End of the World?

With all the tumult, violence, and unravelling going on in the Mid-East and in our own country, the earthquake in New Zealand, and dire predictions of a huge global economic collapse if oil and gas prices continue to soar, peope are asking, "Is it the end of the world?" Perhaps it signifies the need to end our world as we have been living it: rampant immorality, dishonesty, self-seeking, self-centeredness, etc. These political and natural upheavals might be the occasion for us to re-evaluate our own moral and spiritual stance, and bend our knees in sincere prayer from the heart for forgiveness, mercy, and firm purpose of amendment. Lent will be here in less than two weeks, so we have time to plan how we will spend these 40 days of grace. Personal repentance will have an effect on others, our families, our communites, our country, the world. It begins with each one of us.
