TORNADO DREAMS

Dreamt that a huge tornado was coming. We went outside to check it out and saw it was very near. It was huge and their were storm clouds all around it. We ran into the basement to hide in a corner. The whole house shook as it went by but we survived fine. I felt relieved then went back outside to check it out. In the distance we saw 2 more tornados approaching. We ran back inside to hide from those as well. I awoke when we were huddled in the basement again.

WARNING SIGNS OF OCD

I can't believe how many people i've come across in the last year with serious unchecked OCD (Obsessive compulsive disorder). I know in the church it's taboo to get help but maybe this will wake you up to yourself or those around you.

Warning Signs of OCD

• Do you wish you had an “off” button so you could stop thinking about the same thing over and over?

• Do you feel the need to repeat a ritual that would be embarrassing if others knew what you were doing?

• Are you so competitive that if you are not the winner or the absolute best you feel deeply upset?

• Do you need to control everything and everyone?

• Do you worry about your sexuality, your performance or your orientation?

• Do you wash your hands repeatedly? Do you take several showers a day? Are you a neat freak? Does mess, disorder or dirt bother you a lot?

• Do you unplug your appliances when you go to bed at night or when you go away for a few days?

• Do you bite your nails, pick scabs or pimples, pull skin, pull out hairs, or mutilate your body in some other way?

• Do you hoard items, especially things that are not really needed, or in amounts that are excessive?

If you answered yes to these questions you may have obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Interventions and treatments for obsessive-compulsive symptoms can bring you relief and a new lease on life.

Treatment Options for OCD

There are several kinds of treatment for OCD. Psychotherapy, behavior therapy, and medicines are available for people who have obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Most research and psychiatrists recommend Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) as the therapy of choice for this condition. CBT is not concerned with the reasons that someone is OCD instead they focus on extinguishing the symptoms and changing the negative self-statements that often occur. CBT is most successful when the patient practices the techniques that are taught by a qualified therapist. CBT is often used with children who have OCD.

Some people want to understand the underlying sources of anxiety that contribute to their obsessive thinking, rather than focusing only on symptoms. Talking therapies, such as interpersonal psychotherapy or psychoanalysis are recommended for patients who are willing to use insight, reflection and analysis to explore their issues.

Medicine may be necessary and is prescribed by a psychiatrist or internist to alleviate symptoms of OCD. SSRI’s such as Prozac are often used because they reduce anxiety which helps change obsessive thinking and compulsive actions. Other kinds of prescription medications are also available.

Alternative remedies, such as teas or valerian root can help.Acupuncture, relaxation and yoga, may reduce anxiety, which in turn, allows an individual to manage their obsessive-compulsive symptoms.

POPE QUITS!

Pope Benedict, leader of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics, said on Monday he will resign on Feb 28. because he no longer has the strength to fulfill the duties of his office, becoming the first pontiff since the Middle Ages to take such a step.

Pope  Benedict's resignation will mark the fulfillment of the Prophecy of the Popes with a possible appointment of  the 112th Pope Peter the Roman the last and final Pope before the return of Jesus Christ.

The 112th Pope Peter the Roman will confirm Archbishop Saint Malachy's prediction in 1132 a.d. that there would only be 112 popes in world history and  Pope Benedict was the 111th.
Peter the Roman the 112th Pope will feed the sheep during the ultimate persecution of the church during the Tribulation and the return of Jesus Christ.

The average Pope serves a 20 year Papacy at the age of 65 and dies around the age of 85. This means that based on however age the next Popes is we Have around 20 yeas left until the coming of the Lord and the ultimate Tribulation and Persecution of the Church around 2025.

The Exact Text reads

"In the extreme persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will sit [i.e., as bishop]. Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations: and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the terrible judge will judge his people. The End."

• Extreme persecution is coming to the Church 
• The last Pope will Be Peter the Roman 
• He will Be the last Pope during the 7 year Tribulation
• After the Tribulation is over the city of 7 hills will be destroyed.
• The city of 7 hills represents a great city ruling over 7 territories
• Jesus will return for and judge his people after the 7 year tribulation
