This year late frost and heavy rain delayed or wiped out plantings in Canada and the US. It looks as if we are in for 100 years of cooler temperatures which means less food produced.

"World cooling has set in and it will stay colder for at least 100 years predicts scientist in forecast breakthrough

With 17 to 18 Celsius degrees this week (I cannot remember a hotter autumn) our crops are also suffering from water scarcity. Argentines living in the Patagonian Andes have been praying for snow, because there would not be tourists this year... the first snow was last week in ski centers. Cooling predictions??? They have been talking about that during several years, maybe they should get another job...

I cut off part of my small lawn to grown early vegetables and we already have lot's of organic green tomatoes, sqaush, cucumbers, eggplants. With leftovers, we will can. I don't believe this will happen worldwide, this soon, but eventually will happen as we continue feeding and fueling global warning.

Robert,

Thank you for posting this link in The Sentinel's Watch!

As you know, this is one of the subjects that we have been tracking and posting links to help educate people on this serious subject. The thread 'Current and Future Threats' has many links and information that will affect all of us as does the thread 'Commercial Fisheries Collapse!' Another interesting thread is 'Welcome to the Dark Side... We have news' where I just posted a link to how "One Billion People" are going hungry... which validates your post!

Sadly Noted/thank you again Robert

Although I have always been a city girl, I now live in the country. We have erected raised bed gardens and planted corn, tomatoes, beans, cucumbers, squash, etc. (and will also be growing our own potatoes).

I'm looking forward to learning to can and becoming less reliant on "questionable" food.

Glad to see many others thinking likewise.

Please everyone note. WorldNet Daily is an extremely conservative website. They have an agenda. They are also responsible for publishing the names and addresses of the two remaining Physicians who perform late-term abortions. There are only two of these physicians left, because, as you may know, Dr. Tiller was murdered by a radical anti-abortionist. Research this topic ON YOUR OWN! Do not rely on this single right wing network to frighten you and form your opinions and manipulate your ideas. Do your homework. Do your OWN homework! I did. I am in the midst of researching this "warning" as we speak. I have found no evidence to support this. This is a scare tactic. Tomorrow, when I meet with colleagues in the Philosophy Dept. at the University of Michigan, I WILL find the veracity, or lack there-of, in this issue. Don't believe everything you read on Care 2.

Julie,

Thanks for the warning and you are correct about WorldNet Daily!

WorldNet Daily may/will use legitimate stories to sucker people into their hidden agenda's by posting legitimate news stories... they do this to raise their credibility!

In the case of this report... we can trace the story back to Commodity Online and go back further to Business News Wire's Marc Davis who is the BNW Managing Editor, (BNW = Business News Wire.) So this is not a WorldNet story... they just copied and linked it!

The original story can be found at: http://www.commodityonline.com/news/Global-starvation-imminent-as-US-faces-crop-failure-18791-3-1.html

We have to all become more pro-active on taking care of ourselves (when it comes to food), and sharing our abundance with others around us. If you can't grown your own veggies and fruit, find a local FARMERS MARKET in your area. Here in AZ, it's warm enough to grow 2 full crops a year, but do people do it? (Ya gotta be kiddin'!!)

All in truth Robert, for yes this is the time for teaching about growing your own , the wise woman knows what the family need.If a woman does not know then she must learn now.
Learn to bottle your own fruit, make your own jam, Store your dried crops and herbs, put every seed back into the ground let it grow and only take that which you can eat in a day for feeding your family.
Remember this, the best way to give you any energy is by drinking the hemp oil.
A cap full twice a day will give you so much energy, For it contains so much energy that you will not need much else to eat.
Only a little drop of vegtable soup with a little meat flavor will be enough when you feel hungry.
There is more energy from the seeds of growing power lern to make Zarathustras Bread.
Blessings dear Angels and thank you Robert. So glad we are hear to-gether.Thank you Father. Janet.

This is a subject that gets all sorts of emotions and visions of starving people conjured up. Well I'm here to tell you those visions don't need conjuring up they exist all over the world and not just in places like Africa but right in out own backyards of the US and UK. Poverty and starvation of the malnitrition variety run side by side with overproduction of crops supported by the agrochemical giants, uneconomic pricing structures imposed on small farmers by supermarkets whereby they receive pence for products the supermarkets sell for pounds (hundred pence to the pound!) Aggressive selling of food by supermarkets and burger chains etc, causing western obesity and that particular malnutrition syndrome. All of course supported by our secretive governments. UK government is currently thinking (well I suppose one of them must have a brain) about removing the sell by/ best before /display till dates from retail food packaging with the object of cutting down on the billions of pounds worth of edible food wasted by being thrown away in land fill site every year becuase people are frightened to use perfectly edible food after these dates have expired. The production of excess food that is then wasted and has to be buried or burnt is a futher cause of the onset of global warming and if this date removal happens it will be good for all and we will have to return to how we used to use food in the bad old days, sparingly and carefully with of course proper cooking! The other downside of enforced wastage is that the giant food retailers are no longer able to donate past it's sell by date to homeless charities for example becuase of the risk of prosecution under the food safety rules. So if you go around the back of any of these lerge supermarkets and food retailers you will find packets of biscuits, chocolate bars, sausages, cream cakes fruit and veg etc in their skips awaiting disposal! A shocking waste when there are those who could use this not only at home but elsewhere in the world and I bet there are many empty runs in one direction being made by trucks and planes throughout the world where with a bit of cooperation these items could be matched up with no additional fuel used to transport them around the world! So before we panic about crop failures we should stop wasting every thing on a grand scale and that's before we even get to our strange western ways of simply over consuming everything! Not to mention over producing everything from consumer durables to dogs and cats and that's not the animals fault it's the stupid owners and irresponsible breeders! That old addage "Waste Not Want Not" seems to have a particular irony here!

Robert,

Your Welcome!

As you already know, I have been following this type of issue for a long time. When you posted the story, I already knew that it had truth to it and could easily provide verification for it... if not from the original author (which I did) then from other sources (which I did!)

You are correct that we don't need 'News Sources' to see what is going on, all we have to do is step outside into our back yards and open our eyes!

It is my belief that our world and the Human Race (along with many other species) is under threat/attack. The story that you posted is just one part of this threat/attack. People don't take into consideration the other forms of threat/attack that are occurring which include Peak Oil, Ocean Fisheries Collapse, Rising Sea Levels, 6.78 Billion Plus People, Numerous Ongoing Epidemics, Numerous Ongoing Pandemics -- Some that are very serious, Climate Change, Water Shortages, Food Shortages and the list goes on and on!

Our own Scientist say that by mid-century our population will peak at around 10 Billion people... these same Scientist say that by the end of this century our population will be at One Billion People -- Nature has its ways of 'Culling' an out-of-control species and for Nine Billion People... it will not be an easy death!

This will have nothing to do with 'Armageddon' or 'The End-of-World Prophecies' and we won't be able to blame Demons and Gods... We only have ourselves to blame!

Again, thank you for taking the time to post this story!

Take Care,

Chaz,

Many people believe that what we are seeing is prophecy being fulfilled as has been written in Revelation and Koran and I respect an individuals right to believe what they wish... so long as it is not forced on other or is used to hurt others!

My belief is that this has nothing to do with 'Armageddon' or 'The End-of-World Prophecies' and we won't be able to blame Demons and Gods... that we only have ourselves to blame!

I do not believe that a 'New Jerusalem' will come floating out of the sky or that a 'Savior' will come from the heavens bringing peace and justice to all. If a person so chooses to believe in that sort of stuff, then what would be their motivation to do anything about climate change?

If a God is going to save us then why should true believers do anything different?

Perhaps this is why so called 'True Believers' only talk about taking action and never ever really do anything about it... because their God(s) will save them!

Take care,

Global Warming is for real. In my State and my city everyone is talking about how bad it's going to be on people who don't pplan far ahead in the collection of stored food. In my small town of 1300 the word is that most farmers and cattlemen are already buying all the grains and hay they can while it's available. Foods that we as people eat everday are close to the point where the prices of all meat and any food item while increase quickly. Everything you have and own will be worth a lot more than you paided for it but don't sell it because of all the things that will lose it's worth will be Money. I truely hope that it won't happen like this but if you have a very old Uncle like I have (90 year old)he can tell you what it's like to do without and protect everything that's your's or lose it all to peole who will do anything to get what's your's!

If the crops fail---they fail totaslly and FOREVER. Even if there bees and butterflies still around [lol]

[and forever is longer than waiting at the supermarket check-out, with the cashier on her first day, with all the baskets ahead of you FULL, and none of the prices are coded correctly--or maybe it's the machine itself! Gadzooks!]

Funny about Argentina being hot....when Brazil has experienced such heavy frost that they will be making ice wine for the first time ever.

First Ever Ice Wine in Brazil
16 06 2009

Via Joe D’Aleo at ICECAP

Team Vinicola Perico, Vinicola Vineyards in Santa Catarina, Brazil

Our friends at the METSUL reports that for the first time ever in Brazil icewine has been produced in this unusually cold June in Southern Brazil. This is a release on the Vinicolo Vineyard website. The following is a rough web based translation from Portuguese to English. The original Portuguese story is here.

With pleasure we inform that the Perico team yesterday registered in its vineyards, located in the farm Boy God, District of the Perico in Joaquin – Santa Catarina, a phenomenon of the nature, the most waited of this time: the ice wine. The temperatures had fallen well below-freezing and the thermometers had marked – 7.5 C. A dream if became reality: the harvest of the grapes congealed for this so wonderful act of the nature.The process of production of the Icewine, consists of mature grapes and extreme cold at-6 C, in this condition, the water that if find in the interior of the berries of the grapes congeal and the ice separates the rich juice in sugar. When the grapes are just right, they’re carefully picked by hand. Grapes in this condition have a very low yield – often an entire vine only makes a single bottle. That’s why ice wine can be so expensive and is often sold in half-bottles only … but it’s worth it! After this long harvest process, the grapes go through weeks of fermentation, followed by a few months of barrel aging in new barrels of French oak, Allier forest. The wine ends up a golden color, or a deep, rich amber. It has a very sweet (of course) taste. After vinificado we will have the pleasure to present this great BRAZILIAN only ICEWINE, which happens in Austria, Germany, north of Italy and Canada. See photos of our vineyard to the dawn, before and after the sun rose. More photos on home page.. More photos on home page.

We have posted stories on how this cold spring has caused agricultural problems in many locations worldwide. See this post . See David Archibald’s post originally on Icecap in which he forecasted these agricultural issues reposted with comments on Watts Up With That here. See Bloomberg post on spring wheat concerns in Canada due to a very cold May. See more on Spring in Canada here

Despite all these anecdotal evidences of global cooling, NOAA announced May 2009 was the 4th warmest in 130 years of record keeping (and manipulation) with an anomaly of +0.53C just a week after the University of Alabama using the NASA MSU satellite data assessed the global anomaly at just +0.043C, making it the 15th coldest in 31 years. Anthony and I will surely have more to say on this unlikely divergence soon.

Yes, Judy C., just anecdotal evidence as the one you posted: "This year late frost and heavy rain delayed or wiped out plantings in Canada and the US. It looks as if we are in for 100 years of cooler temperatures which means less food produced." Mine was anecdotal evidence too, anecdotes of one country -and please note that Brazil is not Argentina-. So you cannot rely on these anecdotes to support climate trends' studies, and that was what I suggested with my aforementioned comment.

Dianne,

My wife and friends are Scientists and they are the first to point out that it is all theory... Einstein’s Theory of Relativity is a prime example... there is no such thing as a Scientific Fact!

The Bush Administration came up with the campaign claiming that many Scientists disagree with the theory of Global Warming and Climate Change. This is the same group that talked about Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq... this is the same group that talked about how Iraqis would welcome us with open arms and flowers and pay us for the cost of the war!

The former Bush Administration even flouted a letter claiming that it was signed by 100 scientists who didn't agree with Global Warming. Close review of that letter showed that most of the signatories were not Scientists!

It should also be pointed out that Alejandra does respect copyrights... she does not blindly copy and past entire articles. She does not quote the same articles over and over.

Sent, I do not believe in Global warming at all. I believe it is the natural shift of the volcanoes. However, the food shortage is a great concern mainly because of Monsanto. Someone mentioned they had no birds earlier in their yards. Well, I think they must all be here in sunny southern California. I have a zillion birds in my yard, all day long coming and going. I have never used pesticides in the 10yrs I have been here and I know for a fact that the people of 20yrs never used anything in this yard. Countless sparrows, hummingbirds, doves, Blue Jays, green parrots, mocking birds and so on. We have over 80 trees and bushes on a 7,000 sq ft lot, A waterfall, and home grown veggies and fruits. Perhaps what people are experiencing from the lack of birds is Monsanto seed where genetically modified with Spermicides, anti psychotics, pesticides and other chemicals they can no longer breed or get sick.
I fear our wildlife is in a great danger not from Global warming but from Monsanto. They have patented all of our foods and have sued many farmers for seed landing in their fields by whatever means. They go on farmers lands without permission, take samples and take to court. The courts ruled, that the farmers are guilty and it did not matter whether the birds brought them, the wind blew them or someone put them there they were violating the patent. They now have genes patented and I wonder how long it will be before the masses are sued for having Monsanto's genes in our bodies.
Monsanto wants to be the only food source and they will do whatever it takes to be the only one.
The Global warming scare is nothing compared to Monsanto ruling our food source in cahoots with AMA, Big Insurance and Big Pharma.

Forget climate change, think population growth.

In An Essay on the Principle of Population , first published in 1798, Thomas Malthus stated his aphorism that the geometric growth of population must eventually exceed the arithmetic growth of resources. Malthus is most often invoked in the context of acrimonious ideological debates on human population growth and its effect on the natural environment. Environmental advocates, including Paul Ehrlich, Harvard University 's Club of Rome and the United Nations, decry human population growth, claiming that it causes intolerable pollution and will result in a scarcity of key natural resources and mass starvation. Others have called for international programs to slow or reverse population growth and for governmental controls on natural resource use. However , Malthus' arguments, upon which some of these fears are based, are rarely scientifically analyzed.

The Theory. The gist of Malthus' theory was that population growth must eventually outstrip the growth of resources, primarily food. According to Malthus, " the power of population is indefinitely greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man. Population, when unchecked, increases in a geometrical ratio. Subsistence increases only in an arithmetical ratio." As a result, Malthus concluded , "humanity must perpetually exist in a state of misery, as population tends to invariably expand to the point that food supplies are at the subsistence level."

Beatrice,

I am familiar with Thomas Malthus essay and he does bring up some great points. It should be mentioned that more and more people are starting to agree with the core foundation of his theory. We can look at history and the inhabitants of Easter Island. We can also look at current events which show that a majority of people are living in misery. Today, over one-billion people are starving: One In Six People Are Starving This will only get worse!

But Malthus' theory is just one part of the equation and the problems our world is currently experiencing are not good!

Climate Change which includes Global dimming and Global Warming, Peak Oil, Destruction of the Amazon, the acidification of our worlds oceans, slowing ocean currents, AIDS Pandemic, glacial retreat in many parts of the world, skyrocketing human population, loss of farmland due to urban sprawl, loss of farmland due to salinization and desertification, loss of coral reefs, and let us not forget the current Holocene extinction event (Sixth Extinction) that is occurring now... and which has accelerated since 1950... this sixth extinction is so serious -- it is estimated that in the next 91 years 50% of all species will be extinct by 2100!

Yep... 50% of all species alive now will be gone in the next 91 years... now throw in the fact that scientists are also saying that by 2100 the human population will be at one-billion people (we have 6.7 Billion people now.)

What this means is that we are in serious trouble!

Dear Sentinels,
I should have known that Judy Cross cannot read the dates of the comments or understand their content. My comment was."Saturday June 20, 2009, 2:26 pm
With 17 to 18 Celsius degrees this week (I cannot remember a hotter autumn) our crops are also suffering from water scarcity". Does Judy Cross know what "last week " means???
Or maybe this is her strategy to suggest people are not telling the truth? She called me liar using the same strategy some months ago, what a coincidence! Do you remember? Oh, by the way, maybe maps from South-America are not available where she lives... Evidently, she doesn't know that we use Celsius degrees (also called centigrade degrees and common in scientific usage) in Argentina.

The conversion is so simple!
Temp (F)= 1.8 x Temp (C) + 32
Temp (F) is temperature expressed in Fahrenheit degrees, Temp (C) means temperature in Celsius degrees.
I think that even Mrs. Cross could do the conversion if she makes an effort...

Santa Catarina is a Southern state of Brazil, its mountains are the coldest region of that country. The lowest temperature registered in Brazil was in 1996, at the "Morro da Igreja", placed at the "Serra geral" -the SW region of the aforementioned state-. The record was -17.8 Celsius or Centigrades degrees. Yes, almost 18 BELOW zero, and that happened 13 years ago... of course they can grow grapes to make icewine, but this is not new, as you can see... or you thought that vineyards are anual crops???!!!

Oh, you can check this information at ANY site about Brazil and its climate.

If you read something in Spanish and calculate 7 days (a week) before my first post (on June, 20th), the temperature in BA was: BUE 16.6 (celsius degrees. You can check it at: http://www.tn.com.ar/2009/06/14/index.html. This is a news site and the climate information belongs to Buenos Aires, the place where I live.
Notice that we are already in WINTER, this is the South hemisphere.
As for the link to the maps, Mrs.Judy Cross, check it and then try to arrive to a conclusion related with the different latitudes that Argentina and Brazil have and their climates. So you do not repeat your blunder: we should be using a sweater and a jacket, at least, at this time of the year.

This is the information released in June by the "Servicio Meteorológico Nacional" (National Meteorology Service) in Argentina:
Con respecto a las temperaturas , las mismas han superado los valores normales entre 1°C y
2°C, aproximadamente, en la mayor parte delcentro y norte del país. En la parte oriental hubo
mayor amplitud térmicamientras que en el NOA, Cuyo y Patagonia predominó lo contrario.
Durante Mayo algunas localidades del Litoral y provincia de Buenos Aires han superado el récord
de temperatura máxima absoluta del período 1961-2008 (37.0°C en Formosa, 34.8°C en
Reconquista, 33.7°C en Monte Caseros y 31.2°C en Nueve de Julio, entre otras.
Notice that the temperatures are expressed in Celsius degrees, as we do in Argentina, there's NO possible blunder, Mrs. Cross, apart from your own blunders. If I were you, I should try to improve reading comprehension and revise your notions about geography. But maybe you'd prefer to tell the people working in the SMN their thermometers were not placed there, as you said to me several months ago. By the way, you didn't recognize or realize that you were posting the data belonging to another date...

The link to the source is: http://www.smn.gov.ar

Alejandra,

You are a person who does respect copyrights... You do not blindly copy and past entire articles. You do not quote the same articles over and over. You do not chase scientists around on Care2 arguing with them. You do not quote old pseudo articles and you do not create multiple Care2 accounts in order to maliciously attack other people!

Even though Spanish is your first language... you are much better at spelling than most US Citizens. Heck, you even know how to correctly spell words like scientist, scientist's, observation, disagree, responses, inconvenient, character, opinion, assassination, intelligence and elitist!

You do not, (from accounts that were just created), take polite posts that invite others to learn more and twist them out of context in very childish attempts at making personal attacks ... again you just don't play those types of immature games!

You do all of this and more... while you are going through personal challenges which include taking care of a very ill person. It should also be pointed out that you treat others as you wish to be treated!

You are beyond reproach!
(You are a good person... and that is not a Scientific Theory!)

Take care,

The Sentinel’s Watch
(Were all in it together!)

I will try to give you each day a little of what our Father showed me in times of deep meditation.
Also I will tell you things that some of you have experienced and been laught at when you try to tell your stories.
First thing is when did it all start to go wrong?
The time of droping the bomb!

The dust particals are lighter than air but heveyer than space.
It formed a ring around the planet which then changed the rays of the Sun light coming down into the Earth.
It started to poisin the waters and create skin cancers.
You have seen the fish dying for lake of the oxygen in the water due to plants that are growing that now take in oxygen and leech out toxic carbon monoxide, all plant life lives on what we breeth out and they in turn give us the oxygen that is just part of what we need in our atmostphear.

Please forgive my spelling. no spell check.
I hate computers. Lost without though.
How many of you remember George Adamski?
Well I can tell you he spoke in truth.
But he was riddicued. Hushed up by the powers that be.
Awarning whent our all those years ago on the harm that was being done by makeing these bombs and still we are creating them.
They were told about the amount of oxygen that are aircraft was burning off.
Example - 24 pound per minuete of run off that is only one engin.
The Jumbo has four of these on bourd , do your maths, it works out 39 tons of oxygen burnt of one way from Hearthrow London to America.
How many plains up there flighing back and for every minuete of the day and night,
Where do we get this oxygen again, Plankton, Trees ,vegitation, Hum!!! Dear me think thats worth thinking about what say you.
How many of you are traveling in these times when there are pokets of oxygen missing up there in the mist and fog.
When there is no oxygen the Engin cuts out.
How many have fallen allready? How many will fall in the future. Please keep safe all my Angels, I will try again later, Janet.

All religens have books on the Laws that were handed down. Each with a slightly diferent set of instructions. but each said the same thing , each leading to the same path. Just a differnt school of thought.
Each for a comunity for each land in acordence to what they had plenty of for survival.
Apple cyder and honey for clearing with local colected honey, for clearing the mucus out of your chest in orchard growing countries. Lemons and honey in hot counties, differant fruit but God supplys all to you.
Like your water, all as long as it is runing water will not harm you no matter what is in the water in bacteria will not harm you if you drink just a little sip on the first day building up to a full glass by the end of a week. Your own emunity system will recognise the bacteria and pass it out of the body when you reoxaginize now and again with a little Hydrogen Peroxide. Do not let the water companys fool you with there water cost and the lies putting you in a stait of fear.
Look how they in India drink from the Gangies, and wirh no harm to themselves. If you or I were to drink it in too large a glass we if liveing in a cleaner country would die if we did not aclimatize are bodies with just a tiny amount first. building up to to are thurst need.
Blessings to you. Please remember this comes to you all free, from the Father, and this planet is covered in water that goes up and down and is purifyed by the Sun light, it is filtered down through the Earth bubbles out of the rockes and hills into the wells beneath your feet. Three coins in a fountain takes on a new meaning when you throw a few copper coins into the fountain no moskitoes will ever lay there eggs in the water.
and Thank you Father for my life, Janet.

Collect the stones that are in your summer fruits, the peach the plum and the apricot, store them like the squirril stores the nuts, for the winter will be long.
Take your Animals for milk and good creative cheeses and butters to higher ground.
Place all your wisdom in the mountains away from the waters harmat times of flouding.
The sheep are safe and love the hills, and creation of good garments should be produced from the wool with good job creation for the villages up in the mountain tops. This wool is sold for next to nothing at presant and the farmers cost are great with shearing and looking after at lambing time.
Remember that the finest wool spinners are always in these mountains.
We used to produced such wonderful garments and fabrics in Tartains, of each village making there own coular and design, and the Fairile Jumpers that that were knitted by the mothers at home were so lovely that everyone wanted one. Everyone had a spinning wheel in there parler.
This is how we created are work and sold to the world.
Let us make shure that we have all things for our villages,
A Backers , Butchers, and a Candlstick macker,an Ironmongers and pottery the crafts that we used to create for owerselves and even in my mountain top we have 2,000 people in the village at presant traveling down the 12 miles of mountain roads to get some form of work which they could do here in there own village.
Open up those old closed shops, and start once again to get a good society together again.
Let there be a local school where children can walk to school, within the village, so that parants can see them at play in the school play ground, and they in turn can wave to them. when the Father goes to work in the factory that we could turn an old burnt out buildin into for weaving and dying .
We could have it run on Free power , Solar, Wind, and Water,
Let each village have its own medical centure and aceident unite so that we do not need these Helicoptures
To fly them miles away to be treated costing us thousands each time it flies.
We have to have a farm witch produces the milk organicly with no vaxinations of vireses and chemicals.
Let them rome so that they can eat what they need for these Animales no what they need to eat for health and wellness.
They are not silly, or as stupid, as you think, just becouse they do not talk the same as us.
Bless you all I have to stop for I am a little week.
I love you all so much and I want you all to keep safe. Thank you Father for my life. Amen. Janet

Remember my children, what the Angels, that were sent to you as profits told you, in truth, that you will suffer much. For your little children from heavon, will come unto me.
Is this this not truth? for how many of the children have been taken from you with wrongfull ways?
In the name of science and war. How many of you have aloud yourselves to be injected, with vireses, and then had these Doctors, give you out pills, and they do not even know what is contained within each tablet for they have to read a book. How many have been sent into hospitle and then, aloud these Hospitles to delve into there bodys with opperations, and then given them permision to experiment with chemicals, which only distroy your emunity systems.
These then distroy yor organs, which then in turn give you so much sickness, and all for money making Pharma industries?
Thank you Father for my experience of this, and I say in truth, this was my experience.
Please follow Dr Rima, for wellness cures. Again thank you Father. Janet.
