Chaos or is it just me?
So, I've been really plaqued with some heavy thoughts since Hurricane Katrina. I go from thinking we are in the end days to, it's ok, things will get better for these people and life will go on. But...I seem to side with the first part rather than the latter.
I can't help but think that we are in the end days. The world is very shaky and seems to get shakier as the days go by. Not only are things just absolutely crazy, for example, horrific crime, very little morality, lost values, enormous greed, terrible disease, child hunger, endless war and the increase in natural disasters such as the psunami and now Katrina. What gives anyway?
Is it just because of the mass media today that brings all this awful news to our ears so quickly whereas years ago when bad things happened you didn't hear about them until it was all over? Or is it just because this is what is suppose to happen? Things winding down, getting totally out of hand until it's all over, no more?
Ugh, it's been bugging me alot! And, being a Christian soul I probably shouldn't let it bother me so as I want the world to be a better place, I want peace and no more war, hunger, poverty, etc, etc. I guess I just don't know if I'm up to the challenge of what it's going to take to get there. Or...maybe I'm just depressed!
But...until I can figure it out, if ever, I'll keep praying for the world and those suffering in the wake of Katrina. I plan to help the relief effort with a small donation and if I was 15 years younger and no family of my own, I'd be down there in a minute to do what I could to help!

"I'll keep praying for the world and those suffering in the wake of Katrina..."
Sometimes it seems that is all we can do.
...or perhaps it's what we're meant to do?
