Rapture?

A few days ago, I saw a white minivan driving on the highway sporting a few bumper-stickers with messages referring to the rapture. These weren't the everyday "Jesus is coming, are you ready?" stickers. These stickers claimed the Messiah would be returning precisely at 6PM on May 21, 2011. This is just a few days away! Did I miss the invite? I do attend church every week, I go to bible studies and have many friends of many denominations. Somehow, they forgot to tell me. So I did what any smart person looking for information would do, I Googled it. After researching the whole 5/21/11 rapture prophesy claims made by Oakland minister Harold Camping,  I chuckled a bit in my mind (I didn't laugh out loud). I started to think about what would happen if he were right.


Please do not misunderstand what I am saying here. I am not a crazy person; I do not believe Christ is returning on 5/21/11, as Camping is proclaiming. However, I do believe Christ will come at some point and I do believe what it says in 2 Peter 3:10-14 says, “But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. …the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. … But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness. So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him.”


What does this mean? He could come at anytime. He could come now, next week, five thousand years from now, or even on 5/21/11. What am I doing to prepare myself? I guess not a whole lot. It was just an interesting thought I had...

My Life Would Be Easier If...

1. I wasn't paranoid.

2. I didn't feel the need to control everything and everyone.

3. I had a better self esteem.

4. I did what my parents told me to do many years ago.

5. I didn't care so much what others though.

There are too many things I don't understand...

Here is a quick list of things I do not understand. If anyone feels up to enlightening me, please do!

1. Why do people try to cover lies with more lies, knowing they've been caught in their first lie?

2. Why do those people at the mall insist on saying "Miss, can I ask you a question?" every time someone passes them by, even if they've just asked them a few minutes ago.

3. Why do women feel like they need constant affirmation they look good (myself included)?

4. Why is it that people have time to spend hours a day in cyber-space and when it comes down to spending a little bit of time on something productive, the excuse is there is no time?

5. How can we allow ourselves to be hurt over and over again?

My Own Enchanted Loom

I have never blogged before, but feel as though I am being called to do so. This blog will consist of writings of all sorts about anything which occupies space within my own enchanted loom. Please feel free to comment, provide feedback and critiques, and/or ask questions. 

"The great topmost sheet of the mass, that where hardly a light had twinkled or moved, becomes now a sparkling field of rhythmic flashing points with trains of traveling sparks hurrying hither and thither. The brain is waking and with it the mind is returning. It is as if the Milky Way entered upon some cosmic dance. Swiftly the head mass becomes an enchanted loom where millions of flashing shuttles weave a dissolving pattern, always a meaningful pattern though never an abiding one; a shifting harmony of subpatterns." -Charles S. Sherrington (1942) Man on his Nature
