I'll just add this. I don't know if it's significant or not.
My daughter, 6, loves to learn about the Bible and we read Pilgrim's Progress and she loves reading about Jesus, Noah and Moses and Joshua...A couple of days ago she wanted to watch her tape "Creation" by Hannah Barbara (which she's watched many times) so I put it in and went out to feed the chickens. She came out quite soon after and was visibly shaken. She said she didn't want to watch that - she was nervous. She wanted to watch something else like Spongebob or Little Bear but not anything that had to do with heaven. She said she didn't want to talk about it and said she was very nervous. I said, "Well, I will just say one thing and then we can drop it - heaven is the loveliest and safest place you can be." Yes, she knew that but she didn't want to talk about it because she was nervous. Later in the day she said it wasn't heaven she was so worried about, it was the rapture. I told her that the rapture was a good thing - a wonderful thing. I didn't know if it would happen soon but if it did then all pain and suffering would be over. Later, we were sitting together on the couch and she was still nervous and thought she might be sick. So, I got a bucket and we sat back down and I said that when I was really nervous, I prayed. Jesus is always there to listen and He loves you so much. So, she shut her eyes and prayed. But the last 2 days she's been sticking to me like a tick and doesn't want me out of her sight and last night she threw up. I think maybe she's scared of either being left behind or losing track of me in the air. Scared of the unknown. Afraid of people she loves being left behind...
