2010

it is both a movie and a documentary, this upheaval of the world.

blame the mayan calendar, soothsayers and nostradamus as culprits. will it be 2010? will it be the end of the world?

every beginning must have an end. so is the earth born million of years ago, it has to die. of course, we hasten its death by global warming, ozone depletion, unwarranted waste disposal, pollution and ecological degradation. the source of ecological garbage is moral garbage.

however, the world's end is not the signal of god's coming. nobody knows. we can only hope. he might even come before our lives come to an end today or tomorrow.

the call, then is to continue to live in the love of christ. after all, during the particular sunsets of our lives, our personal accomplishments would not matter a lot. what would simply matter is the clarity by which we love one another in faith.
