weird things are happening v.153

Here is your regular reminder that the rapture is not real and is not about to happen, and if you are still so prideful as to think you will be whisked away from sorrow and tribulation while the rest of the world is currently groaning and crying out, you are extremely delusional. You can be spared from wrath, but there's none of this hidden rapture nonsense.

Here is also your reminder to eat the cake* straight from the box first thing in the morning, because we are all going to die. Then maybe eat an orange or a banana, because you probably aren't going to die right this moment. *You never know when it might be your last chance to ever eat a piece of cake.

Cheers! 

(And I mean that. Stop worrying about the stuff that is trivial or irrelevant and get your life in order. Make amends with those you love, live peaceably with those around you, and spread your light in a dark world. Walk in the light. A little flame brightens a pitch black room.) The rapture might not be coming, but the collapse of western society certainly is. And you know, the end of the world as well, in my opinion.
