Swine flu?!

Just when you think you've heard of everything. I saw this on the news yesterday. Boy! Doesn't sound too good.

"The symptoms of swine flu, which are similar to symptoms of regular flu, include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Diarrhea and vomiting associated with swine flu has also been reported. In the past, pneumonia and respiratory failure and deaths have been reported with swine flu infection. Like seasonal flu, swine flu may cause chronic medical conditions to worsen." Makes me glad I'm not a pig! Can you imagine?? Seriously. It seems that every day there is a new cause for concern. Every time you turn on the radio or the t.v. or pick up a newspaper there is something else to worry about. Isn't this to be expected though? 2 Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. If I were to live my life based on all the bad news I hear, I would bolt my doors shut, climb in the bed, and pull the covers over my head and never come out again. As we continue to live in these last days and get closer to the second coming of Christ, it grows increasingly apparent that God is taking his hand of protection off of this world. He is letting things happen to fulfill the prophesies of the Bible. We could debate all day why He is doing this. On one hand, some would say that He is letting this happen as judgement on a world that is falling farther and farther away from the truths of God. On the other hand, some would say that He is letting these things happen to try to get people to turn from their wicked ways and come to Him. The one fact that we can all agree on, is that now is not the time to be playing around with our spirituality. We need to get as close as we can to God and try to get others to follow. Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. We need to live every day as if it is our last. We cant afford not to. Have a wonderful day in Christ.
