I don't know what is going to happen with our world, but I have had a feeling for some time that something BIG is going to happen. Will it be 12/21/12? Doubtful as the wheels are already in motion for what is to come. That could be very good news or it could be something painful.
From what I see, several possibilities exist...the world economy will collapse, led by the US and it's $17 trillion debt. Nuclear attacks (Israel vs Iran), complete electrical grid failure due to intense solar activity, a hit or near miss from an asteroid early 2013 and finally, Jesus returns to stop the insanity.

Is nothing at all an option? No because it's too late for nothing to occur. Greed and hatred have caused our problems, now the earth and its people are rebelling. Tough times are ahead, but ultimately remember that this life on earth is temporary and nothing bad will ever really happen to us. Maybe physically and mentally it will be hard but our souls are eternal and are merely adding to our wealth of knowledge and experiences.

Enjoy the ride and if things get bad, you will be ok in the end.
