What if that super volcano blows under the islands of Alaska? Or any other of the many on earth? Think about it; these are scientific facts and what these volcanoes do to the Earth are proven facts too.
What if the prophecy of "Three Days of Darkness" is fulfilled as ash covers our earth? What if there is no ability to communicate as WiFi systems go down and only silence covers the earth too? What if we are facing a '"winter of darkness?"
What if, at this point, all people come to face the truth: my end is coming, I am helpless to control my life, and then as if they are in a 'fox hole' they seek God for the first time in their lives? Let us pray they do.
There is a great little book call "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff," by Richard Carlson PH.D. One of the chapters speaks about looking at this day as your last day. You should, we all should for this very well could be.
What if this day is your last day? Are you ready to face an eternity of only darkness, no love, no light and no warmth? A Hell of never-ending fire, of desire to see, feel, and be ALIVE once more.
Choose to be ALIVE today. Live in love. Be kind, patient, understanding. Be forgiving and, most of all, do not judge your fellow human being. See only good or God in each person you encounter or live with. For as you sew, you will reap, and you want to receive love poured out back upon you multiplied and running over. You do not want hate and criticism come back upon you, multiplied and and staring you down till you are dead inside.
What if? What if you ask yourself all these questions and honestly face the truth of what do you want in your NOW LIFE and your forever life? Oh yes, there is forever, and how you believe now is how you will be fulfilled in your forever life.
Let us stop floating around, laying buried in the dark ground until that final day of all days; the day of the Lord and who can withstand it. Only those, who choose to live in the light, HIS WAY OF LOVE---now.
What if this is the last day for you? The last day for you to choose salvation instead of eternal damnation? A forever life of no love, no light, no warmth, and not ever being able to see another's face and only hearing their cries of anguish surrounding you.
What if?

Born the youngest of nine children, raised VERY Catholic across the street from Immaculate Heart of Mary church and school—Mom and Dad led by example and word their FAITH in God and saw to it that I was given 12 years of Catholic Education. (Mount St. Mary’s Academy/1965)
But, most importantly, because of my parents’ spiritual renewal after attending Cursillo Weekends, I too went on a retreat at our beloved Subiaco Abbey in Arkansas and there, at age 20, gave my life totally, surrendering all to my Lord and best Friend. This was my “Pentecostal” event that left me, like all the early Christians, on fire with God’s love and forever changed.
My husband Robert and I have been married for 54 this year in a marriage arranged by God. We have 8 children, two in heaven, 24 grandchildren, and 28 great-grandchildren. The story of our life together can be found in a book titled “My Journey, My Cross-As the Journals End,” published by Westbow Press . Our life together has been one awesome up and down roller coaster ride which enriched my heart with so many of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I have found that the only way, Wisdom, Understanding, Words of Knowledge, Discernment, and Healing can be received is first by experiencing in your life the hurts of others. (and you yourself a sword will pierce)* so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” Luke 2 v 35.
God has blessed me also many other talents and skills--but sometimes, blessings/gifts can and have caused problems or conflict in my life, as I am human and all too quickly that part of me shows up. Thank You God that You also show up!
Because of the many ways that He has rescued me, and taught me through my trials and tribulations and continuous cries for “Help”--- a weekly podcast radio show called “It’s Me, God” can still be found on www.radiotitans.com
