The End of the World as We Know It...

[ht_murray]

Sorry I haven't had a chance to reply to the comments on my last post. Just have a few minutes before I leave for work...

The other day chocca2 and I were discussing a timeline for a fic we're writing, and we mentioned the Apocalypse is supposed to happen in 2012. I was like, "Well, it should happen after that, but I'm not sure I want to write the boys that old..." And then WHAM! It hit me.

That's only three years away!!!!

AAAAAHHHH!!

Okay, for serious, though. I have an aunt who spent most of her high school years in an identity crisis with her religious upbringing and her growing into the freedom that comes with adulthood. She said to me once, she'd be up all night at drinking parties with her friends, laughing and partying, and then looking up and praying, "God, don't let Jesus come now and find me here."

So, there may or may not be some change of direction in my personal entries coming shortly. Cuz seriously, I don't know if I want Jesus to find me here. Yes?

I don't believe in an announced date for the Apocalypse but the I don't know if I want Jesus to find me here thought hits me every once in a while.

LOL we've survived through several Armageddon dates already. 2012 is the last hurdle... and then I think the next one after that is like sometime past the year 6000?

Are you watching the thing about the Mayans on the History Channel, and how the world is supposed to end Dec. 21, 2012? OMG I WAS JUST GONNA POST ABOUT IT. LMAO

Ehh, the idea of not worrying yourself sick about years down the road is a very good one regardless of religious leanings.

Just put a life into manageable bites. Five years, three years, a day from now is better and more nearly doable than the Big Picture. Otherwise you can wind up drowning in fear, or regret or just all those choices and the many forks in the road like true 3D chess.

Your aunt is worried about Jesus but not about the God she's praying to and telling all about her peccadilloes? Kinda insulting to poor God.

But it's an interesting concept, that timeline: Am I where I'd be proud to have my deity, my family, myself -- and what can I do to change or finetune that location?

Thanks for the food for thought!
