Former Mouseketeer, Bonita Fields, Succumbs To Cancer - Another Reminder That Life Is Flying By!

I'm old enough to remember sitting in front of our old black and white television watching episodes of "The Mickey Mouse Club". That is why something touched my heart when I read about the death of Bonita Fields. Bonita became a Mouseketeer when she was only 12 years old in 1957. She made the cast of the popular children's series largely because of her excellent dance and voice talent. She was known as "Bonnie" on the air.

Bonita was born in Walterboro, South Carolina. After her career in the Disney series came to an end she continued to perform live at Disneyland. She had small parts in 1960's movies such as Kissin Cousins starring Elvis Presley, Bye Bye Birdie starring Ann Margaret and Funny Girl starring Barbara Streisand. Bonita returned to take part in the Mickey Mouse Club 25th reunion  and frequently appeared on Broadway.

In a small way Bonita is a part of my past as memories of her performances are buried in the folds of my mind. Her death reminds me that my own life is streaking by with lightning speed. The Scriptures capture it best when they describe our life as a "vapor" that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.

I hope that Bonita Fields knew Jesus as her Savior. I hope that you are recognizing the brevity of your own life and that you, Dear Reader, have placed your faith in Christ.

Ahmed Jabari Killed By Israeli Strike

The leader of the military wing of Hamas, Ahmed Jabari, was killed by an Israeli military strike today. The strike was thought to be in retaliation for a barrage of Hamas missile launches into Israeli territories over the last several weeks.
The attack on Jabari was part of a larger assault on nearly 20 targets in the Gaza. The world is teetering on the edge of a military meltdown in the middle east. The best advice I can give is to prepare yourself spiritually. Have you trusted Jesus as Saviour? Consider His invitation seriously.

CIA Director Compromises Our Security With An Affair And Russian Submarine Prowls Our East Coast

General David Petraeus

Author Paula Broadwell

General David Petraeus resigned his position as director of the CIA because of his admitted marital infidelity. Petraeus admitted to having an affair with Paula Broadwell, author of his biography All In: The Education Of General David Petraeus. I hate to see any man fall into sin and have their lives ruined as a consequence. I particularly hate to see such an important man to the security of our country be in a position where our national security could have been at risk.

Just last week a another unsettling story surfaced concerning a the U.S. Navy's discovery of a Russian nuclear sub lurking 275 miles off the southern east coast of the United States. The tense standoff in the Syrian and Iranian standoffs has made our relations with Russia precarious and I'm not naive enough to believe that the unthinkable could happen to our beloved country.
We are living in the most bizarre time in all of history. Calamity seems to hang in the air and most everyone senses something evil this way comes. Indeed, something evil is coming. We are living in the days leading up to the period of time the Bible calls the Great Tribulation. Two thousand years ago Jesus spoke of this time as being the worst period of events in human history.

Matthew 24:20-22

King James Version (KJV)

²⁰ But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
²¹ For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
²² And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

The world economy in shambles and hopelessly in debt, the tension in the middle east, escalating earthquakes and natural disasters all point to the end of the age. Now, more than ever, men, women, boys and girls need to look to Jesus who is the great Redeemer, Defender and Fortress in these scary times. Please watch the short video in the right sidebar. Trust Christ as your Savior today.
