Dear Doves;Nicole's posting (7/28/12) brings several critical observations into the light of day. There are those of us who have had to walk through hell and the journey has left us with a clarity of who we are and where we are going.We long for the rapture for all the right reasons; To be married into the love of our Savior, The Lord Jesus Christ and be introduced to Our Father as spotless and clean and be enraptured in His love forever.Compare that 'blessed hope' to the putrid condition of a world that does not want any G-d breaking up their right to party. We have become strangers in a strange land and each day is another revelation of graft, greed, moral depravity, murder, abortion and the damnation of our own country. It's hard to take the constant bickering, grandstanding and criticism of lost, but it's a greater hardship with fellow pilgrims.The world has become a befouled nest and I know that I know, that Jesus will not wait one second longer than Father's Patience can tolerate. Thank you, Nicole!!Patrick
