To Dye before you Die?

It’s between you and God, I suppose, if you feel free to dye or bleach your hair or mustache. But you should know that to many you’re only fooling yourself – we can tell paces away that your hair color is artificial. Years ago I was waiting in Moscow for the evening train to another Russian city. It was a lovely January afternoon (yes, such occur in that northern clime) and as I was outside the train station I saw a female perhaps a block away with red-to-orange hair “glaring” in the bright sunlight. Humorous, but not authentic. There’s probably a better use for your hard-earned-cash than bottled coloring. Think about it.

Gave his day his best

 

A laborer does his daily deed

To plant, to water, perhaps to weed.

He works right up till dark

Then leave’s the field to take his rest

Knowing he gave his day his best.

His hoe had faithfully found its mark.

And as his body’s enveloped in sod

Gladly leaves the results with God

Happy to have worked, “happy as a lark.”

We can’t keep pilots from flying

Years ago I saw chemtrails;

a streaks of l-o-n-g narrow clouds across the sky, many times with parallel “clouds.” When I mentioned these to a pilot he thought I was seeing jet streams i.e. regular exhaust from high jets. Now and then you’ll see to what he was referring – they dissipate while a speck (the plane) ahead is in view and leave a nature blue sky behind. Chemtrails stay long after the plane disappears leaving an unnatural “cloud” polluting the view and who knows what else. “You can’t the birds from flying over head but you can keep’em from building a nest in your hair” (said of temptation). We can’t keep chemtrail pilots from flying overhead but we can pray God to undo whatever they are trying to do.

Pray with me to that end.
