I am standing here looking at the future and I have to tell you, the immediate future (the next 20-40 years) is not looking too hot.  Long term, Heaven, glory, eternity, looking forward to all that, but in the mean time, I think we are all in for some changes.  And I feel I need to think it all out here in cyberspace.  I will probably take a bunch of posts to do so, but here goes the beginnings.  I will be sending a head’s up to some of you for your responses, but anyone who takes the time to comment will get my attention.

First I should dice up the massive steak so I digest it a little at a time.  Changes are coming in at least the following areas, each of which I will blog on separately:

A. Globally – the whole big world can’t keep its current track and not fall over

B. Nationally – our culture has died and at means a lot of things are so that no one seems to want to discuss honestly

C. Educationally – a more specific area from “B” it still has a lot going wrong and I am trying hard to find what is right

D. Personally – I will be doing something for quite some time to come, but what that is has not clarified yet.
