Pleasure seekers abound. My desert reels with rave parties. Corruption, once the private brew of developing countries, now so permeates our own society that we have come to expect it. We are not fooled into thinking that the huge contributions to politicians by special interest groups are just an expression of free speech. Indeed, so blatant are the self-interests of our governmental figures that we daily reach new levels of cynicism.
Monopolies abound unabated.
The world is for sale. Ah, that is why my longing is so strong, the longing for Jesus to return. That is one reason why some people view the coming new year's day with excitement, wondering, hoping, expecting. However, if they think January 1 is the day, they are misguided. Jesus even said so, himself.
