I suppose I could go so far as to refer to actor/pundit Ben Stein as my colleague, since we both write for The American Spectator Online. It’s a little like a stock boy at Staples calling Mitt Romney his colleague, but I might get away with it. But no, I won’t do that.

Anyway, Stein, who makes no claims to Christian faith, writes today that he’s been having apocalyptic thoughts.

At breakfast, my wife suddenly said, “And then I beheld a red horse ridden by a man with a great sword….”

“What is that?” I asked her.

“It’s Revelation,” she said.

“I know, but where does that come from?”

“I just feel as if something big is about to happen,” she said. “Something feels like we’re about to live in a totally changed world. It feels like end times. Why are we apologizing to the Muslims? They’re killing and expelling their Christians and we don’t say a word. End times.”

I nodded. There is that feeling in the air.

Assuming we’re not taken up this weekend, have a good one.
