Change of Times

It seems May 21st, 2011 was suppose to be the end of the world as we know it.  To me, this was just a day of Rugby at the Rio Tinto.  If there was anything going on, we didn't feel it or know anything. We were so engrossed with the National Rugby Games all day and with the great weather and loads of people who came to see this championship game, we had a great time.
This is only the Change of Times.....not the Sign of Times.  
The sad part of this Change of Times are the tornadoes that brought a lot of destruction to parts of our states.  One in particular, Joplin MO., how sad it is to see the devastation of Joplin.  My prayers goes to the people of Joplin.
Prior to that, it was Japan.  The constant destruction that hit Japan over and over again.  My fear is the devastation it can create on the polynesian islands, esp. my island where my relatives and brothers live.
I will always watch the Change of Times.....until it definitely becomes the Signs of Times.  For now, I go on with my life and be the best I know how to be. 
I cherish my relationship with Gary, his daughters, and his family.  I hold dear my faith, even though I have been away from the church for 2 years.  In my heart my belief is still strong and although I have doubts in those who procrastinate their faith, I know what is the truth and I also know the truth only comes from my Heavenly Father.
I love my children and my grandchildren.  I love my mom and dad.  I love my siblings and all my family.  
As long as I have the power to hold close all that I love.  As long as I know My Redeemer Lives.  As long as I have true faith in God, my father.  As long as I stand as a witness and see the Changes that are happening in my era.  I am not afraid of the Change of Times.....I do know the Sign of Times is close at hand.
Be of good cheer.....Put aside petty differences.....Hold on to all that you love and cherish.....Speak kindly, even to those who don't understand you....Push aside all that distresses you, seek only that which fulfills your heart with warmth and love.
