I wish to apologize for my recent actions, making light of the events which have transpired. The fact is that it is greatly discouraging sometimes to deal with the reactions of those whom I care deeply for and it becomes hard to draw the line between the ministerial aspects of my relationships, my duties in those aspects, and my own personal feelings and hopes in the same. This often affects, or at least has the tendency to effect my judgements on some levels. I know and believe however from experience that God's will is the most important and should remain the most prevalent factor in all decisions. Often I am told a thing to do or say and not given the understanding to accompany such until later, sometimes much later. This has at times made it difficult for me to perform my ministry as I am only human, and as such defy God at times, elevating my own understanding above that which I know I am to do.
It is not my place to determine Gods will for my life or my visions, it is his. It is his place to determine those things. Mine is to do his will. I pray that I will do a better job than in times past.
On June 19, I sent an email, I called for 3 things in the email, Flies, which I had been told to speak for a couple months prior, Locust, ditto, and the third which I had been recently told to speak, Murrain.
On June 25, I sent an email detailing reports of Locust outbreaks and Fly outbreaks around the world, I cited mad cow in a section of that email, stating that it seemed to be going away, bans on beef from certain countries were being lifted and it had been at least a couple of years since any reports of the disease. With of course the exception to Canada who had confirmation of the diesease earlier this year in a herd in Alberta, things seemed to be looking up on that front. Well, that has changed.
Today after six years Britian released a troubling announcement, the return of hoof and mouth diesease upon cattle. As well mad cow continues to strike an economic blow to the USA, and Canada. A link to the articles are at the end of the email.

Murrain
(Pronounced "mur'in") is a highly infectious disease of cattle and sheep. It literally means "disease" and was used in medieval times to represent just that. The population of that era had no way of identifying specific diseases in their livestock so they simply put all illnesses under one heading [citation needed]. There were major sheep and cattle murrains in Europe during the 14th century, which combined with the Little Ice Age resulted in widespread famine during the Great Famine of 1315-1317, weakening the population of Europe before the onset of the Black Death in 1348.
Murrain is also mentioned once in the Bible relating to the fifth plague brought upon Egypt.
Exodus9:3: "Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain."
In some parts of Scotland, force-fire was believed to cure it.
