SEEK GOD NOW ! PURSUE HIM ! MAKE THE CUT !

Ambassador4Christ    There are a lot of headlines in the news that are catching to the eye, and itching at ears, in  world news today, and everyday ! Well, I learned personally, in my own life,  it is is how you respond to life's headlines, that can make an impact, or an outcome, in ones future positively or negatively .   For an example here, In Pearl, Mississippi  around the events leading up to what was Katrina's destruction, tropical depression, and aftermath . There were probably many headlines, warning about evacuations and stock up on water,food, medicine, get back up generators, and candles. Yea, it was august 29th ,2005 and it was business as usual for me . My head in the sand if you will, Until there were lines at the gas pumps, no water to be found , and the sky was sunny, and blue , and pay day at that . I worked for the City of Pearl,Mississippi at the time, I remember that call coming over the c b radio in the truck ,saying all cops and city utility workers must report to the call of duty, report at the ______ gas station, for fill up and wait for further notification . In closing anyone who aborted there call of duty, was a crime punishable by law, and the state of Mississippi was declared " A State of Emergency". Seaming that the emergency gas requested by the C.O. of public works, was held up due to weather (also refer d to as an (act of god ), would not make it .  So they take over a local gas station for gas for government officials until it ran out . There was a gas line piled up north,south,east,west threw out the whole city, some stretched out past coastal regions . It was hard to maneuver threw all of the evacuees, even after the cry for everyone to get off the street, the prepared ones ,and the evacuees ransacked the shelves of this small local town, outside of Mississippi's Capitol Jackson . I remember ,after all modern commodities, and all rations were gone . All my money was locked up in a bank that no one had access to because all power was down even in most of our small hospitals , I remember looking at the fridge with all the food gone bad , and after all trees and power lines were  moved aside out of roadways , they were falling down on all sides of us, street signs being thrown around ,houses demolished, flooded homes and streets, sewage backing up everywhere , doing the best we could day and night until , the gas was running out, we get the call park trucks and double up, how many we could get in it , then the call for everyone to come in from the roads for a meeting . Public c.o. looked us all in the eyes , pointed to three of the highest paid officials said they could stay, told the other 200 employees to go clock out and go home , and wait for a call to report for duty . If you had vacation time you would be paid, if not  you were just sol  . In almost a riotous fashion we all left . Some vowing never to return !  and many were mad they did not have vacation time, and others mad they  had  to use it ! while others tried to share hours with others ,that was not allowed .  Friends and I, were miserable because out in the storm on the road crew and in the rain , while cutting trees all day and night, poison ivy, sumac, ants, and all of the mosquito bites . Many of us had poison ivy from head to toe ,and friend I must tell you I am highly allergic to poison ivy , my krypton night . So after I am laid off, I find myself in a hospital laid off, hungry,mad, irritable, in a hospital with no lights,air,money, or phones to call anyone seaming that they were down, and no charge in cell phone. There where many screaming, crying ,and worried people in the hospital . You could hear people screaming, because after waiting some 2 nights or more camping out in gas lines, were furious when they told them that they ran out of gas at the pumps.  They , began to limit how many gallons of gas each got , most received only enough  to make it down the road to the next station to encounter the same thing, and some to find once open gas stations shut down temporarily due to out breaks from gas shortages . . . . . . . . . .  ( to be continued in part 2)
