Raccoons and Rapture

The raccoon came back last night. I heard him knock over my trash can at three a.m. and I grabbed my slingshot. Hit him with a quarter. He came back at 3:15. I missed him with a large stone. Long story short, I failed to kill him once again, and I missed my class because of the lack of sleep from those antics. 


Score board:
Raccoon 13
Ed 1 (I caught him in a snare, but a neighbor let him go, that's one in my book)

Now, how about that rapture that is going to happen? May 21, 2011 according to an 'expert' who is a Christian and an engineer. He has calculated the ending of the world, and the rapture to be on Saturday, two days from now. Do I think he is right?


No, but I really hope he is. Well, I know he has to be wrong because for Jesus to come back on May 21 would give this guy glory. Now, I say that, but really how much glory can this guy receive in comparison to our Lord coming out of the sky in fire? And of course scripture explicitly says that no man knows the day or hour, only God.  Even if he is right. If I knew for sure that I was going to be running into my savior's arms on Saturday, I would not be sleeping, I would be spreading the gospel to everyone I possibly could. That is convicting, why am I not doing that now anyways? Is that not how we are called to live our lives? Except maybe with a little more sleep. I suck as a follower of Christ.
