Ya mess with my Bud and I'll give YOU the weird eye!

Harold Camping emerged from his Alameda, California home yesterday to face reporters for the first time since the Rapture that never happened. Wearing a light jacket and speaking over chirping birds, Camping told the San Francisco Chronicle he was "flabbergasted" that the world did not end on Saturday. "I'm looking for answers," he told the reporter. "But now I have nothing else to say. I'll be back to work Monday and will say more then." Camping followers are similarly perplexed. "I don't think I am going to stop listening to him," one man added, heaving a deep sigh before continuing: "I don't know, I gotta listen to him on Monday, see what he says on the radio.
"Somewhat bewildered" and "mystified is how Camping's wife described her husband, before he finally emerged from his home yesterday afternoon. The International Business Times managed to capture Camping on camera, refusing to surrender any more than a few words and promising. "Give me a day, no interviews at all today -- sorry," Camping said. "You know this is a big deal, big deal, and I've got to live with it and I've got to think it out. So no interview please."
Camping's relative silence since Saturday's anti-climactic continuation of life on Earth weighs heavy on his followers' confidence. Robert Fitzpatrick, the 60 year-old retired New York transit worker who spent $140,000 on billboards for the coming apocalypse, responded with bewilderment as well. "I can't tell you what I feel right now," he told a crowd of reporters and tourists in Times Square Saturday evening. "I haven't understood it correctly because I'm still here."
At least one person may benefit from Camping's failure.
As we pointed out last week, author and would-be Doomsday prophet Tim Lahaye is next in line

Is that ol’ Joe?
Actually a death mask sculpture done by Elbert Porter. Elsie put the eyes in to give it weirdness.
Hold that thought...
At least not this past weekend.
But, oh, yeah....He's coming back.
That's because GMT hadn't been invented yet!
That are are TWO days on Earth at the present time. It's 9:33 PM Monday here in central Indiana, and 4:33 AM Tuesday in Beirut right now. There are MORE than 24 times zones around the globe.
So if someone 'predicted' something, most folks would miss it, if their clock is set local time.
(You'll note that Jesus did NOT say the YEAR or the SEASON would not be known.)
Actually though; if it's summer here, then it's winter in Rio de Janerio.
And whose YEAR will we use?
Chinese? Christian civilizations? MAYAN? <--- OOPS forget THIS one!! ;^)
Welcome to EARTH!
Actually, I'm more reminded of Groundhog Day.
John 15:11
I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.
They have an unexplained spiritual hunger.
Sure; the 'press' was using this story to MOCK Christianity, but I can almost guarantee you that folks who had NO interest at all in the subject will be curiously drawn to the Bible.
Dang!
You beat ME to it!
Yes; this IS true.
But for me and my house; I will choose the JOY!
There goes that Lion laying down with the Lamb thingy!
Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
HA!
The sucker was PLENTY weird without MY help!
Ya mess with my Bud and I'll give YOU the weird eye!
REad his collar: Bad to the Bone!
Why was John the Baptist beheaded?
Again as stated in my post, we are to be joy filled and this is produced not by circumstances but rather out of a heart of gratitude, happy is completed based on current circumstance. Again God’s primary goal for his children is not to make us “happy” but to make us Christ like. That is scriptural. I do not believe that should make our faces sour but rather it should cause us to rejoice in His amazing Grace! Blessings.

I think you confuse joy and happy. As a mother my primary goal is not to make my children “happy” but to love, teach, guide them to adulthood. If I tried to make them “happy”, they would be not much good as adults but rather spoiled children.
