The END of the World and My Life
So if you are reading this – you are still here. And if you are reading this after October 21, 2011 – you are still here as well.

May 21 and October 21 are the two days that Harold Camping told us would be the start of the End. And people bought into what he said. In fact they bought lots of stuff and paid out money – real money – the kind that we have to buy groceries with.

Most every one has cast dear Harold as a nut bar… a crazy that puts any one else that believes deeply in Spiritual Things in harms way to a scoffing public.

For years we, as Christians, were looked down and our message was mainly preached inside of churches where believers like us congregated. Now Harold has gone a messed that all up by telling the public that the End was near… in fact that the End started yesterday and that everything that was about to start happening is part of the END.

I want to laugh and I want to cry – all because of Harold... dear old Harold… YIKES – what do I do?

Harold is correct in one sense… everything after this minute is the END. The END is now closer to you than it was before you opened this page. In fact the 300 or so heart beats you have wasted here reading… are all gone… you are now 300 heart beats closer to your END! Make that another 372… and counting.

The problem with Harold is that he makes the truth look strange and weird… and whacko… and nothing any person in their right mind will believe – ever!

I still believe that Jesus will come back – some day. I still believe in the Rapture. Sorry – that is the whacky part in me to hold to the truths that I was taught. I do not believe in beating you over the head with my understanding. If you want to know more why I believe what I do – contact me directly. I will not pull a Harold Camping on you. I care for you too much.

Today is my 1000 post on this particular Blog. I had posted 625 times on the first Blog before that. That makes 1625 times that I have written words for my Grandkids to read. I know that about 100,000 people have read my words to date. Knowing that is kind of cool. But knowing that some day my kids will know me better by what I write… and what has come from my life – is really important to me.

Will they find me credible? Will they find me to be someone that they can look up to? Or maybe even want to be like me…?

I do not want to be like Harold Camping.

I have to run this morning. I have some quality living to do before my END.

I hope you have a better day today than you did yesterday. I trust that God will be some part of your life today. And please let Harold be Harold. God will take care of him... he has much to answer for in days to come.
