What's the New Year gonna bring?

People around the world, not just here in the U.S. (where we tend to fret mostly about gas prices),  have a grab bag of reasons to be concerned about what life will bring in 2009.

Will the coming year see increased political or financial instability, or an increase in terrorist attacks?  Will we face climate changes, hurricanes and tsunamis, earthquakes and floods ... or even a global pandemic?

I dunno.

One thing's for sure about the future though: every second of every day will take us closer to the day Christ returns and solves all of mankind's problems ... forever.

The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: 
   "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, 
      and he will reign for ever and ever."

- Revelation 11:15
