The other day I stood on my balcony watching an approaching thunderstorm and thinking about the way my views on life have changed. The storm built and crackles of lightening ran across the bottom of the clouds striking the Gatineau Hills. I have friends up in Chelsea and I hoped that the hot weather and this lightening wouldn’t produce forest fires over there. I thought about another approaching storm the one in the Middle East, and the friends I have there that might get caught in that fire of violence and hate. If I had not changed my views on religion I would likely be thinking that the end of the world is coming that the end times prophesies were almost here, but somewhere I grew up and reality caught up with me in the form of rationality. Is it rational to think that God would let it end like this in war fire and fury or is it human fear of the future that created the dispensationalist idea of the end times?
The problem is even with my matured views watching the thunder storm approach gave me a very uneasy feeling.
