2012

Another doomsday prophecy. There have been so many before. I've lived through those without mishap. I can do it one time more. Did the Mayans foresee their own decline? If not why did they speak of ours? The Bible says that no man is told. That's left to the Heavenly powers. Do you recall all of the hoopla when 2000 was about to arrive? All of our compuiers doomed to shut down and how could man survive? That we'd lived before the computer age no one seemed to remember. We sailed throught the rumors, the terrors, the fears and through the last day of December. Januay 2000 came safely in with a whimper and not a bang, so they had to find another date for the whole soothsayer gang. Sometime doomsday will surely come, although no one knows the date. Until I hear the trumpets call I am contented just to wait. For Gareth's 2012 contest.

We never know what to believe about all the predictions, Joyce. And you're right that nobody truly knows the date that doomsday will occur. Very intelligent and thought-provoking observations. Congratulations on your win. Merry Christmas, Carolyn
