Buckle up...

With this ranger belt!

Stylish, rugged, and built to last.
I had a tiny bit of free time to make something to add to the store.

I've been waiting to make one of these for a while (other than a customers order), so, now I have one you can see in person at our store Lantana Handmade!

I did the same combo of the coloring on my satchel build, bovine in woodgrain, and Water Buffalo in chocolate.

I went all out with a fancy stainless buckle, complete with some rustic matching metal keepers.

And.....I topped it off with some white, bonded nylon, handstitching!

What?!
I don't have your size in stock?!
Well, don't worry, I know a Leather Guy....

As always, enjoy a little something...
From Me To You!

Ezekiel 17:23-24
23 In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell.
24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have done it.

I was reading this and saw, yet again, a prophecy of what Jesus would do for us.

When a tree is dry, there's no more sap in it, or, you could say, it's blood.

Did Jesus shed his blood?...

Isaiah 52:14-15
14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
15 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.

He used all his blood, to sprinkle many nations, so we can have eternal life.
And though it seemed like he was dry and dead to man, no coming back from his condition, the Lord made that dry branch to flourish!

Zechariah 6:12
And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:

And Jesus did accomplish that....

John 2:19
Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

And back in Ezekiel it says... " and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing ".
Indicating again, how he would call the Gentiles.

And here is more from Ezekiel...

Ezekiel 34:12
As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.

And it was dark when he was on the cross wasn't it?

Matthew 27:45
Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.

Mark 15:33
And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

We see in every book of the Bible, how they ALL prophecy of Jesus’s first coming!

And, they also prophecy of his second coming...

Isaiah 26:21
For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

Does this sound familiar?

Revelation 20:13
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

If you're not covering your slain, now you're showing it.
And we see the same event happening in Revelation at the end of the world. Which we're in!

And part of his first coming was to do what?

Luke 12:51
Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

He came to divide people!
Dividing his children, from the devils children!

And there's one more great division!

Matthew 13:30
Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

And how does God divide his people?

Ezekiel 9:4
And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.

And what is specific about God's people?
Something that makes them different, something that let's everyone know they're his...

Do they just go to church?
Do they have signs saying they're christians?
Do they say Jesus’s name sometimes in conversation when convenient?
What makes them so different?!

They sigh and cry!
For what?!
The abominations that are being committed in the land!

They cry out that what people are doing is wickedness!
They say that it's not ok!
They show what God really feels about those things that are done!

Will people like it?
What did Jesus say?

John 16:2
They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

First they say you can't be talking about what God really thinks in their places of worship/religion, or any place they believe belongs to them.
Then, they get so furious that some will kill you!

Should we be afraid?
Of what?
Someone sending you to heaven?
Certainly not.

But back to God marking his people...
Where else do we find God marking HIS people?

Revelation 7:3
Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

And we see here another thing, they're servants.
Servants work, they don't relax, and party with the world.

Revelation 9:4
And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

And you see here, if you're not marked as a servant of the Lord's, there's bad news coming!

Revelation 14:1
And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.

This number represents something...
Twelve tribes represents the old testament.
Twelve apostles represents the new testament.
And you go... 12x12= 144

And then what?
God's number of entirety is 1,000....

Psalm 50:10
For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.

So now we have 12x12=144
144x1,000= 144,000.

And that's what that represents, all of God's people, for all time.
If not, he wouldn't have said what he did in chapter 7....

Revelation 7:4
And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

Revelation 7:9
After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

No man could number them, but he said the number, right?
The whole book of Revelation is revealed by what?
Picture language, showing by signs..

Revelation 1:1
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

That word "signified" means to show by signs.

But back to more of God sealing his people...

Revelation 22:4
And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.

What is in our foreheads?
Our mind, which holds what?...
His WORD!

What is God's name?
The Lord Jesus Christ!
And he is what?...

John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

He is the Word!

There's so many reasons why we need the Word every day.
We're slowly building up an extra container of oil, so we won't be part of the foolish virgins who didn't have extra.
We read his word and see how bad this world looks, compared to what God said it should be.
We sigh and cry for the abominations committed around us every day!
And he marks us in our foreheads, a place that you can't hide, as we are like a city set on an hill.

The verses I started with are just a great example of how you'll always find something new in his word.
It's spiritually our fresh bread, every day!

And...
What could possibly go better with his bread?
How about some oil?

Remember how they would anoint with oil?
What's our anointing today?

1 John 2:27
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

Our anointing is the Holy Ghost!

What does it mean that we don't need men to teach us?
We don't know it all, and there are other verses that say it's good to learn from each other.
So what does this mean?

Matthew 28:19
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

It's the teaching, of the Gospel!
They already knew the Gospel, hence the letter sent to them.

But that is why we need the Word, and especially, the oil.

And where would they anoint?
On their heads!

And how does the Holy Ghost make our reading better?

John 14:26
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

As we read, God brings more of his word to our remembrance!

But wait!

There's a big question....

How can he bring it to our remembrance, if we never read it?!

And we can't remember, if we just gloss over the words, just to get it out of our way, to complete another, average, daily task.

That's where he helps us, by making his word more interesting to us, and giving us a great hunger for it.

You don't have that?
I know why...
Because the Bible tells me why....

James 4:2
Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

Simply put..
Ye have not, because ye ask not.

Remember what Jesus said?

Luke 11:9
And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

You MUST ask!
Ask him in prayer BEFORE you read!

You MUST seek!
Seek HIS WORD for answers!

Then, you MUST knock!
Put some effort into it!

A- ask
S- seek
K- knock

And remember, he never says no to more wisdom and understanding in him....

James 1:5
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

But we see here again, you have to ask.

Remember as well, studying his word IS commanded..

2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Approved unto whom?
Unto God.
You can't study anything other than the Bible, to get an approval from God.
You must have his word!

And, when it comes to it, how will you be able to answer someone who has questions about the Gospel, and what Jesus Christ did for us?...

You must...

1 Peter 3:15
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

And we are sanctified by?.....

John 17:17
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

And I will end this with another good section...that shows us how we can sanctify our daily food....and why we should pray, before we eat...

1 Timothy 4:1-5
1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

Chop chop!....

Time for a new sheath for this huge knife!

Hopefully he doesn't lose it, incase he puts it next to a wooden cutting board...lol!
But really, can you go wrong with this "Faux Bois" look?...

I know, it sounds fancy...it means "fake wood" in French!
Maybe this set will be used to cut croissants?!

Either way, the customer was thrilled and again...I think that white thread with the handstitching just pops!

All the hardware was in brass to match the handle pieces as well.

Another cool project, From Me To You!

Men's wallets???...

Yes indeed, I get asked a lot if I make them and...
I certainly do!
Bi-folds, tri-folds, minimalist, money clips, etc.

This customer wanted a dark brown exterior and the inside to age naturally.

I showed him a small color chart of a few brown dyes and he decided on this one.

This is my bi-fold design I made.
It has 3 main slots on each side, a fold out ID slot, and the 3 card slots have an additional area behind them for extra things as well.
And of course it has a nice spot for your cash.

He wanted his handstitched thread in dark brown to match and I topped it off with some shiny dark brown edges.

It was rainy when I finished, so, I had to make do with inside photos, but, don't let the quality limit your imagination!
You could have this in bright yellow!....or maybe just stick with browns....

He was VERY pleased!

I hope you enjoyed a little something..
From Me To You!

This is the first Crossroads of the season and the weather is looking promising!

Lord willing it's warm, but not too warm, and not rainy!!

See you guys there and as always...
Enjoy a little something From Me To You!

Ecclesiastes 2:24 There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul...
06/04/2026

Ecclesiastes 2:24
There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.

God gives us the gift of being able to enjoy the fruits of our labour while we are here in this present world.
If that was in God's plan here...what do we do in heaven?
Well, sometimes we forget that there's a new heaven...and, a new earth...

Revelation 21:1
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

This old place we're in now will be long gone!

Luke 21:33
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

And what will we be doing in the new earth?...

Isaiah 65:22
They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.

And where is this?..

Isaiah 65:17
For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

And it also goes on to say..

Isaiah 65:18-19
18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.
19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.

Sound familiar?...

Revelation 21:4
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

And back in Isaiah it goes on to say.....

Isaiah 65:21-25
21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them.
24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.

And that's not all!

Revelation 7:16
They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

Revelation 22:5
And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

If there's no more death...we'll never get tired.
No more sun, or heat, or sea...
No pain, no more hunger....and we won't be thirsty.

We could work forever!
No more unfinished projects!

And, if we get everything done the first time, we also can enjoy the fruit of our labour, quite often.

What if we get everything done?!
Will we get bored?!

Psalm 27:4
One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.

Remember, there's all of heaven too!
And you can inquire of the Lord!
Not necessarily to ask him a lot of questions, but to also hear from him!
He has infinite wisdom, he can tell you new things to do, and ways to do things you never thought of.

So, my point is, no, no one will EVER be bored in heaven.

You could sing for a while in heaven with every one else, you could see the city of the Lord, walk around in heaven, and then go back to your garden full of fruits...and no weeds!

Plus, you have a fruit tree that gives a different fruit every month!....

Revelation 22:2
In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

There's an infinite amount of colors you can get from plants here...so why wouldn't it be like that in heaven, and yet even greater?

You don't want to plant?
Well, you like to use wood from trees?
Imagine you, being able to get different colors of lumber from the trees!
We already have pretty much every color from trees naturally...brown, red, yellow, purple, pink, green, black, orange, and I think more as well....I just don't know about blue...at least on this earth.

What about sharing?!
If no one is hungry, why would you keep everything for yourself?
There's no need for food storage!
Talk about perfect harmony!

Should we give that up for anything here?
Tax free, pain free, no more doctor visits, no more sweating, no more tiredness, no more grocery store visits, no more chemicals, no more of man's destructive devices!

My point is, we cannot fully comprehend what it will be like there, and God knows how to give us enjoyable things to do...forever.

So, as long as we're here, let's remember what the Lord Jesus said in the parable...

Luke 19:13
And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

And we occupy, not taking root to be part of this world, just occupy, so that way...

Revelation 3:11
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

And I'll leave it with these last verses that are always good to remember...especially on those really tiring, hot, painful, and sweaty days...

Galatians 6:9
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Isaiah 40:31
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Psalm 126:5
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

Got you covered....

This Bible cover was made from a lovely, light pebble grain, brown leather.

Custom sized to the client's needs and I think they'll love how the white stitching came out...

You just can't beat the look of a hand done saddle stitch.
Classic and durable, just like they used to make things.
I also burnished the edges for a smoother finish.

This one was additionally laser engraved on the front and included a pen slot for those must needed notes or highlights.

And just think....this could have been in any one of my 50+ leather color options, or any one of my 10+ thread options....hmmmm

Another custom project, From Me To You!

Ecclesiastes 12:1-81 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw...
05/31/2026

Ecclesiastes 12:1-8
1 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;
2 While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:
3 In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened,
4 And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low;
5 Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:
6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.
7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
8 Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.

I can't help but think how this sounds like the end of the world...or our world today.

Jesus spoke of the sun, moon, and stars being darkened.

It talks about how the doors are shut in the streets, why?
Because the people that work the laborious jobs are few.
Then it makes it unsafe in the streets!
Because people want an easy payment, and they find that through theft and other crimes!
Do we see that today?

Rising up at the sound of a bird?
People nervous everywhere! About everything!
Some people don't leave home without a gun!

Why?
We are in the end times!

"when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way"..

Are there any rumors of aliens, or any wars?
The press saying how some government places are preparing for aliens......
They're not real...but they want you in fear! For control!

"and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:"...

Remember the almond tree?
It was God's sign to Aaron that he chose him and Moses to be over the people.
And...to stop the murmurings against God's chosen!

Numbers 17:8
And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds.

And God's people will flourish in the last days, not by large numbers, but by their strong, unwavering faith, that only God gives, to those who ask him for it!

And what about the grasshoppers?
God sent them in biblical times as a plague.
Are there any plagues in these last days?
Plagues that are specifically sent to our food supply?!

And why does desire fail?
People are dying left and right!
And the mourners, go about the streets...their spreading the news, of all these unfortunate deaths..and everyone is hearing about death, all the time.

"Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken,"...

What does a cord do?
What does a bowl do?
They both hold things.....

Gold and silver have always been used as money....but now they don't hold up!

This reminds me of something....

Daniel 2:31-35
31 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible.
32 This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,
33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.
34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

And you had Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome....

And what was the last kingdom doing?

Daniel 2:42
And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.

Boy, Does that sound like everything today!
But let's go on...

Daniel 2:43
And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

Hmmmm they're not trying to make people half robots these days...or are they?!!!

And what else?
Well, there's prophecies...and similitudes of prophecies.

In the 30's, there abouts...the gold was put in the banks, it never came back out.
In 1964, all the silver was taken out of normal currency....

Are you seeing anything here yet?....

Now in 2026, all the pennies are no longer being made!!!
Why is that a big deal?

What was the third part of that statue that was destroyed?

"This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,"

Do you know what brass just happens to be made of?......

Copper and Zinc!
What was in our pennies?!
Copper and Zinc!

As for the next portion of the statue..
It was solid iron..
Iron was used for 3 things mostly in those days.
Weapons, tools, or fake gods/religious things.

Daniel 5:4
They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.

What 3 things do they use to unite all the nations?
War, or the end of it.
Industry.
And a common, man made religion.

So, what is to go away next?
Perhaps all 3 of those options...
Since you dont have war, industry, or man made religion, without money.... and if that goes, they all will fall.

But what brings it all down to start?
The clay and the iron.

And what are they doing now?
Trying to mix them together...robo-men perhaps?

But God thankfully puts a stop to it all...

34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.

And Jesus Christ is that stone!

Acts 4:11
This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

He's going to come back and put a stop to it all!

Now, let's get back to the rest of that portion in Ecclesiastes shall we?

"or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern."

Why is this? What does it mean?

You can't get water from a fountain anymore....hmm that reminds me..

Revelation 8:10-11
10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

No more fresh water from the fountains!
And what else?...

"or the wheel broken at the cistern."

You can't get well water either....

You know how much water those new AI plants use?....I don't exactly, but I hear it's A LOT!
Poultry houses have been known to dry up and ruin nearby wells.
Oil drilling, gas drilling, and other things have been known to ruin wells for miles away.

And all this is the sign of what?!

"while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;"

This is when the days are evil!
Are we there yet? Look around!

And what happens next?...

7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

Remember how God comes back?..

2 Thessalonians 1:8
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

That's the fastest way to get people back to dust...
And not just those who don't know...
But on those who don't obey!

And he ends this segment of scripture with this...

"Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity."

And everything of this world, really is, all vanity.

And if we're not a part of this world statue, we won't be blown away with the wind...

Matthew 7:27
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

Ephesians 4:14
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

What's going to happen next?
How exactly will this world end?
When is God going to return?

Well, he told us exactly when....

Luke 12:40
Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

Right when you don't expect it!

We know it's gonna be, when we don't know it's gonna be!
Did I get your attention with that?

Only the Lord Jesus Christ knows the future, so we tarry, till he comes again....which may be sooner than we expect.

And I think I'll end it with how Solomon left that last chapter of Ecclesiastes... the duty God gave us...

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
