"Our earth is degenerate in these latter days;
there are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end; bribery and corruption are common; children no longer obey their parents; every man wants to write a book; indeed, the end of the world is approaching."

-An Assyrian inscription, carved in stone, about 1500 B.C.

From "A Treasury of Humor" by Eric W. Johnson

Just food for thought.

3. I always keep that quote in mind ...
Apocalysm has been a human characteristic as long as we have been human. The word is always ending for us, so we think the world will end for all of us, since our inherent narcissism cannot imagine a world without us!

5. The end of the earth has always been coming
in the same way that we are dying from the moment we are born. No big mystery there.

Would Jesus love a liberal? You bet!
