The end of the world?

I was just thinking, we don't really plan a youth service on a Friday night with for  "plan b - natural disaster" ... What happened tonight was incredable, everyone got desperate because they didn't know what was going to happen, it felt like the end of the world, with another natural disaster so soon after Christchurch. I thought it is because the physical no longer matters anymore, in a natural disaster when you have the risk of loosing your life you wouldn't be concerned with your laptop or your clothes anymore you would be thinking about your life and where you are going when you die, or you pray to a higher power because you know there is nothing you can do in your strength to stop it, you call out to the God of the universe because you know deep down that he is in control and you need him in that moment. So tonight in the desperation we saw somewhere between 4-6 lives be given to God! I think normally we are so caught up in the physical we forget that life is more than the moment we are living in and life is more than the physical.. we forget that God created us to spend eternity with Him.
Anyway, hope this makes sence to everyone that reads this, it is almost 1am after a Friday night youth service and my thoughts and words are all jumble.
