OK, so our moms told us not to talk about politics or religion. We ignore that and really, all we do talk about is politics and religion. But the weather is always a safe topic, right? Unless it just makes us cranky, which this winter certainly does. Seriously, let’s talk about the weather. Mom would be proud. At least it’s never boring.
We are all noticing some major earth changes, upheavals even, in the weather patterns. In fact, when you do the research, it’s a bit shocking, just how much this old world is rocking and reeling. I did some of that research this week, and found that beginning around 2010 bets were off regarding which records would fall next. And here in 2014, they keep on falling – like dominoes. Keeping track of it all is a bit daunting, I will admit, but we sure do get a good picture of what we all are seeing to be true.
People tend to ask me if judgment is coming/already here, but my best answer, for now, is that the birth pangs are on the increase. Hope this chart helps regarding the current happenings on planet earth. I will be adding more info as time goes by.
