End of the World??

Everyone heard about this crazy man who was 

predicting the end of the world was to begin on May 21, 2011,

except for me...

I had seen the occasional facebook post about the world ending 

a few days before but really heard

about it on Friday, the day before the world was to end.

For those of you who don't know me,

that is not enough time for me to prepare for this kind of thing.

Before you get at me though for thinking
I believe this loony old man

let me explain...

I know that this is just some crazy old guy's opinion

and that there is no way he could predict such a thing

(apparently he didn't learn from his first fail in 1994)

because only the Lord knows the day and the hour.

But...

in my head I was thinking

"What if (and I'm a big "what if-er")
this guy is somehow correct?"

I read articles about how he had predicted what would happen and
on this specific day and it seemed pretty legit!

So, what if this guy was right?

What if this is some huge test to throw us off?

What if it doesn't happen on Saturday but on Sunday to really throw us for a loop?

What if I am left behind and have to withstand the Utah Earthquake and the Great Salt Lake Tsunami???
(Those are true fears of mine!)

If I knew the earth was going to quake worse than it just did in Japan within the next 24 hours,

I would have stopped for my favorite lunch on my way home!

Okay, okay enough already.

I know that none of this was really going to happen

but I was just filling you in on what runs through my head!

But I still did spend the weekend with the one I love most

...just in case...

I still did eat whatever I wanted that day

...just in case...

I still hugged my whole family and said
my "I love yous" before I left

...just in case...

All of this really got me thinking...

I should be doing those things anyways,

not just in case.

That is the whole purpose of "no one knowing the day and hour"

so that we just can't try to be worthy at the last minute.

So prepare now.

Spend time with the ones you love, eat whatever you want,
always give a hug goodbye, and always say I love you!

And remember that

you survived May 21, 2011!
