Thank you for your loving comments on my query about having hope.

Zelma, I read Ephesians l, as you suggested.  It certainly says I am a
child of God and should have hope.  I am having some difficulty,
probably, due not only to circumstances worsening, but because of
physical effects of my "brain scars", which are like MS.  Actually I
once had an MS diagnosis, and maybe I still have it, in addition to
Porphyria--I am a mystery.

Like you, I am not certain that the Rapture will come to me before the
Lord takes me in another way, i.e., death.
How good it would be, in any case, to be with Him.  But I do hope for
the Rapture.  So many who comment on it say we are "cowards" to think

we need to escape the Trib.  Well, most of us feel we have already been
in the Trib for a long time, I'm sure.  We feel we hardly have one more
step in us along this path, and our arms are raised to Papa, asking to
come home.  I talked to a devout but honest woman at my congregation
last Saturday, and she said she would not have the courage to defy
anti-christ.  I feel the same way.  I have only courage enough for one
more step.
I need to come home.

Everyone on this site needs to come home, that seems to be evident.
And I feel "at home" with you on this site.

And thanks, dear Goodricks, for your encouragement and scripture
readings.  I hope Jim is recuperating well!

And the others who cheered me on to have hope I wrote to personally
because they included their addresses.  Thank you, dear Doves!

I was looking for yesterday's posts, and somehow got into August 2006,
a year ago.  I am not nerdly on the computer.
And there was a beautiful dove shown in the Upper Room.  What a lovely
picture that was.

I hope everyone looked at not only the Red Square Nebula but also the
other nebula linked to it in one of Kay's links on this subject.  That
is, nebula l987A.  It is as wonderful as Red Square.  The Papa who
could do this could do anything.
