I was in Greece in 2004, when a prophetic word hit me so hard, I knew, the fire in my bones would destroy me, if I didn't speak it. It was frightening though, in that I had never experienced something like that before and it clearly wasn't in alignment with the surrounding conditions . . . I posted it way back in the Yahoo360° days, but it's long gone now. I'll recap here, because the economic climate is not improving . . .
The trip was beautiful, Israel for Shavu'ot, a cruise on the Aegean Sea, a few days in Greece, it was literally, Biblically picturesque, then Paris.
As the cab driver was giving a bit of tour on the way to the air port, showing the amazing stadium that was being built for the Olympics later that year, the most ominous words hit my spirit. This didn't just cross my mind, it was in my spirit. I heard and was told to repeat, "This "anniversary Olympics" in honor of the first one held in Greece was not going to draw the expected crowds, and the country would be left in devastating debt." Then there was more . . . "Even in the plan of digging out of the situation, the debt would worsen to collapse in the following decade."

I've thought often of that cab driver who I told this to and of his wife, who was an elementary teacher.
