I love it when I come to these texts that speak of the end of the world. Given that it's 2012 and so many have predicted this to be the year it all ends, it's nice to hear Jesus reminding us that nobody knows when the day or hour will come. I suspect he could have added the word "year" in that list as well. While we don't know when human life ends, it all ends for each of us one day. Whether that's through a human-extinction-causing event, or individually dying of old age or disease or random accident... death comes to all. Some try to cheat it, and some even plan to succeed, but it is the awareness of limited time that moves us to make the time we have count. Good news-- you woke up this morning! What will you do to make the most of this day? Live!
