Will the world end on 21 December 2012? Have you thought about it? I haven’t, really, until this afternoon.
While driving, I tuned in to “A Prairie Home Companion,” which airs on 89.7FM, WGBH, from Boston. I was making just a short trip home from the grocery store, so I only heard a portion of Garrison Keillor while I navigated over the Natick bridge that takes me from Warwick to West Warwick.
In his monologue, Mr. Keillor touched upon the Mayan ‘end of the world.’ And he spoke about a man who had pancreatic cancer, facing the end of his life. And what do you do when you know the end is near? Do you do something heroic? Fly to Paris? Write your memoir? Fall in love?
Or do you just go about the things you’ve always done, like put away the lawn chairs, clean out the basement. Regular things that make up your life. Maybe you’d wake earlier to see the sunrise, take a walk with a child, drink a good red wine.
Whether you’re facing a terminal disease or the perceived end of the world by a Mesoamerican civilization, what would you do? If the Mayan calendar is to be believed, then we all have 32 days to live. How will you spend those days?
If the world as we know it ends on December 21st, four days ahead of Christmas, then it might be a good idea to use Thanksgiving as a chance to mend a fence, right a wrong, touch a heart.
Martha Reynolds Writes 
Good day,
In the Bible, we can read:
“Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever.”
Ecclesiastes 1:4 (NIV)
It is written-the earth remains forever which means the world will not end
If we also read Jesus’ statement in Luke 21:5-11 we will understand that these series of conflicts, calamities and earthquakes happening around the world today are NOT signs of a “coming end of the world” but as signs of the nearing FALL of the temples who taught that “he (jesus) is the christ” and that “the time of the end is near”. Know why these temples are to fall through the following links:

May you read the said links with your Bible and with an open mind.

All days are good days to make amends. The world may conclude 21/12/12 but I might go sooner. All is the work of The Creator. Blessings.

I don’t either. Of course, we never do know when it will end for each of us.

Better to live like the world may end today or tomorrow and mend a fence now…
