the last day of 2008

i remember the craziness of Y2K. . . do you?

people were freaking out - Christians were freaking out. . . putting away canned goods, water, batteries and basic survival gear. travel plans were cut way back. . . everyone wanted to be in their own homes when the world ended. . .

hmmmm, that didn't happen.

it seems like there is a lot of worrying and fear about what the future holds for all of us. suddenly the world is a much smaller place than it was during the Cold War. now we share a economic connectedness that is terrifying on a good day. the internet, while sometimes showcasing our cultural differences can't help but point to the truth that we all bleed red. . .

we do not know what 2009 will bring. . . but we shouldn't be afraid. . .
we know what to do ". . . to act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with our God."

and that is enough.
