black rock mesa 9-1-26 sunset, cocktail hour on the Playa. Looks like Tatooine. Everything is just coated in thick sand and dust. What a drag. Don

| Sandstorm in the distance, coming in. Find a place to hang for the night and stay there. Rather walk around in a dust storm. A dust storm after about 30 seconds is a massive debbie downer. |
Rolling clouds of dust all day blown by a steady wind, the day is ending with zero visibility. Earthy dust is everywhere. Are we reaching a turning point? Last year included the return of the all the previous judgments (water and air), plus the new one (fire).
What comes next? Can you still leave? Don't go there if you haven't yet, you won't know how bad it is until is upon you.
Wind is picking up: 30 mph

High winds are expected to come through Black Rock City on Tuesday and Wednesday. Expect gusts above 25mph and possibly up to 40mph.
If you’re on the playa, secure your camp’s stuff and be safe. Do not drive if there’s no visibility - stop and wait it out.

Galatians 4:1-9
1 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
4 But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
8 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.
9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?
Earth, Water, Air, Fire. The elements of the world. One for each point of the cross, in which Jesus Christ died, in the world, for the sins of the world, that we might be delivered from the sins and from the world and from its elements.
