Brothers and Sisters;

As we approach the 100th Anniversary of the Titanic tragedy I am reminded
that many have seen similitudes and foreshadowings to the Rapture of the
Church.

And so, in the interest of stimulating prayer, thought and conversation at
this time, in light of the many things that have recently happened and our
view of the season we find ourselves in, I give you the times and dates
surrounding this event from the following website:
http://www.webtitanic.net/frametimes.html

I just cant get around the fact that April 15th was the date of the sinking
but it struck the iceberg on the 14th. This same pattern is seen in Abraham
Lincoln's death. He died on April 15th but was shot the night before.

I also see that Titanic arrives at 11:30 AM and departs at 1:30 PM from
Queenstown on April 11th. Hmmm. I could go on. May God continue to show us
the way and give us comfort in these times. Here are the dates and times:
