Life was filled with guns and war, and everyone got trampled on the floor
Children died, the days grew cold, a piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
Two men walking up a hill, one disappears and one's left standing still
A man and wife asleep in bed, she hears a voice and turns her head, He's gone
I wish we'd all been ready.
----------------------------------------------------

Those are some of the words from the song "I wish we'd all been ready" by the late Larry Norman.
We are living in troubled times. In 1929, this country, and the world saw the beginning of the Great Depression. 79 years later we are looking at the worst financial failures in that many years. I read in the NY Times recently that some estimates put the price tag to "bail out" everything between 1 and 2 Trillion Dollars, and those estimates are considered conservative.
During the Great Depression, many thought that it was the end of the world. This was it. God was passing His judgement on the world and Jesus was going to return to reclaim the earth. That didn't happen.
Now we are faced with troubled times again. I'm considering a move to a new place. Finding a job that pays even minimum wage is difficult, and if you're like me and have a college degree, many employers won't even consider giving you a job flipping burgers. "You're over qualified" they say.
Are the world markets really collapsing? Are the wars getting bigger and more frequent? Are we approaching a one world government? One world Leader?
Is this the beginning of something new? Or is this the beginning of the END?
Maybe it's time to run to the caves?

Hi, I'm a musician, I live in a house and I have 3 dogs. I believe in God and Jesus, and am the most imperfect person in the world. The hand I have been dealt is better than most, but not as good as others. I am blessed to be alive, and looking forward to the day when this body will be replaced.
