Dear Reader,

Ecclesiastes 3 states: 'There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to uproot; a time to kill and a time to heal.' The rest of the chapter is very telling. I encourage you to read it. Find hope in it.

Much has happened since Sunday. Please bear with me as I take you from Sunday's events onwards to today. It has been several days of hope, and several of sorrow and despair. This is a preview of what will come in the world, but don't be afraid. A new, and better, world will come where there will be no more pain, no more tears, no more sorrow. But, we must be patient. So, let's review.

Event 1: On Sunday, January 12th, I felt forced to leave my church. Some might have considered it cowardly, but at the moment I needed time away. Space to think. I felt guilty, because I was leaving my flock for my own selfish needs. It ended up being the best decision I'd made in a while. I followed a comet in the sky, one that was unseen to other people. It led me to a place called Lowell, Michigan, to a small bridgeway, river, and park. It was at this time that four individuals of different locations and ethnicities arrived. They also were lead by the comet, and confessed to having visions of me (slightly disturbing, at first). Here is what I learned about the wonderful folks that I met that night.

Muhammad Saddam: Age 26. He journeyed from Canada. He is a Christian youth pastor, and editor at a small publishing company in Toronto. His parents are immigrants from Syria. He recently published an article discussing the roots of Islam in his family, discussing the difference between extremism and faith. The article caused controversy within his church. They stated that he pushed false narrative, that no true Christian could accept a brother or sister of Islam. They claimed that it was the pathway to Hell. He was fired. He journeyed from home to clear his head, especially after he saw the comet in the sky.

Ana Juarez: Age 29. She came from Detroit, Michigan. Her parents are retired and live near her. Her mother has cancer with only months to live. Ana is (was) a softball coach for the Archdiocese of Detroit Catholic Schools. She began a counseling center for LGBT youth, which caused uproar in the diocese. She was fired, despite the fact that she is asexual. She was not involved in any sexual or romantic relationships with the opposite or same sex. Soon after, the visions became more frequent. In the vision, she saw me standing in front of the river just how she found me that night.

John Nyugen: Age 31. He and his parents are Vietnamese immigrants. He currently lives in Lacrosse, Wisconsin. He entered the Air Force at age 17, worked as a cryptologic language analysis in the A.F, and is now a software code analyst. He and his wife have a three year old daughter with Type 1 Diabetes. It can get hard, keeping track of her blood sugars at such a young age. He's had visions and dreams of codes since his teens, and he attempted to understand the coded messages in his dreams. He swore to work in the field because felt that God had called him to do such a thing, to understand what he was seeing. Since then, he has still been unable to understand the numbered systems and languages in his dreams. Hopefully, that changes now.

Nathan Spears: Age 70. Surprisingly, because he looks as though he could be in his fifties. He is a very handsome man for his age, but I digress. Nathan is a widower who recently came out as bisexual. He lives in Chicago, and pastored a well-known non-denominational church just outside of the city. Nathan was also fired after coming out as bisexual, even though he is currently single and has no desire to enter a relationship. He was deeply in love with his wife. That being said, he is also notably known for being the father of Mr. Kaemon Spears, who is running in the upcoming Republican primaries. He and I have a lot in common, and we will be seeing more of each other. I expressed to him what Mariel stated, that he was deemed the Horseman of Death. This did not phase Nathan in any way, because he suspects, based upon his visions, that his son might be an end times catalyst as well. He is not certain, but he gave me some information about Kaemon's upbringing. The boy was always charming, likeable, and had the ability to bring peace to arguments and rancor... or chaos. Due to his charm, he had the ability to manipulate people until chaos ensued. Nathan suggested that it had something to do with his wife's death, but he would not go into further detail. I could sense that he was upset, and afraid. After avoiding that topic, Nathan described a dark shadow that followed Kaemon from a young age. It never bothered Nathan, but it appeared in a vision one night, attached to Kaemon. Kaemon is on stage, speaking as a very powerful man. If he becomes president, which I believe he will, I suspect we will see a much less charming personality in the future. I empathize with Nathan, but I am a little selfish for finding comfort in the fact that another man had similar experiences as I did while raising a child. I wish I'd known him sooner, but there are few coincidences.
