Turbulent Times

It seems that we are living in especially turbulent times, and many people are fearful for various reasons.  When Mary brought her baby to the Temple for purification, an old man, Simeon, blessed them and told her that her child was set for the fall and rising of many, in other words, turbulent times.  It would seem that God is especially at work in our day, and the Spirit, a spiritual wind, is moving in some direction, the specifics of which are not yet clear to us.  More on this later.
