This sixty some odd
apartment complex was built in Perryton, Texas just a few years ago.
It is an upscale, high rent apartment addition, built for people who
were needed to work in the oil industry which had boomed, but had no
place to live. The contractor who built these apartments was
guaranteed by the city to not lose any money if things died down.
Now with the price of oil going down more every day there is few oil
related jobs left here. When these apartments were built the price of
oil was $60 a barrel. Ochiltree county had a large resource of
underground crude, and it was a great advantage for the county to
produce it. The price of oil stayed up for quite some time, but when
the country shut down because of the corona virus, it has dropped to
$18 a barrel as of today, 4-17-2020. People have had to move out of
these apartments, and the ones who still live there, their cars can
be seen parked there in the middle of the day. Two or three large
motels were added to the up grade, and several business were built to
take care of extra business that had evolved.
People are very worried
that this terrible plague that has been put upon us will never be
lifted. Some of us are trying to stay positive, but those who read
their bibles know it may never get better because of the awful sin
that man had flooded the nation with. Yes, we have had bad things
happen to us before, and things did come back, but never has the
entire world been affected with a deadly virus that so far has no
known cure, or prevention. This could possibly be the death of the
great world God created, and He has been tested for the last time. If
you haven't already I would advise you to denounce every sinful act
you have committed, and plead the mercy of God. People just must
realize that God is real, He is alive, and He will not let ungodly
people continue to live in His original Land of Paradise. Too many
people have made a mockery out of God, and it is time for them to pay
up. I will say that no man is perfect, and God knows who makes
mistakes but does ask Him for forgiveness when they are not even
aware of their mistakes. It is those who seem to not care what God
thinks, and try to become greater than He that will suffer the most.
All I can say is wait no longer to join with the Christians to trust
God for mercy, and forgiveness. Ignorance will not get you excused
for your sins. Everyone has had the chance to speak to God about
their deeds. He will never fail to give them guidelines, and wisdom.
It is a personal thing, and not what someone else may tell you. No
one knows your heart but God.
God Bless
