Isn't this what we would all love to be doing?

RAPTURE - We know it WILL happen, but will it be this weekend?

The rapture! It’s big news this week. Thanks to the publicity of Harold Camping and his followers, everybody’s talking!  But, will it really happen this Saturday?  I have to admit, I know very little about Harold Camping other than the bits and pieces I’ve gotten from various news sources, but, from what I’ve read, I’d say his reasoning is more than a bit skewed.  The bible says in Mark 13:32,33:  But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.  Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.  But, does that mean he’s wrong?  Those of us who have been watching for the rapture know the time is very close.  The signs are all there. Everything is in place.  So, by virtue of this fact alone, Camping could be right.

But, what if, by the grace of God I'm not one of the chosen believers to be wisked up into the clouds?  I can't imagine living, if that's what you want to call it, in a living Hell forever.  I think I'll just continue to ready myself spiritually just in case.  This subject has given me an opportunity to talk to my two grown children, although I think one thinks of me as a crazy woman and was absolutely mortified that I even brought this up.  The other child was more open for discussion... not an easy task.

Yesterday, John Tng published an article on Five Doves which has caused a great deal of excitement.  After reading it, I got excited too!  I really think John has made some amazing discoveries regarding the possible timing of the rapture.  May 24 to be exact.  If you have not read his post yet, please take the time to do so, I think he makes some compelling arguments for the strong possibility of an imminent event.

Mother’s Day

This was our 4th annual four generation get-together at Potomac Bead & Co. in downtown Hagerstown.  Mom, myself, Ayesha, and Faith spent the afternoon putting together bracelets and necklaces only after Faith and Ayesha presented mom and I with a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers.  I was really hoping to get more great pictures, but the batteries died in my camera… stupid camera!  Afterwards mom, dad, Carl, and I went to the Park-n-Dine in Hancock for a great Mother’s Day buffet, then topped off the day with ice cream from the Big Dipper in Hagerstown.
