I was thinking about one time when I was a small child, there was lots of talk about the planets were going to line up, and there was lots of speculation that the gravitational pull would cause disasters.
I was rather concerned about this, and my mother, being a religious sort, said, “don’t you think surely the Lord will have returned by then?”
Well, the talk had largely subsided, and the year of the alignment came, uneventfully, and I hadn’t thought about it in a long time. One day we were in Winn-Dixie, which was a large grocery store and had a toy section. Being a young child, I was looking at the toys while my mother shopped for groceries. I heard a loud strange noise. Suddenly the old planets lining up scare came to the fore front of my memory. I thought “uh-oh… this was the year the planets were supposed to line up.”
I ventured to the end of the aisle, and I looked around. Turned out the noise was a stockman’s cart.
One time the news stations predicted an alignment of planets as described above. It was supposed to happen on my 9th birthday. I was freaking out and couldn;t get to sleep the night before
A friend reported that he got lost in Heathrow Airport some years ago. He saw a queue of people in front of a counter, so he got in line and waited a long time to get to the front. When it was his turn, he asked the person at the counter for directions to the place in the airport he needed to go. The answer: “You’re in the wrong line for the asking of that question.”
the Incas have a very accurate calender wich starts with a new area in 2012,
they mention nothing about the end of the world, and they’re having a party like we do
It’s always seems to be news somewhere about the planets lining up etc. and I have come to believe no big deal but have wonder if God ever thought of pulling out his/her cue ball and cue stick and taking a shot just for the heck of it, sort of cosmic billiards.
