Dear Doves:

In my September 21st letter, I gave a short description of a rapture dream
my son Daniel had last year.  Since then I have felt I should have included
the entire dream in my letter.  Below is the dream he had the night/morning?
of May 30-31, 2006, when he was seven years old.  As I mentioned in my
previous letter, Daniel had the dream the night I had prayed and asked the
Lord to give him a rapture dream to confirm to my "skeptical" husband that I
was not crazy thinking the rapture was going to happen very soon.  Since
then, my husband had our new checks printed with "Jesus is coming SOON! Are
YOU ready?" printed on them!!!

In the dream, Daniel saw Bob (his dad) walk out our patio door to go work on
our swimming pool.  As he stepped onto our deck, Bob looked up and saw a
hole in the sky starting to open.  He saw the angel Gabriel blow a shofar
(Yes, shofar not a trumpet!!!).  (At this point, Daniel told me that the
angel looked really real!!!)  Next he saw Jesus (describing him as being
really bright with his hands open wide) and heard him shout "Come Up
Here"!!!  Then the two of us (Daniel and Mom) and his two brothers came out
of the house hugging each other and joined Bob who was walking ahead of us
and we all started walking up in the air to heaven.  Daniel said he saw many
people from the neighborhood walking in the air to heaven.  When we arrived
there, he saw himself at the Christian School playground swinging on a swing
and Jesus at the gate of the playground smiling at him.

After Daniel relayed the dream to me, I became very concerned for my
daughter because he didn't mention her being in it.  He then told me that
Rachel was at a friend's house when the shofar blew so she came home really
fast in her red car and joined us in the air -- Thank God!!!

When my son said that his Dad was working on the swimming pool, I wondered
if the Lord was giving me a clue that the rapture would happen sometime in
the summer or early fall before we close the pool for the year.  Later, I
read Shelby Corbitt's dream and was surprised when I read that her family
would be swimming in their pool the day before the rapture took place.  This
year, my husband does not plan to close the pool until this weekend or later
due to the unseasonably warm weather we're experiencing in Northwest Ohio
this fall.

Also, I want to mention that before Daniel's dream, my son John (12 years
old at the time) asked me if he would be attending school in heaven.  I
asked him why he wanted to know and he said because he wants to be a
scientist when he grows up and didn't want to be behind academically when we
returned to earth with Jesus.  I told him that it was a good question and
that I didn't know.  A few days later, Daniel had the rapture dream of being
on the "playground of the Christian School" in heaven and several people
posted articles on the internet (including Jim Bramlett 6/26/06 & 6/29/06)
about how the father of modern science, Sr. Isaac Newton, was a devout
Christian man.  John and I now joke about Sr. Isaac teaching him science in
heaven.
