Well said. All that really matters is a personal, in the now, relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ through faith. Christ is found in the now not some future rapture day. Life is so easy when we let Jesus worry about tomorrow.

Also, you mentioned living a contented life with an attitude of gratitude. Very important!

I may be more interested than you are about end times but that is OK God does not use a cookie cutter when he makes us. Just know this, which I already know you do based on your testimony, that when things hit the fan, as I think they will IMHO know that Our Lord Jesus Christ can handle it.

He can handle it because He has ordained it. Yes, these are trying times for all.

As a Christian who is weary of this body of sin and death, this wretched flesh, I hope Mr. Camping is right. Would that it were so, that the Lord would return and right every wrong, dry every tear, and that we would begin our journey into eternity in this way.

He probably is not right, however, because most other scholars (and like it or not he is a scholar regardless of his formal credentials) are not right.

My yearning refrain will remain, "Come quickly, Lord Jesus."
