I'm referring to the traditional sense, of the widely popularized ...wild party.

The idea is that this may be your last chance to be single, so let loose.

If this is the idea, I say you aren't ready to get married, in the sense of how marriage was/and is intended to be.

Traditions change & are heaped with compromise ...and a conglomeration of mixed beliefs.  But, sometimes those mixed beliefs tend to make us a bit mixed up.

It's called doubt ...indecision & misdirection.

If I'm having terrible trouble with a tooth of mine, it may be recommended I go to a dentist. I may not look forward to the hour in the dentist chair, but I know I need help and the new cap will likely give me the relief I need.

If End Times are coming ...& if a few hardships precede it, then we may not look forward to those struggles.

Those whose suffering is so great that they feel it cannot get much worse, may be eager for the end ...of at least the pain.

End times?? ...many people think it is near.

How do we respond?  Do we have a bachelor's party??

If it's Biblical 'end times', let's not treat it as a party ...living it up.

Often living it up, we can't live it down.

I would think it would require quiet reflection and prayer.

Let's reflect with gratitude for those who've gone before us.

If it's 'end times' for our nation, is that not something we blame ourselves somewhat for?

Many dangerous things are happening to our nation ...but, "No, I'm not referring to global warming ...or climate change."

How can we say we are better off concerning ourselves with these things?  The earth continues to rotate and revolve around the sun, yet we seem to think everything should revolve around us and our own intellectual thinking ...not the Son.
