Pet care after rapture?
I just saw an interesting ad on facebook. A group will care for your pets after you leave in the rapture for only $15 a month (goes up to $25 a month March 1st) for up to 3 pets.
After the Rapture Pet Care has this to say:
Dear Fellow Christian:
As the Apostle Paul describes in Thessalonians as quoted above, at some point in the future Jesus will come in the air, catch up the Church from the earth, and then return to heaven with the Church. This is known as the Rapture and it will be glorious. But what of our pets? Who will take care of our pets when we’re gone?T
their FAQs answer questions like this:
- What if the Rapture does not occur while my pet is alive?
- Who are these Volunteer Caretakers and how do I know they’ll take good care of my pets?
- Can I contact the Volunteer Caretakers in my area?
- Isn’t the world going to be totally collapsed after the Rapture?
I believe in free enterprise and applaud these people for creating a service to fill a need. I have actually thought about how to get my pet taken care of in the event I get snatched, or more likely, have a heart attack with the doors all locked.
I for one will not sign up for this service. My dog is fifteen years old and might not last much longer. My apartment complex knows I have a pet and will probably go in and get him if a friend requests it. I have several friends that are very unlikely to ask Jesus to forgive their sins and become their Lord. That makes me sad, but it does give me some comfort knowing my Buzzy will be taken care of by loving people.
If you saw Doc Hollywood and remember the character Woody Harrelson played, you might have some misgivings about this service that seems like the “earthquake insurance” he was “keen to take a crack at.”
Caveat Emptor, as always

State of the Onion
POTUS gave his State of the Onion address last night. It went something like this:
blah blah blah Bush’s fault blah blah lecture blah health care is what America wants blah blah I am arrogant and do not listen blah blah we need to drill offshore and build more nukes blah blah mare bailouts blah blah bigger government blah blah repeal DADT and let gays serve openly blah blah you people need to listen to me because I know what you need and will do it to you and your great grand children’s grand children blah blah blah.
About the only thing that surprised me was his call for offshore drilling and building more nuclear plants. We need nukes to get off the middle east oil addiction, but it will be ten to fifteen years before any new nuke plants go online. Federal regulation is the main thing responsible for the long lead time for this. The radical environmentalist fringe is also good at keeping this completely carbon free energy source form becoming reality. Not that I care about the man made climate change hoax, even though BO proclaimed it was still reality in his speech.
Offshore drilling is all well and good, but what we really need to tap into is the reserves on the coastal region of ANWR. No, not in those pretty flower filled meadows the environmentalists show in their propaganda. The part of ANWR that looks just like Prudhoe bay, which coincidentally is just a few miles down the shore, where the oil pipeline head is. By the way, the pipeline is nowhere near capacity, so any new oil would be welcome.
Another place we need to be drilling is the Bakken oil formation in North Dakota and Montana. Tapping this formation alone could make us independent of the middle east oil fields controlled by violent repressive regimes that think human rights means sharia law and believe women are simply cattle.
Except for the energy blurb he gave that will be stomped on by the enviro groups the left includes in their power base, the speech was another example of how the Progressives that have taken over the Democratic party simply refuse to listen to what Americans want: small government in Washington that does not suck the life blood from the country.
That is obviously something that has to be done by American citizens demanding candidates that truly feel their pain and believe that the federal government has to be scaled back in a massive way. A second goal that is just as important is to root out the Progressive influence in education, the courts and the media that has worked for years to change history, deny God and dumb down the populace.
Do you truly believe America can and should be great again? Pray a lot. Get involved in politics. Join the local tea party movement. Consider running for government. If you cannot run, work to elect candidates that share your values and want to fix the problem that Ronald Reagan talked about in his first inaugural address:
government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.
That is more true today than it was in 1981.

An Economy on Life Support
Our tax system is one that encourages people to lie, cheat, and steal, and it is also a way for our government to hold over our heads the threat of our freedom. If we were to go to a National Sales Tax, we could take away all the loop holes for people to cheat the system. Whenever someone made a purchase they would be paying their share of taxes. The rich would pay more because they spend more, and the poor would pay less because they would spend less. But why would the more than 400 attorneys that are presently in Congress get rid of a tax system that is so complicated you need lawyers to interpret it? They won’t. Congress likes to keep things complicated so that they are then needed to deal with the complications. You should not need a CPA to pay your taxes, but you do. Congress likes to keep everything complicated. Well there is one thing they have kept simple. Their pay raise every year. They have that arranged so that it will take effect every year without fail unless they vote for it NOT to happen. The way they have it set up is a way that allows them to say that they did NOT vote for a pay increase. The truth is every Congressman can say that he did not vote for a pay increase and yet it would still take effect.
They do not take part in the same health care system we do. They set themselves apart from the rest of us This was exemplified in the 80’s when so many of them were caught kiting checks. Something that would land you and I in jail
This sounds like I am blaming Congress. No, I am blaming you and I. Because every election cycle we each vote for the one that promises to give us the biggest piece of the pie. The truth is, there is only so much pie, and every ingredient used to make that pie comes from you and I and, unfortunately our children’s future as well.
The sad thing is that this sick economy will NEVER be well again as long as those attending to it continue to put band-aids on severed arteries. They will only slow the bleeding, but we continue to bleed nonetheless.
We need to abandon politicians and elect true leaders. Unfortunately I am not sure that can be done one congressional seat at a time. The future looks bleak, and at times I think that this house of cards just might have to totally fall apart before we can begin to build it on a solid foundation again

Two Emails
This morning I got, besides all the usual ads, two emails that caught my attention. They were both about comedians but they could not have been more different.
The first one I opened had a video of Steve Harvey in what looked like a basketball arena, a lot of people there. Steve was talking about what he would say if he had the pleasure of introducing Jesus Christ on his second coming. As he started his introduction, people were standing up and waving, obviously loving what he was saying about the king of kings. At the end the camera panned across the arena showing thousands of people that were worshiping Jesus, at the end of a secular comedy act. It was wonderful.
The next email I opened was about Kathy (D-List) Griffin giving her acceptance speech at the Emmy awards. She made quite clear that Jesus had nothing to do with her getting the Emmy and ended with “suck it Jesus! This award is my god now!” The other people on stage were laughing, obviously agreeing with her as she dissed Jesus.
I was cheered by the first video, saddened by the second. How long ago would it have been when neither event would have occurred? I may be showing my age, but in my younger days I believe that anyone saying what Ms D-List said would have been out of work, as far as entertainment goes. Nobody would stand to hear that trash. By the same token, what Steve Harvey said probably would not have been said in a venue like that simply because being a Christian was a social norm, going to church was what people did, regardless of whether they believed or not.
The world was not truly polarized as it is now. You either love Jesus or you hate him. If you do not love Jesus, you will probably do something like Kathy Griffin did to show how cool and with it you are because that is what is expected in the media today. In the email was a call to boycott her shows. I am not sure how effective that would be. I boycott her shows already because they are trashy and not worth watching.
Is this another sign of how close Jesus it is to coming back?

Avatar, James Cameron and The Lost Tomb of Jesus
We truly live in the end times. I am constantly amazed at the number of my Christian brethren who lack discernment. Daily I am bombarded by praise for the movie Avatar from those who say they love Jesus.
While I am sure the movie is superb, but please consider a few things before you support the message the movie portrays.
The movie is saturated with ritualistic worship, spirit communion, shamanism and blatant idolatry. This is nothing but nature worship with its god, Gaia. A Christian who exercises discernment would immediately avoid this. But, when it is coated in eye-candy, sort of like putting medicine in a spoonful of sugar, it makes it easy to accept, sub-consciously.
More so, today’s culture marginalizes the church from all directions, yet you see more and more Christians engaging and accepting the culture. It is just more evidence of the Laodicean Church age. Today’s culture promotes a worship of those who entertain us. These entertainers tickle our ears and our eyes, but with what?
Most of them eschew truth and reject the Creator of the universe, yet we give over our hard earned dollars to support them! Do you support your church with the same amount of money you spend to support the CULTure and its gods?
Paul wrote in Romans:
Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
While I will choose not see the movie Avatar, for some of the above reasons, there is one yet to be revealed. James Cameron made a documentary called “The Lost Tomb of Jesus.” This debunked documentary denied the resurrection of Jesus Christ! The basis of this blasphemy was on ossuary alleged to have contained the bones of a man named Joshua or Jesus. This ossuary has since been found to be a forgery.
Either you support the good news of Jesus’ shed blood for remission of sins and His resurrection to new life and the hope that brings to humanity by giving of you treasure. Or you support the cult of personality and the blatant anti-Christ message they proselytize.
It is a funny thing about mixing righteous things and unrighteous things (1 Corinthians 5:6.) A little bit of unright corrupts the whole. So how is it you would corrupt your offerings to God by your worship and offerings to the cult of culture?
Are we not choosing what we believe with our dollars?

TOTUS appears at an Elementary School
It looks as if POTUS has a security blanket. TOTUS was hauled out to provide a safety net for a speech to elementary school children.
Does anyone wonder why?
And the media calls Bush dumb!

Good: Nuclear Doomsday Clock Turned Back; Bad: Board Didn’t Factor In Iran
For those who do not know, the doomsday clock lets us know how close we are to the end of the world. It started as a measure of how close the world was to nuclear annihilation, but has since been changed to include all forms of worldwide cataclysmic disaster capable of destroying all life on Earth.
Read the article, pay attention to the list of scientists who are responsible for setting the hands on this clock. Most are atheists, some well known.
While the article takes The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists to task for excluding a nuclear Iran, it is the other exclusion that comes to my mind.
As we march toward the rapture and tribulation, the bible gives us certain signs… among them are:
- People going to and fro and knowledge shall be increased (Daniel 12:4) – we live in unprecedented times of travel and spend so much time traveling, and knowledge increases daily
- We have become lovers of self and money (2 Timothy 3:1-4) – Spa treatments, plastic surgery, every advertisement you see wants you to spend your money on you! People are arrogant and unforgiving and there is a grand lack of self-control
- Increasing deception (2 Thessalonians 2:7-12) – We are deceived constantly and daily, be the press corps, by our politicians and by our own selves.
We are witnessing the signs, those of us who have read the book and understand know. The enemy, the lawless one spoken of in 2 Thessalonians 2:8 is already at work. He knows his time is short.
In my opinion, this is just more of the deception, more of the lie. A false peace and safety… look around, people say peace and those (anti-Christ) peace signs are everywhere. Could this be what is spoken of in Thessalonians 5:1-4?
Pay attention, we are being groomed to follow a worldwide leader. That isn’t so bad, but people will want to worship this leader… and he will want and accept their worship!
