I mailed out an #Everythingbook MAIL ART postcard to author Mary DeMuth. I’m on her Launch Team, and I’ve learned so much about community and allies in such a short time.
You’re going to love the book when it releases in October. Stay tuned for details at Mary’s place.
In reply, Mary posted:
Lisa, beautiful and very humbling. I’m not quite sure how to thank you. :) Here are some gold stars…. ******
Here it is on Pinterest (and check out the very inspirational pins done by launch team readers using quotes from the book).
Congratulations are in order for NEW ZEALAND, where it is now Sunday. You have survived the apocalypse! Well Done.
The rapture of clothed people
Sometime today, says Harold Camping–a serial End-of-the-World date setter-a massive earthquake will destroy the world. Oh, and the rapture of the saved will happen.
Instead of shredding Camping (this time), I’ll just put this out there:
If you KNEW the world would be ending tonight, would you make amends with anyone? Would you try something you’ve never tried? Would you behave like a better person? Would you give your natural desires free reign?
Most of us are not faced with these sorts of all-or-nothing life decisions. I’m reminded of the stories that came to light after the Titanic disaster. Some became unlikely heros, some reprobates. Some saved lives, and others sacrificed them for their own survival. Some died singing or playing hymns. Some died in bitterness. Some died more peacefully, accepting their fate, and trusting in God’s grace. Stress has a refining way of testing our character.
Consider your “End of the World” desires. Question them. What do they reveal about you? And how can we use this threat of apocalypse to improve ourselves, or be nobler…no matter what happens.
If we’re all here tomorrow… (ugh…whatever) I hope you weigh in with some of the strange or interesting comments you noticed relating to Camping’s dire prediction.
