Pandora's Equation The box was beautiful. It held everything ugly in one place. It was meant to be a prison, to create safety on the outside, from everything on the inside. Man can not leave well enough alone. Woman... failed in paradise. We were all thrown out, for sin. The days come and go, and our lives are shortened in the grand landscape of forever. Adam lived over 900 years. Noah lived nearly... or more so the same. Now we believe we are long in this world at only 100. Time is stretching and bending, like the solar flares... hitting the earth, off and on for days at a time. The heat rises, the water... evaporates, and our cry continues. Myths are real, based in historic shadows, hidden just under the surface of the truth. Atlantis slid off its access and fell into the sea. Let that be. Now for you and me... we wonder... at the towers of Babylon, the mighty giants of the past, until the last of all of us, has gone over the edge, or vanished from their plan.

"Now we believe we are long in this world at only 100. " - makes me wonder, if we believed we could live to 300 if we would.

Faith over fear... always. I know what is coming. The King. The King is coming... heaven is near. Tell someone, before it is too late. Everything that is passing is written. The truth is being revealed all around. Ask Him... lovely friend. Prayers for your day. God bless you ... in every way... and keep you safe and near. Ty for your kindness. Ann
