Coffee Rings and Christ

People have been saying it's the end times for a millennium.
Christ tends to percolate to the surface of the mind.
During turbulent and bloody times.
There have always been wars, plagues, and bad men.
People have suffered and grieved and moved along.
Plowing through the bones of the saints and the damned. 
Enduring the indifference and savagery of kings.
They've waded through the backwash of time.
To see yet another and another sunrise.
Christ is not coming any time soon.
Just be nice to one another
Kick back, have a cup of Java, enjoy the sunshine.

I’m having a terrible time with my brain and am trying to read, and nothing gets in that doesn’t want to but this is the third from you that I’ve read today and I can’t find better words to say your writing is amazing. xomo

(chuckling) My momma would never let us set anything on top of the Bible, so that really brought back a memory, Anthony. I don't believe it's the end times either. Times have been worse; times have been better!
