I've been reading the reports of people who screwed themselve over thinking they wouldn't be here today. People who blew all their savings and accrued thousands in debt trying to fulfill their bucket list and give their kids a "last vacation." Now, they're still here with credit cards maxed out and don't know what to do. What broke my heart are the ones who EUTHANIZED THEIR PETS because they didn't want their dogs/cats left here alone after they were taken up. I'm not sure how many poor animals died because of this madness but hearing about it period was too much for me.

THANK YOU. I'm not afraid of facing "the end." Eternal paradise or being trapped down here with pain, hurt, and stupid people? Didn't even pack a bag, I'm ready to go as is. Please and thank you.

Has anyone seen/read the boy Heaven is for Real? I saw it in Target yesterday and it looked interesting. It's about a 4yo who went into emergency surgery and, when he woke up, he told his parents about how he'd left his body and went to heaven for awhile. He apparently described heaven as it's described in the Bible even though he's never read that descrip, described what his parents were doing during his surgery, etc. It looked like an interesting, "a child shall lead them" kinda read: http://www.amazon.com/Heaven-Real-Li...6125026&sr=8-1.

I've heard of the book and the background story buuuuuttttt I don't know if I necessarily believe it (I do believe in an afterlife, a higher power, out of body experiences/near death experiences though). I mean, the kids father is a pastor and 4 year olds are not only very impressionable but they pick up on a lot more things than us adults give them credit for. The story reminds me of people who claim to have been victims of demonic possession. 99% of the possessed are devout to fanatical Christians. You never hear of atheists or buddhists or Easter/Christmas christians getting possessed.

We went to the grocery store yesterday, and we just happened to be out of almost everything - we've both been really busy these past few weeks and hadn't had time to sit down and make a list...so after being teased about the huge cartload of food we bought, my husband said we should have told them that we decided that since the world didn't end, it was finally time to go shopping. It was actually pretty funny, because that's not usually the kind of humor I hear from my husband.

Another really good book about a Near Death Experience is "Embraced by the Light" by Betty Eadie.
