From some things I've been reading, it seems the world is supposed to end in a couple of days, May 21st.
Nuts! Life's been pretty good lately. Also, my daughter won't be happy ... that is her birthday. Oh well!
So what do we make of these predictors of the "end?"
First I think these folks are rather arrogant, and, even biblically challenged. They claim to have inside religious info ... even more than Jesus, who said, "...about that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." (Mt. 24:36)
Second, as I understand it, one predictor of the end, still asked for money. I wonder why? I don't think they would need groceries if the world ended ... would they?
Finally, scare tactics seem to get more press than love language does. It seems scare tactics "sell" a little easier.
So, what am I going to do this Saturday ... attend a meeting ... talk with a gentleman about what it means to be a Lutheran Christian ... mow the lawn (I hope) ... and attend a niece's wedding. Sounds like a wonderfully full day.
See you Sunday :)
