My dad, grandfather (on my mother’s side), and cousin Chelsea travelled to Israel on Monday evening for a 12 day trip of the “Holy Land”. My grandfather has now been to Israel about 20 times now (literally) and this is my dad’s 3rd time.
I received word today that the hotel they had reservations to stay in is the hotel that President Bush is staying in right now, and so everyone had to clear out.
Therefore, my family had to find another hotel.
Is it good or bad that everytime I consider the way that the web 2.0 works, I ponder the anti-christ and how he is eventually going to find me because of my belief system, and the web has become is tool to do this?
This is obviously because of the way I have been taught about what the Bible says about the end times, but no matter how hard I try to ignore this, it always comes to my mind. I’ve gone through these phases where, at first, I knew the web was a part of the whole wretched plan of satan to destroy the Kingdom of God.
Next, I realized I was a bit misguided and decided that the web could be used for good too. But eventually, it would catch up to us and I would some day be sifted out like tares and wheat for my beliefs, but who cares, now is now, and I could worry about that some other day. (I would of course, be a part of the wheat)
Now I just don’t care what goes out about me and who knows about it. And if some middle east dude decides to link up Israel and the Arab nations and create a massive country that combines the United States and Europe, so be it. This does not change what I’m called to do and who I’m called to serve. I would just assume love my God and my community, and share my adventures around the world. If somebody doesn’t like love, then he or she can “sit on a tack.”
But until then, because of my background, I’ll always keep in my mind the teachings that started in the 1800′s that imply the anti-christ is out to get me whenever I post anything on this darned blog.
Let’s all sing together: “There’s no time to change your mind, the Son has come and you’ve been left behind.”
