Being alert, awake, and vigilant in the
biblical sense is not a matter of living in fear of the world ending or of our
lives ending.
Rather it is a question of
having love and reconciliation as our chief concerns, of thanking, appreciating,
affirming, forgiving, apologizing, and being more mindful of the joys of living
in human community and within the sure embrace of God.
