Signs of the Apocalypse

I went to Walmart today, (I know some of you are muttering infidel) and tried to buy a tea kettle for the house I am living in. (Walmart was within walking distance and I only have a vehicle some of the time, presently.) Seeing none I asked and was politely informed by the house wares clerk  that the Walmart Super center had none and that for reasons she did not fully understand she could not order them. I told her this was beyond amazing that Walmarts did not sell tea kettles here and that this truly must be a sign of the apocalypse. She did not smile. I told her that was humor (perhaps feeble) and she said she had not fully woken up yet. But truly it is. Can you imagine the god of consumerism not selling tea kettles? Totally flabbergasting.   the previous night I had gone and saw the movie, Legion. It seemed a good selection for Las Vegas, a low budget horror movie about the end, the end times.  The plot is  simple. God has given up on humanity and decided to destroy us by send a Legion of angels to  kill us. Michael however loves humanity and rebels. Gabriel on the other hand is following orders and is ready to slaughter humanity. The battle takes place in a dinner in the middle of nowhere in Arizona.  This really is a low budget horror flick but with some campy humor, and some surpising good acting. Michael and Gabriel are pretty impressive and the cast of characters are quite engaging and very human, working class folks mostly, struggling with  poor choices in life and a lack of resources and hope.  Long story short, I really liked this movie. So between these two metaphysical events, Walmart's and the movie, right across the street from one another in a casino,  I am convinced the end times are any time now.   In a day or two we will continue preparations for the sacred peace walk. I  puzzle greatly because along with the end times, I know Jesus appeared here recently, asking you all to pick up the cross and become the second coming you are intended to be and end the scourage of nuclear weapons and for that matter nuclear power/waste. Truly there are safer and cleaner ways to boil water.   The counter on this computer shows 16 minutes left and I need to do some quick reasearch so I will end here for the moment. Hope this all makes sense and reads okay. No time to edit.  Perhaps if I were winning I might have written an entirely different column.
