It's The End Of The World As We Know It...


That's great, it starts with an earthquake
Bird and snakes, an airplane
Lenny Bruce is not afraid

Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself church
World serves it's own needs, don't mis-serve your own needs

So today was suppose to be it
Party over, oops, outta time
And we all had a good laugh...

God became a punch line.
Christians became the joke

And we have no one to blame for all of this but ourselves

The world knows more of what we hate and despise than the hope we have in Christ.
We run around acting like you got to "get it" before we'll share it

No wonder some of our brothers and sisters are so ready to jump this ship called earth.
It can be so burdensome to be surrounded all the time by those drunks, whores, and tax collectors who just don't get it.

Today while some hunkered down and waited for the trumpet call, a small group of people from the church I am blessed to call family changed the oil for 88 people

88 cars and their drivers got loved on even while the clock ticked away
Farmer's tans, car washes, hot dogs, and sidewalk chalk masterpieces
Laughter, reconnecting of relationships, new friendships formed
Son of Man (hopefully) lifted up as we just set about to love on some people

One church got a lot of attention for proclaiming the end is near
Another church set out in a small way to change the world for the better

It's the end of the world as we know it...
And I feel fine
