Expecting anything soon? I am!!!

But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light;  the stars of heaven will fall, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.   Then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.  And then He will send His angels, and gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest part of earth to the farthest part of heaven.“Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near.  So you also, when you see these things happening, know that it is near—at the doors!  Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.  Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. (Mark 13:24-31)
Oh, the signs are here for sure! The crowds . . . the music . . . the songs . . . the parties . . .the lights .  .  . the trees .  .  . Joy to the World . . . CHRISTmas is coming!

But what about the bigger reality?

These signs are even more present and even more of a reality: wars, earthquakes, floods, violence in our cities, proliferating injustice, homosexuality, denying a faith passed down from generations . . . there is a bigger anticipation that CHRISTmas . . . Yes, Joy to the World indeed . . .CHRIST is coming!!!!

Expecting anything soon? I am!!!
