Rain Clouds or Dirty Hands
Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant. If they watch every cloud, they never harvest. (Ecclesiastes 11:4 NLT) I have watched people for a number of years now.

How much time do you think we have?
How much time do you think we have? “For what?”, you may ask. Well, several things, actually. How much time do you think we have until Russia and her confederates decide to take care of the little old nation called Israel? Russia? Yep. Even now the Great Russian Bear is testing the world by flexing…
