The Wrath
Makes you wonder what the heck God is up to.
It was difficult to see the images of destruction and death on TV. I can't even imagine it if I actually had to live it.
Katrina has taken New Orleans completely. The waterfront Biloxi area is demolished. I saw pictures of the casinos I had visited, smashed, looted, buried.
I whs I could help some way other than monetarily. All we can do is pray for those poor souls who are living through this hell. Who knew that hell could be waterlogged?
I stop and think about all these natural disasters: the hurricanes here in the U.S., the tsunami last year, the earthquakes in Japan, Cali, Mexico. Really, is this just foreshadowing of the Rapture? Is God trying to eliminate as many as he can before the Big One strikes? Think about it. I do, and it scares the shit out of me. I am afraid of death, dying. I am afraid that if the Rapture happens, I will be left behind because I am such a sinful person. I believe in Jesus Christ. That much is certain. I was baptized in His name along with my husband in 1998. But, alas, I have lived such a sinful life--and I am still living it--that I am uncertain of my position in God's book. I am scared. Very.

I agree, it's very scarey, and I'm so glad I didn't have to live thru what they're living thru :(
I think you have to question your heart on what GOD wants and dislikes. He dislikes a lot of stuff we do, but he still forgives us ya know? Just because you sin, doesn't mean you're doomed to hell.

I understand your comment, and I appreciate your input.
I cannot help thinking that God has room for better souls than mine.
I still pray, and I still seek absolution. That's all I can do. I know God forgives, but I just have to get over the illusion that He doesn't think I'm good enough to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
Dang those childhood ghosts!
