To Quote an Old Movie (well maybe not that old)...

"This is not the end. This is not the beginning of the end. This is the end of the beginning."

What a hopeful thought. Sigh....my first thought is that he's got it backwards. The World does seem to be shutting down (it could still take a million years, but we are on our way out), not just starting up. But as I look closer at this, I start to think that maybe he has it right...this world is not our home, just a starting point that we endure. Some of us will go to an eternity in glory with Christ, and some of us will have an eternity somewhere else. But there it stands, we are just starting out with our eternal souls, even if and when this world ends, our souls don't.

So this year I am going to try to see others this way, as created beings destined and designed for eternity by an immortal unchanging forever God.
