It appears the Mayans were wrong.
I guess, in fairness, the world could still end in the next eight hours (it is now 4 PM CST) but it is highly improbable.
It doesn't matter, though, because in many ways it seems the world has already ended. Perhaps this is what the Mayans were talking about. School shootings and random slayings are in the news every other day. Divorce, heterosexual promiscuity, and homosexual practice are basically accepted social norms. And God only knows what else is going on this very second.
It is becoming more of a post-Christian world every day.
God is sovereign. God will work it all out in the end, I know, but I am struggling to see "His kingdom come, His will be done" right here on earth.
Others have had the same mindset as me in previous generations. I know I am not the first to look around and see morality eroding and wonder if this is the generation that will see it all come to an end.
All that we can do is conduct our own lives, raise our children in the fear and instruction of the Lord, and be a Light to others.
But I'm not gonna lie. There are days like this when it seems the end has already come.
I sound pretty fatalistic, I know.
Tomorrow, if it comes, will be a new day and perhaps a better outlook.
