The world didn't end

Yesterday was June 6, 2006, also expressed as 6/6/6. There were a few (thankfully very few) superstitious individuals who were concerned that the world would end yesterday. Of course it didn't, because nowhere in the Bible does it specify the number of the beast as the calendar date signifying the end of the world.

I even heard that casinos were giving odds on the end of the world. My question is, if you won the bet (i.e., the world did end), how would you collect your winnings? What would be left for you to spend it on?

Allergies

My, this has been one of the worst years for allergies that I can remember. My only relief has been the medication I'm taking. (Yes, I've learned when to take it now so that I don't risk falling asleep during Sunday service and other inappropriate times.) Otherwise, I'd be a wreck whenever I step outside my house. Now, I'm only a minor fender-bender. I pray that things will get better over the summer because that's the time of year when I'm often asked to help out with outdoor activities.
