G.O.O.D

For all of you Left Behind fans, if you were to pay attention to what Scripture says, those who are “left behind” are the righteous. In Noah’s day, those who were swept away, or taken, were the ungodly. But alas, many are called and few are chosen.

For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left. Mat 24:37-41

U.S. grains and oilseed futures markets caught fire on Friday, with corn notching an all-time high above $7 a bushel, caught in a frenzied broad-based commodity rally led by soaring crude oil, traders said.

Further boosting corn and soybean prices were worries about the young U.S. crops. Torrential rains pummeled the American heartland this week, increasing prospects for a yield drag on both.

“There are Noah’s Ark-like conditions in the Midwest through next week,” said Vic Lespinasse, analyst for grainanalyst.com.

Farmers were hoping for ideal growing conditions this year given the huge world demand for grains and oilseed for food and feedstocks to produce biofuels.
Also, the three-month-long conflict in Argentina between farmers and government officials over a soy export tax has paralyzed trade in one of the world’s largest soy exporters and increased demand for U.S. soybeans and soy products.
