Some people said that on May 21st at pm, the world was going to end. Supposedly Christ was coming back and the world is going to cease to exist. This horrifying and yet slightly entertaining statement both terrifies and delights me. I know where I am going when I die so I'm not exactly worried about that and since I don't think the tribulation time has already come and this is the second coming, I think that even if I missed something and wasn't taken up to heaven this time, I'd get another chance later. However, I am hardly ever this rational when I am freaking out.
Sadly it just doesn't work that way for me. Yes I am secure and confident in my faith, and yes I know that thousands of people all over the world have theories about the end of the world, and yes I know that eventually the world will end. But is it so terrible of me to not want it to end now? It's not even that I want more out of life. I wouldn't be upset that I didn't get to grow up and get married (ok... I'd be a smidge upset) or have kids, or see the world. I'm more upset by the fact that I won't know when or why or what to expect. I can't prepare or get in a good frame of mind. It's out of my hands and it scares me to death. Not to say I'm a control freak, but when it comes to big things such as a cross country move or the end of humanity as we know it, I like to be prepared.
Darn those people who start all these rumors and cause so much terror. Darn those 2010 movies, and that family who bought everything they ever wanted with one of those pay-after-one-year-has-gone-by plans, thinking that in one year, the world would end. People blame the Aztecs. science, global warming, God, sin, and so many things. For goodness sakes, the Aztec's probably just ran out of rock. I mean they wrote it in what, 200 B.C.E? They probably just got tired of writing a calendar thousands of years in advance. Maybe their arms got cramps from the hammer and chisel so they took a break and forgot to finish. Maybe the rock was suppose to be bigger but someone broke it. Maybe they just wanted to send future generations into terror. Just blame all the 2012 hype on the Aztecs.Their dead and gone anyway.
Conclusion: The Aztec's did it.

lol. i love you lianna.
ReplyDeleteisn't the extreme not-knowing crazy though? talk about being forced to dependence on God. sometimes, i'm really glad He does that. (sometimes, i'm not.)
xo.
In a very inspiring sermon i heard thus past Sunday, the pastor said something to the extent of "Independence day should really be called dependence day. We free/independent of man's rules, but dependent on God for victory." Love it! :D
ReplyDeleteoh, i like it. dependence day. :)
