of every person who will take the time to read this amazing book...
Dear Lord God,
I pray that if just one person see this and gets this book. I pray that their eyes be open and they truly know what it means to give their life over to the Living God who created them... Thank you , Lord , for Rabbi Cahn and the words you gave him to tell us......
Remember to Smile: God gave it to each of us to pass it on!!!
your sister in Christ Jesus,
vickie
