So that's my Makes Me Happy Monday thought! (Umm, is it Monday? No, I think it might be Tuesday!)Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276284964859313257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495553397518653924.post-30110591384884743422010-12-28T09:36:50.935+13:002010-12-28T09:36:50.935+13:00Lisa: Yes the Book of Revelation certainly has di...Lisa: Yes the Book of Revelation certainly has dire warnings of weather and war - the Apocalypse. I suspect that through the ages the same comment has been made many times. After all 88million people killed in the two World Wars of the last century eclipses anything we are doing at the moment or managed before. <br /><br />My reading of Revelation goes back many many years but I seem to recall that no one could agree on its interpretation. I don't suppose things have changed. Whatever, it certainly describes the mess we humans seem to making of just about everything. The question has to be 'when is the second age?' Have we reached it? When will the wicked be banished? And which of us is the wicked? We all believe our own cause is the true one. Oh gosh. Where did all that come from?<br /><br />Monica: Yep where you are but here and in Oz for example it's hotter than usual. Extremes - that's the theme this year.<br /><br />Nana Go-Go: I think everyone has some sore of link, however, tenuous, to the Islands.

We all better get used to it! Love the pics of Stornoway - my eldest`s ex-girlfriend originates from there and although I haven`t visited myself (the ferry journey alone fills me with dread!), found the photos very interesting. Thank you for that.Between Me and Youhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04863155145862706966noreply@blogger.com
