Today in class we talked about the concept of tribulation. I've always chuckled a bit when this is talked about, mainly because I can remember a time when my dad played a prank on us. My parents made us watch that cheesy film, Left Behind one day, and the girls went out for ice cream or something afterwards. We came back, and my dad had laid out his clothes, watch, etc.. on the floor to look like he had been raptured. All I remember is how he could not contain his laughter as he thought this was the most hilarious prank ever, and how I just could not help but think that this was the most sadly Christian thing ever. I keep hearing about how obsessed people are with when Christ will come...who cares?! He will come today, tomorrow, or whenever he darn well pleases, so just live your life like you ought to and be happy.

This made me gasp. What's strange to me is that that is one of those Christian jokes that no one else would understand and it's really not funny. Sometime I can't find my roommmate and then when I see her unexpectedly later I say "phew! I thought the rapture happened." You're right we should live all the time as if Jesus is coming back.
