or, how I learned to stop worrying, about EVERYTHING

I’m quite old, so worrying about anything is really rather silly.

But a LOT of things are going on around us right now, on many, many levels, from the significant to the bizarre. And drama surrounds everything.

First, people were sick and died in great numbers, everywhere. Life lockdowned for everyone for varying times and then resumed weirdly. People continued to get sick and die in large numbers, even, if not especially, those who enrolled in all the curatives.

Now there are wars and rumors of wars and great strange meteorological events.

And people are dying in large numbers, with few details.

Floods in the desert. Earthquakes. Bizarrely intense fires.

So, all lot are a little edgy.

And we haven’t even talked about the crazy satanic crap that is oozing out of hollyWeird and other centers of so-called creativity. Or the mentalILLnessMasquerading as life choices.

People are touchy. About everything.

In and around all of these strange and twisted upheavals and epiphanies, many people are talking about God. Most specifically about whether or not we are in the end times.

Many think we are, and many of these people believe the rapture is imminent. As in “sometime this year” imminent.

Some people don’t accept the rapture at all, say it isn’t Biblical; and others will argue the timing of it until you wish it would come.

Now, I’m not about to propose that we stop going to church — we need Christian fellowship more than ever, while we still have the freedoms.

But here’s the point: if the antichrist is setting up shop as we speak, then Jesus is coming soon. So, isn’t arguing about religious doctrine moot?

The Bible says that when Jesus returns “all will see Him.” That means ALL. Everyone on the planet will know He’s back.

You are either going to raise your arms to receive Him, or you’re going to be scared to death! But you are NOT going to be thinking about the finer points of infant or adult baptism.

And you know what? I really don’t think He cares whether you sing out of the Baptist hymnal or communion with Latin liturgy — if you accept Him as your Lord and Savior, that’s all that matters.

And even if we aren’t pulled out of the maelstrom of modern life by the rapture and the second coming, it’s still a good time to have Jesus in your life. You won’t worry about a thing.

Here’s a little musical reminder not to worry. LINK

(Mr. Marley became a Christian shortly before his death. )

Summarizer

Bob Marley, the reggae superstar and popularizer of Rastafarianism, converted to Christianity in 1980.¹ He was baptized as an Orthodox Christian by Abuna Yesehaq, the archbishop of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, just seven months before his death on May 11, 1981.⁰ According to Yesehaq, Marley had a desire to be baptized long ago, but there were people close to him who controlled him and were aligned to a different aspect of Rastafari.² He came to church regularly, and he was buried under Orthodox rites on May 21, 1981, with his Bible and his Gibson guitar.³ Yesehaq addressed claims that Marley’s terminal cancer was the motivation behind his acceptance of Jesus Christ as his personal savior.²
