The rapture was cool, and look we all ended up together. How neat was that?
Perhaps the reason things don't feel much different is that Dr. Pangloss was right, ours is the best of all possible worlds. Heaven on earth and all that. However, I am powerful disappointed. I held out so much hope. I wanted to wake to a new beginning, just as Moses did when he climbed out of the Ark, or Orel Roberts, the day after he wasn't called back for failing to raise his ransom.
So how do we pick up the pieces of our truncated lives? I beginning to think telling the kids mom and dad would be raptured and they wouldn't may prove to have been a mistake. The youngest phoned Child Protective Services seeking asylum. Quitting work and giving away our stuff, may come to haunt, and I may soon wish I had paid the bills, or hedged my bets and kept the house and cash. Any more Kool-ade?
My faith has only strengthened. I like it here. Hell no I won't go.

Happy to be here with you Sir! The inlaws may come for lunch tomorrow, and if its not too muddy I'll get some more boxwoods in the ground and maybe shop for a few more shrubs. Life is good, and goes on.
I spent much of the morn trimming our boxwoods (thanks Dominique). People either love or hate box, there is no middle ground. I love ours, and wish it on everyone.
Bill tells me the man who perpetrated this idea is now something like $73 million richer for it...on the tax advantages of a non-profit org and on public TV? I've not read any of it, but if he's got that right, it's a bit disgusting, really. However, from the first time I was a Christian-symbol-fish displayed on a car sales road sign I worked out that religion could be made to pay...
Shelley; there is a local televangelist with a wide international following. Our daily paper, when writing about her, describes her as an astute businesswoman who knows how to reduce taxes.
I like it here as well...earthquakes and brimstone rain or no. As an aside, what issues have you had with your Quoddy boat shoes? I noticed your comment over at ADG's blog.
Cocktails anyone?
T I found them incredibly poorly constructed. After wearing similar Sperry and Bean's w/o problems for 40 years, i have simply no excuse to switch.
That's a damned shame. I was hoping that with popularity the Shorey's product wouldn't lose quality, but I guess they're not impervious to that particular curve.
I own a pair of their unlined Bluchers that started to have issues with the stitching coming unraveled in under a year, but then I was wearing them practically daily. I own a pair of their lined boat shoes and they seem to be bomb-proof.
They're definitely better than they were when the company was owned by Wolverine, at any rate.
What was Moses doing in Noah's Ark?
2 different boats, same brand. BTW Moses named his "The Covenant"
