"16% of petrol stations now have fuel" (rather than the 10% figure over last weekend). that's a direct quote from the UK Government (well the first part is - the bit in brackets is the rest of the equation)

or, 74% of petrol stations in the UK currently have insufficient, or no, fuel - like our local one, that is dry of fuel again

The UK is in an unusually difficult situation regarding fuel supplies. and [no] it won't get better overnight; [yes] it is affecting many people and [no] it won't simply go away just because it will [eventually] return to normal

And, unlike the BBC - who love inciting a panic - I do not believe that tanker drivers in military uniforms will cause widespread panic - actually I suspect they'll receive a round of applause wherever they turn up.

And I also like the truth - all of the truth, because I'm a big boy and can make my own mind up correctly when presented with the facts.

Now for the British thing, I'm off for a cup of tea to sort the world out

@Berrybunchfamily I can identify with the frustration. As to sorting the world out...that may take some time. I find that I need to dig more into the Word of God to help "cope" with the mess this world is in. My husband and I were talking yesterday about so many signs that we're getting closer to the things written in Revelation. God is still seated on His throne and not one Word of His has failed. We have to keep our trust in Him and keep sharing His truth with others so that as many as possible will enter His Kingdom. You and Jo are doing this, and this is what matters. I will pray for your nation during this crisis. Nigeria has also been placed on my heart even more recently. Just as in Egypt in Moses' days, God heard the cries of the oppressed, His ears are still open to His people.

@Cherishingsparrows2020 amen

So many broken, hurting people...yes we, too, are pressing on - doing what we believe God has called us to do, with all we are and have to offer, such as it is, for God to grow as He wills it - for His Kingdom 🙂

Jo and I had a similar conversation about the end times. Ultimately, of course, we've been near them since Jesus was here, so we carry on, carrying on for His Name to be praised, 'running the race marked before us'.

Thanks for your comments - they're very encouraging and uplifting!
