Habemus Papam!

     We have a Pope! A new Pope has been elected. His name is Jorge Mario Bergoglio (Francis) and he is from Argentina. He is the Papacy's 266th Pope. I must admit that this is a suprise to me. Is he Peter the Roman? Well his name isn't Peter, nor is he from Rome (or Europe at all). Only time will tell if he will fulfill St. Malachy's prophecy. These should be interesting times!

Per Clyde Lewis from the radioshow (http://prepareyourgroundzero.com/), Pontiff Pergoglio is a Jesuit. Jesuits are known as "Black Popes". Thank you for pointing that out Clyde! Now if I could just get you tovisit my blog ;P

A Grey Day Weather Meditation

     The weather outside is cool and hints of rainy weather. I think back on days in my youth, when the smell of ozone and the sound of thunder would excite me. Residents of Oklahoma are very familiar with thunder storms and tornadoes and the adrenaline rush that some of us 'storm wraiths' get from it. I know that the feeling seems to recharge my battery and immediatley uplift my mood. Yes, I have to admit that I look forward to tornado season, and the coming seasons will be no different. With the climate change and the super storms we have seen in recent years, I cant help but wonder in amazement, at just what mother nature has in store for my area in the coming months. Just last year we had a tornado touch down in Norman. The klaxons didn't even sound until it had been on the ground for three minutes! It seemed to come out of nowhere, which is typical for tornadoes. How exciting that was for me. The sense of danger! The carelessness of standing outside while it rained and hailed hoping to get a glimpse at the awesome power of nature. Dont follow my example though, it wouldn't be safe.

     We are in March now and you can tell that warmer weather will be arriving soon. Couldn't come soon enough in my opinion. I have grown weary of this cold weather. How many snow storms have we had this winter alone? How many false alarms too? As we approach spring, I wonder what super-storms we will get here (and else where). One cant help but ask themselves if the United States hasnt been some kind of target for an angry earth mother. I think these storms will just get stronger and more common place. But, like always-I will make every moment a good one, and will look forward to seeing the greatest show on earth, courtesy of God. Oh yes...these are exciting times to be alive!

Keeping Updated On My Fast

     I must be honest. I havent been doing so well on my fast. You see I have broken it a few times with smoking and eating. Sometimes it is necessary (low blood sugar, or days I donate plasma). But, that is OK. I am still praying and meditating, and will be doing some special spiritual stuff tonight. I have learned a lot from this fasting period and gained a lot of insight. In fact, I have gained more from this then I originally anticipated. This is my first fast and I look forward to more in the future. Today I was able to visit the Islamic Center of Norman and participate in prayers and listened to an enlightening sermon about the Day of Judgement.

     Have you had any fasting experiences? If so, please share them in the comments section!

Tensions at Critical Level on the Korean Peninsula

Cease Fire Between United States, North Kore and South Korea About to Expire. Threat of War Grows

     As you likely may have already heard in the news, the Democractic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea to us westerners) is threatening to end the cease fire armistice that has been in place since the end of the Korean War (which has not technically ended). If the armistice is dropped, war may be the next step. The North has already threatened the United States with nuclear war. The DPRK has the technological ability to strike U.S. and south Korean targets as well as the U.S. mainland. These threats come after the release of two videos showing attacks on the U.S. and President Obama on fire as well as American soldiers on fire:
