    I lived in that area for decades and drove on that highway many times, but never experienced any dust storms like that. What a tragedy. My condolences for the families and loved ones of those who died. I hope the injured recover. Praying for everyone.

    • @dave-eb7vk
      @dave-eb7vk Год назад +1

      Illinois is mostly farmland. Planting season starts in April/May. Many acres are worked leaving the top soil loose. Every few years or more we get winds over 35mph for a few days. Pushes that top soil for miles. So yes, it happens. Last time I saw it this bad was 5 to 8 years ago. We aren't heading to a dustbowl just yet.

      No till farming works but, where I live if, you are changing crop harvest, rotating crops, say from corn to wheat or other grains, you would till, disc, fertilize than plant. Also, maybe the winds being that strong, no till would not have prevented loose soil being dislodged. That part of Illinois is table top flat...flatter than the Great Plains. The land is true, stereotypical, pararie.

    Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples:
    "The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.
    So you must be careful to do everything they tell you; but do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.
    They tie up heavy cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
    Everything they do is done for people to see:
    They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long;
    they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues;
    they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.
    But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah.
    The greatest among you will be your servant.
    For those who exalt themselves will be humbled,
    and those who humble themselves will be exalted".
    YOU SHALL NOT MAKE FOR YOURSELF AN IMAGE in the form of anything, in Heaven above or in the Earth beneath, or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents, up to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me, and keep my commandments.
    If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves and pray, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.
    AND WHEN YOU PRAY DO NOT BE LIKE THE HYPOCRITES, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners, to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
    BUT WHEN YOU PRAY, GO INTO YOUR ROOM, close the door, and pray to your Father who is unseen. Then your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.
    And when you pray do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard, because of their many words; do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need, before you ask him.
    This, then, is how you should pray:
    Our Father in heaven,
    hallowed be your name,
    your kingdom come,
    your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.
    Give us today our daily bread.
    And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.
    And lead us not into temptation,
    but deliver us from the evil one.
    For if you forgive other people when they sin against you,
    your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
    But if you do not forgive others their sins,
    your Father will not forgive your sins.
    "Matthew 5-7 NIV Bible Gateway", we can use google search.
    These are the teachings,
    The Righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ our God.
    REPENT, and start doing what is right.
    If you abide my teachings, you are really my disciples;
    then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
    Yet a time is coming and has now come
    when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in Truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
    GOD IS SPIRIT, so his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in Truth.
    In the New Heaven and the New Earth,
    only Righteousness dwells.
    May the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ our God be with you all.
