world without end

It was pointed out to us in formation how we are a people that seem to need an ending to a story. This thought has facinated me since. Why is that? Are we somehow connected to the story?
My soon to be son-in-law blogged a short story that has no ending (find it at http://misterborg.blogspot.com/2007/02/unfinished-stories.html). My youngest daughter read it and was quite upset by the fact there was no ending. There are comments on the post by people looking for the ending. I was not too upset and found it to be an opportunity, the begining of a game "finish the story", that we would use at a recent party. This was the start of the conversation about endings. Do we need an ending? I remember when I was young, a song that we sang every Sunday in church. "Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, Amen." Funny how we remember things but that is a tangent. The key words for my reflection. World without end. Is that what we believe? Then why do we seem to desire endings. The song is dated as we no longer call it a Holy Ghost but Holy Spirit. Is the 'world without end' also dated theology? I don't think so. Life everlasting, world without end, true thoughts I to my understanding. So I don't have an answer to the question. But while searching the net for an answer I found another interesting blog http://www.adamnaranjo.com/theology/
To be honest, I like the thought of God's world without end. Maybe I will no longer look for endings.
