High Tension and Low Energy
I've been going through a lenten friday type of fast today, but I've had big turmoil during the day in just going about my Saturday errands. Traffic was very bad, the cash registers wouldn't take valid coupons, the groceries seemed outlandishly expensive this week (is that because of the nearly $4 a gallon gasoline?) And since I'm not a contented faster, I find myself with a lower disturbance threshold for startling circumstances. Ear Tones make it sound like cicadas on speed in the background. However, I am focusing on peace, so I think that the world we have, with all our gadgets and go-go technology is fighting back. Oddly enough, my husband decided to watch the movie "The Final Countdown" on netflix, not realizing that it's a fast day, and from there, if the day didn't get me with the static of technology busting my peace, the movie certainly did.
Plot: Aircraft carrier Nimitz (yea, like the one off the coast of Syria right now) travels back in time to the day before Pearl Harbor, then the captain (Kirk Douglas) realizes he has gone thru a time portal and the Japanese Zeros are about to attack Pearl Harbor. When they got to the scene where the sailors are bringing missile Ordanance to the fighter planes of the Nimitz, it was just too much to take and I had to get up and go to the next room. Imagine getting the full on image of a war preparation in what is supposed to be a peace vigil on the very carrier that's sitting offshore of Syria.
I have never received so many signals in one day of prayer that coincidence is lining up. Final Countdown to what ? How did he pick such a movie just now? Coincidence?
Hope you all are having a better day than I !
