What Makes for A Bad Day?

Being sick makes for anyday bad. Working with too many cooks in the kitchen only adds to the irritation. Having to use the restroom for 1 hour + definitely doesn't help. You would think pulling into a gas station would make the situation better. It was a pretty clean gas station and the locks outside the restroom doors looked very up to date. They both said vacant. I recall double checking to make sure I was about to enter the women's restroom. I open the door and lo and behold a man was wrapping up his business. Yes, a man. He apologized profusely but I was so disguested I slammed the door shut and again looked at the signs to make sure I opened the right door.

Because I used to use the facilities so badly, my first thought was just make sure you don't wet your pants. Unfortunately, he must've been smoking pot or something b/c it reeked. So much so that when I got back into the car my mom questioned me about the smell.

This is probably something more humerous, but I just had a really horrible Friday and this was the way it ended. Man, if you're going to use the wrong gender facilities, you could at least lock the door!

Rapture in Matthew 24?

As some of you may know, I'm in the midst of studying Revelation. (Notice it's not Revelations). There are lots of commentary and views on this last book of Scripture. There are a lot of theories, theology, etc. etc.... however, I am not turning to that until I finish studying through it first. I could talk for hours on the time line I've so far built, but let's get one thing out of the way:

From what I've studied, Matthew 24 is not talking about "rapture." Nor is it talking about "Christians, although it's a popular "Christian belief" that Jesus is talking to "us" and some have been so bold to claim that God has neglected His people (the Jews)... not true God has not neglected His people nor His promises." It is all about the Jews. (yes of course it is important for Christians to understand, but it's all about Jesus' message to the Jews). Furthermore, Jesus is speaking about His 2nd coming but this is after he speaks of "the end of the age." Which in the beginning of chapter 24 is not the same as Luke 21.

More to come as I discover more. My time line of events is looking pretty good. Still more questions than answers, but if I ever figure out how to post my time line, I will.

By the way, the Great Tribulation is not 7 years.

Clear as mud?
