Now to continue writing what may be my last post, but more than likely it will not be. Even if the world would end tomorrow, via zombies, earthquakes, tsunamis (why is there a t at the beginning?), fire or something we may not have heard of before I'd more than likely try to sneak one more post in here. =] But what I did want to say is that it has seem to become trendy to speak about apocalypse these days. First there was the Y2K where all the computers would apparently shut down and ruin the world because they could not handle the number 2000. (I think we would have been just fine without computers back then, we did not rely on them as much as we do today. Maybe if computers failed to work today we would be more in a bit of a pickle.) Also, this didn't not make too much sense because there is no reason why a computer would not be able to compute a new number, because that is what they are made to do. Right..? Then a new date came, December 21st 2011! The new apocalypse day sponsored by the Mayan Calendars, was even boosted by the terrible thriller 2012 (which me and some friends had the idea of watching at midnight and did unfortunately.) After that, familyradio bought thousands of posters and got people everywhere confessing that the end of the world will start tomorrow and end Oct 21, 2012. Funny that the end of the world takes a full 5 months to happen. I am greeted by these signs every time I enter my little town and I wonder, how can someone set a day and time for the Apocalypse when people on the other side of the earth will be experience May 22nd as we go through our 21st? Though I don't really believe that it will all come down tomorrow, it does make me think.
It says in the Bible that the Lord will come like a thief in the night, in the twinkling of an eye, and that no one knows the day nor the hour when He will return for his people, not even Jesus himself claims to know the answer, buy God alone. I've been thinking, that I know that our days are limited, and though I doubt tomorrow is our last day, I would rather take a moment to make myself right with God today and be safe than to be sorry tomorrow. I also think that since I never know when the Lord is coming, why should I limit myself to making myself right with God on one night? I think that from now on, my prayers are going to be said with a bit more honesty and care, because I sincerely do not want to be left here on the earth when the Lord takes up his beloved. I'd much rather be with Him. I know I'm going to be, but there is no harm in saying a prayer one more time.
