Crazy times in a Crazy world

I try not to be so serious when blogging. I get the concept that not everybody wants to read about world events - especially when it can all seem so negative. However. I got a new link today that shook me and I think everyone needs to be praying about our nation's safety & leaders' ability to lead through this.

I've included only the first portion of this article. To see the full article - go here.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - North Korea may fire a long-range ballistic missile toward Hawaii in early July, a Japanese news report said Thursday, as Russia and China urged the regime to return to international disarmament talks on its rogue nuclear program.

The missile, believed to be a Taepodong-2 with a range of up to 4,000 miles (6,500 kilometers), would be launched from North Korea's Dongchang-ni site on the northwestern coast, said the Yomiuri daily, Japan's top-selling newspaper. It cited an analysis by the Japanese Defense Ministry and intelligence gathered by U.S. reconnaissance satellites.

The missile launch could come between July 4 and 8, the paper said.

While the newspaper speculated the Taepodong-2 could fly over Japan and toward Hawaii, it said the missile would not be able to hit Hawaii's main islands, which are about 4,500 miles (7,200 kilometers) from the Korean peninsula.

Ok people. Enjoy your families. Make the most of every moment. Accept Jesus as Lord and Savior. And pray - pray hard for this generation. There are some events that take place in the world that make us come out of our little hedged-in comfort zones (where more often than not there are plenty of trials to deal with as it is). This should be one of them for the U.S. and it's leaders.
