THE END IS NEAR

CHRIST IN WINTER: Reflections on Faith for the Years of Winter

Note carefully these three things:

1] Our friend Kathy’s father, George, used to go fishing with his friend, Siebert. They liked to find new fishing holes that no one else knew about, which took them onto small roads in the boondocks. That meant they were lost a lot. One day, George was driving, with Siebert navigating. George said, “Any idea where we are?”

“We’re on Route E99,” Siebert said confidently, “but I can’t find it on the map.”

“E99?”

“Yes, I saw it on a sign back there.”

“You idiot,” George yelled, “that sign didn’t say E99. It said EGGs.”

2] Yesterday, in the mail, we received an item that said: Death Benefit and Free Wal-Mart Gift Certificate.

3] Last night Helen was trying to read the instructions for Pokémon Go in Hindi.

Forget the prophecies of Daniel and Ezekiel and the whole book of Revelation. These are the true signs of the Apocalypse.
