my kids

i was just thinking today about what my kids have been exposed to compared to my childhood. they have witnessed the greatest terrorist attack the world has ever seen (9/11) , possibly the greatest natural disaster in world history (2004 tsunami), and now the greatest natural disaster in american history (hurricane katrina). i honestly can't remember a whole lot of major events from my childhood. i can remember gas rationing with odd & even fill up days, the assination attempts on president regan & pope john paul 2 and the space shuttle challenger disaster.

i'm not an end times fanatic. i figure Jesus is coming back at the appointed time & i may or may not be here to see it. i don't run around looking for "signs of the times". i don't buy the whole pre-trib rapture thing & if anything i'm an amillennialist. i just find it odd that these major events have occured in the short life span of my kids (9 & 11 years old).
