We Don't Really Know

Good morning! It appears to be raining a bit this morning, little showers every now and then. Lately, you may have asked, "What happened to autumn?" The days have been almost late summer-like a month into the new season. This October has not been much like the traditional month we know from of old. Rain is welcome today as we seem to have gone a long time without any. But, it seems that no one will be living here by 2060 anyway. A few robot tractors rumbling about the place and a couple of drones overflying the cattle herds will be all the activity we can expect. Trains and trucks will fly by above the transport routes, and once a month a drone will drop off my food supply from Amazon. I'll be nearly a hundred by then, and probably the last remaining weird old man in Julesburg. Nah, we don't really know what will happen by then.

Trends come and go, trends reverse and flow the other way. Solomon reminded us that everything comes around again; only he said it way better than I just did. The prince of this world may want everyone to move to the cities to make it easier for his Antichrist, but that is just speculation on my part. Is God moving everyone closer together and the Front Range of Colorado is one of the Rapture points? Again, we don't really know what is moving people here and there. The time of the end may be later this year or not until 2114. We are given today; we can see some of the past, but none of the future. What will the landscape and population distribution be like in 2060? We don't really know.

Praise God for Jesus Christ His Son. That our Lord Jesus will return again, we do know. That today looks different than yesterday, we do know. Perhaps the world will have its way with small, rural communities, and one day they will be extinct. But that is only a maybe. What we do know is that God loves us right where we are today.

Have a good one of those today thingies!
