Are You Still Here??

Well, Golfer and I are still here and we haven't received any of those "I've been Raptured" emails from any of you, so we can assume the preacher didn't know what he was talking about! And, oh so conveniently, the paper says no one knows where he is this morning. His radio station is playing "recorded church music".

Don't get me wrong, I believe anyone should be allowed to believe whatever they want as long as it doesn't endanger others. Live and let live, I say. But, come on! Some of these people just have to make you chuckle and wonder. I don't hide the fact that I believe in God. I have personal experience with his saving powers. I talk to Him every day. I don't believe in a vengeful God though. I believe he's a loving God.

I do, however, believe there is a special hellish place for truly evil people. You know, like some of those that have been in the news lately.

Having said that, let's consider the new businesses that started up recently while expecting the end of the world. I mentioned the emails. A company would take your email and send it to all of your family and friends who were still here after you were "taken". You could write something like, "I've gone. You haven't! Ha ha!" or "Hey, don't forget to water the plants, and the mortgage is due on Monday." What would you really want to write in a case like that? I bet there were some interesting messages. And then there is the company that would take your money and guarantee to take care of your pets after you were gone. I am curious about their business prospects this morning. I personally believe that our pets will be there, wherever, when we do leave earth.

So anyway, life goes on. Work is progressing on the houses in our neighborhood that were damaged in the fire this past week. There's a lot of blue tarp on those three houses. The home owners association is collecting donations for the family whose house was struck by the lightning. We dropped off a gift card yesterday.

The weather is warming up here and will be HOT for a few days, if not for the whole Summer! I have to go out and yank a few more weeds later this morning. Also have to clean the mailbox again. It's a favorite sitting spot for the birds.

Boxer had his last football game for this year and is signed up for tackle football for the next time! Bloomer had a very successful dance recital and we're told she did the highest leap of any of the dancers! BeyB has made the honors program at her school and will be in advanced classes starting in 8th grade. We are proud of all of them and love them much!

Well, since life is still here as we know it, I have things to do and must go. Stay safe!
