North Bound

(This is Sam again.) We feel guilty for doing so, but we believe that God will forgive us. We broke into a house that was badly damaged by the earthquake. The family inside were all dead and we stole some of their things. We found that they had a wireless cell phone modem and so are using that to connect to the Internet. They will shut it off eventually when the bill is not paid but for now it works great when we can get a signal. Most cell towers are down. We have stayed on the move not staying anywhere more than one night. Trigger carries our things except for what is in our back packs. We are on a freight train right now heading north. It was quite a chore to get Trigger on this flat bed rail car. Under the cover of dark we found a train that had come to a stop and there were several empty flat bed cars. We built a ramp for him to walk up on and he did not trust our workmanship at first. It did hold him up and we will ride as far as this train will take us. We have no worries as long as it is night but during the day when we pass through towns people give us a strange look and we just hope they are not calling the police. The train has headed steadily north and we are now three states north of where we started. When the train stops we will get off and walk north until we can catch another train.
We have seen many people with sores on their faces and hands. They look bad and they hate anyone who does not have the Mark. We have wrapped our heads and hands as if covering sores so we blend in with everyone else. We have seen on the Internet the Red tide in the oceans. The fishing industry has been devastated and beaches are covered with dead fish and many dead whales have washed ashore. The temperature of the oceans has risen and the weather is going to be greatly affected. Seeing these things lets us know that the first two bowls of wrath have been poured out and there are five more to come.
We are headed for Canada trying to get as far north as we can to escape the scorching heat that we know is coming. We figure there is less direct sun light near the arctic circle than closer to the equator. We have a GPS but it does not work very well. A lot of the satellites are down, I suppose, but still it gives us a close enough estimate of where we are on the earth.
Again I want to say that we feel bad about looting houses and stores that have collapsed. We only do so if there is no one around. There have been so many people killed that there is a lot of stuff left unclaimed. It is by stealing that we have enough supplies for our journey. There was one small town that was so devastated that it was a ghost town. We found a lot of food there and filled our packs. There was a small pharmacy that had collapsed and after two hours of digging we recovered some anti-biotics and other medicines which may be helpful. We also feel bad about not helping people. We run the risk of arrest if we have much interaction with “M's.” We pray for them and have helped some who were in desperate need.
To those who have tried to contact Ezra I want you to know that he is gone and here is how you may connect with me as you would have him: 010711-0147282022-1309091113-1508353137-01050811 We long for this connection with you and hope and pray you will be able.
