The Lord Isn't Required To Schedule An Appointment

Lord Jesus 

As you know....for this blessing is from you....
        our son Kyle has a full football scholarship....
        at an SEC school....GO DOGS!
        and you have also blessed us with a beautiful daughter....
        whose wedding is planned for next year....
        and we need every minute of this year to prepare for it....
        so yes Lord Jesus....come....just not right now.

I know that America has strayed far from you...
        but that's really the Democrats Lord...
        I was just talking to the pastor the other day...
        at the pot luck after the service....before the game
        and he says that we are going to get the House back....
        and then we are going to throw Hunter Biden in Jail...

They're making us wear masks Lord....
        just like they put a crown of thorns on your head!
        our wonderful freedoms are being taken away....
        bless Donald Trump Lord....and Ron DeSantis....
            and Matt Gaetz...and Marjorie Taylor....I can't remember her last name....
                and the My Pillow Guy.

May I ask one more thing Lord....
        when you do come....
        can you call first...and leave a message
        to see if we are home....
        what with Bible studies and pickle ball and all
        a grandkid on the way....
        it's going to be a busy decade or so.

So all praise to you Lord....
        Come Lord Jesus....
        With all your mighty angels....
        In Power and glory....
        And righteous judgment....(on the Democrats)....
        Just not right now.

Just one last very personal request Lord...
        just in case Billy Graham was right
        and you are indeed coming real soon....
        could you possibly schedule the rapture....
        in early April.....
        just after March Madness if possible
        so I don't have to break my back...
        unnecessarily spreading all that mulch....
        and fertilizer?

        (I missed the first week of last year's
        church golf league because of it....
        because I couldn't bend over to putt)

I realize that the above is a rough post. It's from 2022 and I keep it in my humor posts....but it should bring tears more than anything else.

          We do have a busy year planned. Today is Super Tuesday....not to be confused with Super Sunday. Fifteen Republican primaries are being held....with the convention in July in Milwaukee....and the general election in early November.
          Next Lord's Day....not this Lord's Day....is the Academy Awards. 
March Madness begins on the 19th. Major League Baseball starts early this year....the day after March Madness....with a couple of games in South Korea. The Masters starts on April 11...with the Stanley Cup and NBA playoffs just a few weeks later. How are we going to fit in six other majors....three tennis and three golf? Steeler training camp and college football start in August! 
           The big event this year will be the Summer Olympics....in Paris....exactly 100 years after the 1924 Paris Summer Olympics where Eric Liddell refused to run on the Lord's Day....which led to the film Chariots Of Fire....and the Oscar for Best Picture.
           
No....this is definitely not an optimum year for evangelicals for the tribulation....or is it? To me it seems just like what God's prophetic word says it will be like....will the Son of Man find faith on the earth when He returns? We've got enough oil for a tiki torch but none for our lamps. Delusion is everywhere....along with false prophets....the chief of whom evangelicalism fell for hook, line and sinker.
