  This morning I was awakened by footsteps on the roof. In my early morning fog, I had so dearly wished it was Christmas morning and the pitter patter I heard was eight tiny reindeer and the big guy in the red suit, but as I came to my senses, I realized where I was.
I made my way to the front window and saw a pick-up outside. One of the elders last week told me that an insurance adjuster would be sometime in the near future to check our roof for hail damage. I am waiting for his judgment. I got to thinking about how easy it is for us to go through our normal routines, day after day, and week after week with little or no thought about our Lord's return. Doesn't He say that He will come like an insurance adjuster in the morning? Or was it a thief in night?
In any case, the point of Jesus' words was to be ready, and not to be caught up in this world's affairs that we totally ignore out of this world happenings. Are you ready for His return? Have you ever heard people pray for the Lord to speed His coming? Have you ever considered what in essence they are asking? I'd like to hear your thoughts on the second coming of Christ.
