I, too, have had the urge to downsize this year.  We just have too much stuff.  Why did I ever want to collect carousel horses?  Miniature houses?  What earthly good is this stuff anyway?
 
My husband and I recently bought a home but I don't feel particularly attached to it or really to anything at this point.  I enjoy my home.  I love planting flowers and building a fence for the dog, etc.  But I feel it is only temporary.
 
Something strange, however, is my compulsion to purchase extra food.  I find myself buying extra soup and canned goods, stuff that will keep.
 
Something is definitely in the air.  I see scriptural prophecy coming to pass as I watch the news and check the internet.
 
I first became really aware of the End Times in June, 1967.  I listened with rapt attention to the news of the war in Israel on the radio.  I remember it vividly.
 
Then in Spring of 1971, I was in a class that studied Revelation.  Before that, I had not really studied that part of the Bible.  I had been taught that it was aprocryphal and could not be understood.  I don't remember hearing sermons about it while I was growing up.  In 1971, I began to hear sermons about the End Times and on Revelation.  This was at Rehoboth Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia.
 
My family thinks I obsess and that I am too "worried" about the End Times.  Actually, I feel at peace and relatively free from stress when I think about the Rapture and leaving this place of wrath and tears behind.  I have a good life.  I have a beautiful Christian family.  We will all be going together.  I feel blessed.
 
I am a daily lurker around the Five Doves.  I am studying some sermons from John Barnett of Tulsa, Oklahoma (http://discoverthebook.org/sermons) on Revelation.
