At my desk at Wycliffe Associates

I'm back at my desk at Wycliffe Associates. I would have liked to accompany the caravan. It was so comfortable to fellowship with men and women who believe (as I do) that Judgment Day--and the Rapture--is May 21st, 2011. But I don't want to force open a door (so to speak) that never opened to me. I contacted Family Radio in September expressing my desire to travel with the caravans. They wanted continuity of the message, and distinct appearance. Had I wanted to travel as a team member was a possibility. However (rightly or wrongly) I didn't want to abandon my T@B and KIA in Oakland, California (or elsewhere). I believe that God, my Heavenly Father, opened the door for me to volunteer at Wycliffe Associates!! However, I often feel like I am a stranger in a foreign land.

Remember, I am in a transient community: Volunteers are coming and going regularly. They ask "How long are you staying??" I answer "Until the Rapture." There is always a variety of remarks like "You must expect to live a l-o-n-g time." I tell them "The Holy Bible has revealed to Bible scholars that May 21st, 2011, is the Day of Judgement, and the Rapture." Several times a week, dear, precious, wonderful, good, kind, considerate, thoughtful, loving people do everything from giggle to a belly-laugh. They don't share my conviction.

I think my Heavenly Father has a sense of humor so He might say: "I never promised you a rose garden." Not one of the many hymns I often share or a well-written poem; a secular song. So (as long as I am welcome) I will follow the schedule of events in this Wycliffe idyllic setting--and contribute God-given clerical skills.

FYI: I did not use volunteer time to write and publish this blog; it was prepared on Sunday evening, in my tiny T@B!!
