The Final Countdown

We all seem to love a countdown. Think New Year's famous "5, 4, 3, 2, 1..... Happy New Year!" How about all of our web pages in South Africa plastered with FIFA World Cup countdown clocks? Remember those wonderful little calendars we received in December counting down the days to Christmas. Each day we opened a window and received a mini chocolate - what fun.

What is the Final Countdown?

We all recognize the iconic words of the song by Europe, but what do they mean to us? Well, for different people, it will probably mean different things

Different Things to Different People

A Bible believer will think of Christ's return. A final year school student will think of the day that school's out. A pregnant mom will think of the birth date. A jailbird will think of release. An unhappy employee will think of 5pm. An astronaut thinks of blast off. We each have our own countdown.

And what happens when the countdown ends? New beginnings, I guess and a new countdown!
