Small Graduating Class in the Clouds

I have a sister who is two years older than me, and all through school she had a well-earned reputation for being one of the wild ones. She didn't study much, got poor grades, had a penchant for the bad boys, and seemed to cause a lot of headaches for her teachers (not to mention her parents).

But then along would come little Greg two years later, and when those same teachers would recognize my last name and realize I was her younger brother, they were inclined to groan and mutter...

"Oh no...not another one!"

NOV '15: Boiling Water
When Christians go a little nuts looking forward to the Rapture, I often imagine Jesus thinking, "What part of 'wait' is confusing to you?"

Boiling Water

Fishers of Men divider

Kettle on stove

I have written on the topic of the Rapture several times in the past, but there is one aspect of this doctrine that seems to be affecting an increasing number of Christians these days, especially those who, like me, hold to a pre-tribulational view of its timing. A fairly trivial event sparked something in my spirit not long ago, and it finally compelled me to address this issue.

A few months ago I was reading a Christian blog that I visit occasionally, and the author had posted a short piece about something of prophetic significance that had occurred a few days prior. I don't remember what the event was, but I do recall that it wasn't something terribly earth shattering. Noteworthy, yes. Earth shattering, no. I mean, it wasn't as if the Israelis had just bulldozed the Dome of the Rock or something. It was just some prophetic trend that had advanced a step, and so it was just another in a seemingly endless torrent of events that serve to remind prophetically knowledgeable believers that we are indeed getting close to the Rapture. Frankly, however, it's getting to the point where such things happen on a weekly—if not daily—basis.

7/28/2026 — From the "Payback" Department...

I admit that it's fun to watch the Democrats sow fear of voter fraud in regard to the midterms. I mean, if anyone has experience when it comes to things related to voter fraud, it is certainly the Democrats.

Now liberal media clown show MSNOW is pushing the narrative (read: fantasy) that Trump is going to try to steal the midterms, didn't ya know. And the Democrats are taking it seriously...so seriously they are trying to develop "strategies" to thwart such fraud.

Oh, and then just a few minutes later, the MSNOW host spoke with another guest and casually dismissed as "statistically insignificant" the real Democrat voter fraud that was recently uncovered in New Jersey, where it was found that 4,000 illegal immigrants were registered to vote and that many of them had actually voted. Of course, this is most likely a "statistically insignificant" drop (in the proverbial bucket) according to the MNSNOW talking heads—scarcely worth mentioning. A little mix-up.

"No no no...Trump's the one we have to worry about when it comes to voter fraud!!!"

...goes the liberal media. It never changes.

I know it probably wouldn't change much, but one thing I would love to see is Trump make good on his promise to expose the mountains of provable fraud that stole the 2020 election from him. And I do mean mountains. Much of it is stuff I read about back in early 2021 in the first few months after the election, but of course anyone who so much as acknowledged the existence of the fraud was viciously attacked from every conceivable angle until they shut up and/or went to prison.

And a few did.

So if nothing else, it would please me to no end to see the 2020 fraud exposed big time, and perhaps even some major and well-deserved payback for certain Democratic figures.

Maybe even a few well-deserved prison terms.
