This week on These Present Days we are combining all of the current news stories that are not going away anytime soon. The stories that popped up quite unexpectedly without an end in sight. Stories that caught most people by surprise, off guard or out of nowhere. In the days nearer to the end of all things, as Jesus spoke of in Matthew 24, unexpected occurrences involving unexpected people will only be increasing. Even the return of Jesus is going to be an unexpected event even though we know it's coming. As followers of Jesus and people who determine to live in the fullness that has been provided to us by God our Father, we must begin an expectation of unexpected things to come; including the end itself. We need to not only BE ready, but even more importantly, we need to LIVE ready.
