Well here we are the night before the end of the world… again.

I am less concerned about the end of the world and more focused on my two girl’s well being.  They have been a bit ill of late.

Much to Family Radio’s credit, they have apologized to an extent for the May 21st debacle.  Since they asked for forgiveness in a newsletter they sent me, I gave it.  But I wasn’t mad that they incorrectly predicted the end of the world last time.  What really got me was that my “Judgement Day: May 21” bumper stickers didn’t show up until the end of June.  Bummer.  Oh well, forgive and forget.

Harold Camping has backed off his harsh judgement rhetoric.  He softened the October 21st prediction with “probably” and “possibly” and “quietly”.  Fine.

I don’t know the man.  I will never meet him.  Nor can I change him…  But I can change me.

I do know other people.  I wonder if I have been too judgmental of them?  Do they see me as someone who is so preoccupied with judgement of what they are doing wrong that I never show them Life?

Jesus wasn’t that way.  Multitudes flocked to him.  He hung out with the crowds that the religious institutions of the day liked to judge.  Jesus said don’t judge.  I guess that includes Harold.     ?
