Here's my update for Wednesday September 27, 2026
Surely by now you have noticed prices at the gas pump have gone way up. I paid $5.14 per gallon. At a hotel this morning I paid $11 for about 8 oz. of bottled water! I had to ask the clerk twice!
How are young people ever going to make it on their own?
We are beginning to see some very dark days ahead. Our youth cannot just stay at home with their parents... or can they? Do we still have a choice?
None of us wants our child to be homeless, but we don't relish the idea of them not being able to leave the house. Our grandparents never faced this debacle.
Life was easier back then. My grandpa paid $0.15 for a gallon of gas. The cheapest I have paid was 19.9 cents per gallon and our rent was $50 a month!
The Bible says it will get worse before it gets better. But Prophecy was written so we could prepare for troubles. Unfortunately, though, today that seems impossible for many of us.
Pray for others that are not so blessed. I know one lady that sleeps in her car. She is having real trouble avoiding high prices and those who just want her to go away.
These are difficult problems only Jesus can and will solve when he comes. I try to grow some of my own food, but I cannot grow much.
Things will improve when Jesus rules the world, which many verse predict. That is why he is coming. To see that everyone has what they need.
May that glorious day come soon!
