Volcanos, and sharks, and storms - Oh My

Wow, what a weird world we're in right now. There's so much chaos that sometimes I wonder what is really going on. I halfheartedly joke about 12/21/2012, but there's a deep feeling of uncertainty in my soul. I am not scared, not 'the sky is falling', and definitely not doomsdaying - just noticing.

There are moments when I cannot stop myself from digging deep into my mind for weird tid-bits. It's kind of like a puzzle or a short book meant to clear my head for the next task at hand.

So, in the news is Egypt with its communications and internet block. On the ticker tape at the bottom of the screen is the blip about the Volcano in Japan. The story of the last twelve hours has been the coming of a storm of epic proportions, and finally, a thirty second piece on the swarm of sharks off the coast of Florida. Well, I start thinking...

Isn't the Gaza Strip just a hop skip and a jump from where all the rioting and protesting is happening in Egypt? Doesn't our Bible tell us that's the area where the Apocalypse will start? Why are so many volcanoes erupting, lately? Why has there been so much weird weather this year? What would make thousands of sharks make a mass move and where are they going?

Oh, I could spend hours doing research, re-reading the things I studied during my two years of Eschatology classes, surfing the web for explanations and scientific opinion, but really, that's not what I am in the mood for today. Actually, I am really wondering whether or not I should stock up on water, buy large quantities of beans and rice, fill all the gas cans, stock the medicine cabinet, and make sure there's enough dog food for a long winter. Nah...probably not...it's just change and there's nothing scary about change, right:-)?

See what everyone who loves me has to deal with. The never ending thought processes of weirdo. I like to think about the what-ifs and the maybe so's. I can entertain myself quite nicely...who needs the television. Hah...enough for now, it's time to go count the tiles in the bathroom, I am over the end times (for now).
