Raptured

Here is a video that my mom shared with me the other night. In the Bible it talks about the end times and a lot of the things that are mentioned there are happening today all over the world (floods, wars, etc). Do I think we are in the "end times"? (personally -Yes). I would not even begin to guess when Jesus will come back. It could be today while I'm typing this or it could be another 500 years. In the Bible it says that no man knows. I do know that I am ready for His return. Are you?

The Rapture and End Times are not meant to be a doom and gloom subject for those who are saved. It should be something that is looked forward to by believers.

I just do not feel that way. i want to be here. i want heaven but later...i want to see my kids have kids etc. why is that bad? I am not asking, you , Lura, just in general.

when i started college all these nazarene girls were obessed with the 2nd coming. They talked about it like it was santa claus. they use to say very odd things like "oh my math test will be hard, i hope jesus comes back before that". That is just weird to me and very disrespectful.

I hope we stay here for a long time longer....

Lura, I have a set of 4 cd's that is about Christ's return. I really think you would like to listen to it. I will send you a copy if you'd like.

Sonya I feel the same way. I think I get a little too paranoid about it though. I remember being pregnant with Gabe and was around some of Sean's family that were talking about it and I spent several weeks worrying about what if it happened before I gave birth? I was seriously freaking out about it because while I look forward to being in Heaven I didn't want to miss out on birthing my child! Is it no wonder I am in therapy?!

Ok, I'm finally going to comment on this.
I do not believe it at all. I know that it is global warming that is causing all this change.
I have so much more to say on the subject. If you really want to know what else I have to say then I'll just email it to you. :)

Last I checked, God could cause global warming.
