Dear MathMan

your post

http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/apr2012/mathman426.htm

was quite a nice surprise for me! 

There are several reasons for my silence:

1) Beginning of March, I started a new job as programmer in a new
company. I have to get up early in the morning and in the office I
have nearly no time during work to visit fivedoves or similar sites.
In best case I can go to the toilet about 15min per day and use my
android phone to 'scan' the daily headlines and read one or 2 posts.
At home in the evening, my wife and 3 boys are waiting and deserve my
full interest. Only after that I really have time to spend with the
Lord, and I usually prefer reading one or two chapters in the Bible
before I eventually go online. But in most cases, I am just really
tired and go to sleep.

2) I was and still am a firm believer in Ron Reeses 2008 - 2015
timeline. But April 11th did not fulfill my personal expectations and
I have to admit that I am a bit confused. Fact is, I don't understand
what's going on and where we really are on the timeline. Is the Lord
just tarrying as he said? I decided to simply keep on waiting until
after Pentecost. Pentecost is (every year) equally interesting as
Feast of Trumpets, regardless of a specific timeline. I even installed
an android app to count the omer correctly every day! 

3) I love fivedoves and nowhere else have I gained more understanding
in the word of God than on this website. I also love your comparison
that it is like a box of pralines - you never really know what you get
when you pick the next post! HAH! That's really what it is. However,
chocolate is a bit addictive and too much chocolate (without supply of
other healthy food with vitamines etc.) is not healthy. So that's why
I decided that I need a little rest and more self-discipline and that
my limited time is best spent on praying, reading the Bible directly
or doing other (practical) things in my local environment for the
kingdom of God.

In any case Jesus (and not the rapture) is my blessed hope and I am
loving him and waiting for him together with all fellow doves every
single day and I pray to be considered worthy (Luke 21:11!) to escape
all the things that will come to pass! Abba father, please have mercy
on us all and please help us to be ready to stand before your son, the
son of man!

Watch & Pray!
Maranatha!
YBIC, Josua
