"Am I really a big fruit cake?"


Dear Doves,
  Seems to me like Jesus will be returning for us in September of this year. Too many people are having the same story. With that in mind, I went to church, and you know what? We had a great sermon on ---teenagers!  I thought -- now this is totally weird. All this about Jesus coming back in September of this year at the Feasts of Trumpets or at some point in September, and you'd think that this would be a major news event and the Church would be on fire sending this out to everyone ( Last Chance -- This is it!) type of message. Nope didn't get that at all. I go to a pretty heavy duty Holy Ghost church and I left wondering: Is it just me? Why isn't every preacher in America, TV and Radio preacher putting this final message forth? Can it really be true that the pastors that I admire so much are not on target? I heard that there was a big pastors conferance somewhere last week, and I thought, "God? Why didn't You tell them so they could tell us?" I don't understand it. We just received our church agenda for the next few weeks, focusing on our familes, and relationships -- but I just think -- hey, well, if Jesus is coming back, shouldn't we be doing the "Get Ready, Get Saved" Messages? ( I am wondering if it is just me thinking this). I was telling my Dad that it looked like Jesus was going to come back sometime in September, and he wanted to know "well, why am I not hearing that?" He's a great Dad, so I know he's saying "well, if that is so,
 I would think that all the people that spend so much time with God -- would know -- right?
I didn't know what to say other than -- "Well, when Jesus was born, only 3 wise men knew and then God revealed it to the shepards -- and it was the religious folks that missed out on that, you know? I told him about Anna and Simon in the temple and how those 2 -- knew the Saviour -- but everyone else just "marveled about it." ( Not a good explanation, but I dont' know why the church isn't saying anything.)
Oh well, your thoughts and sympathies are needed! I feel like a big gigantic fruit cake!
Do you realize that I am going to buy signs and post them up over our city saying
"Jesus is Coming!" Get your Heart Right with Him! Dont' miss the Rapture! -- because I believe that He is coming for us in September this year. And, well I feel stupid because the Church isn't really backing this type of message up -- anywhere it seems.
What's up with this? ) What I really want to know is,  -- am I really a big fruit cake??? If I wake up with raisins in my hair, I am going to be very worried! What do you guys think?
Thanks,
Elizabeth
