Borrowed Time

          Friday, May 22nd

    Hope you've enjoyed the last four
years! You weren't suppose to have
them. How soon we forget!
    According to a prediction made by
Christian Broadcaster Harold Camping
the world was suppose to end on May
21st., 2011.  Four years ago yesterday!
    That prediction prompted some of
his followers to sell their homes and
possessions in preparation for
Judgment Day.
    I took a chance and wrote a Bog
that day anyway. I kept writing even
after he "adjusted" his prediction to
October 21st., 2011. Guess I'm just a
risk taker. Or maybe I just remembered
that Camping had originally called for
the world to end in September of 1994.
    I had just about forgotten about
Camping when somebody pointed out
that the Mayan calendar ended abruptly
on December 21st., 2012!
   Surely that proved the world would
actually end on that date, What a
bummer. Right before Christmas!
    When that date found everybody
still here I had to run out quickly to
buy presents!
     Now here we are, 4 years later, and
it turns out we've got a whole year
left!
      A Professor from Salt Lake City
who was excavating with his students
at the site of the famous Donner party
disaster of 1847 found a time capsule
left by the settlers which contained 
a prediction that nations will begin using
biological warfare and that, in 2016,
one such disease will spread and kill all
of the humans on the planet.
     So we've all got some time. Well,
not all. The end of the world finally
did come for Harold Camping. He
died on December 15th of 2013.
     I wonder if he saw that coming?
     Enjoy everyday you have, and may
all your NEWS is good!
