Inflation

 Breakfast is the meal I most care about. Sadly this morning I used the last of my eggs so off to the store. Two small bags partly filled for just over 20 dollars. 

Bacon and eggs, well, I settled for a dozen eggs and will add the real bacon bits I have on hand to my eggs for flavor. Add to that a package of the less expensive off brand sour dough muffins.

Olive oil was expensive so I settled on the store brand. Bananas  and oranges rounded out my purchases.

It's just me so while I'm very annoyed I'm not about to starve. I'm concerned mostly about families and also about all of us with raging inflation.

Are we hearing an advanced warning of the Black Horse...the sound of hoofbeats? I'm reminded of:

Revelation 6:6 KJVS

"And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine."

Prices so inflated that a day's labor was required for bare subsistence. Oil and wine, possibly the Elitist, however I'm betting not the store brand of olive oil.
