I have been around computers even before Bill Gates or Al Gore, and I've been a Christian for many years now. Someone at our church opened a facebook account for the church and wanted me to "contribute" to it. In order to do that, I needed a "facebook account". I also had it in my mind that I could use it as sort of a "ministry".

I was wary of google prior to this, and would not use their "search engine" or software in any way. I knew they were recording your keystrokes / internet selections, etc. and soon had a book on your location and primary interests (which they could market to advertixing agencies). Every computer has its own unique "address" and once they have your address they have your information. While I was on facebook, I was appalled at the things people would reveal about themselves and their families. After a while, really, nothing is hidden (and believe me it's being recorded. Just within the last couple weeks, facebook obtained "face recognition" technology. (supposedly this is to automate the "tagging" of photos on facebook, but it could be used in many other ways.) If they have you "tagged" on facebook and it goes into the "collective database", believe me, they really do have you "tagged"!!!

I'm not a "conspiracy theorist" but I am a realist. I believe there is "collaboration" between all the "social networks" and the government. There is a new NSA (national security agency) compound in Neb., or Nev. that has just recently been set up. Their "mission" is not really known.

This may come as a shock, but I also have strong "political opinions" and let them be known on various "news websites". All of a sudden, I was no longer able to post or have an account.

I'm not concerned about myself, they should know by now that I'm a "Fanatic Christian", and where I live. It's very possible that one day they might come after me. I am concerned for members of my family. I take exception to anyone "making book" or "stalking" my grandchildren.

I cancelled my facebook account earlier this year. It wasn't a "spiritual conviction" but a practical one.

All I'm suggesting is that you be very cautious what you enter on the internet. If it's something you wouldn't want everyone to know, you probably shouldn't enter it. Just Sayin ~~~

It was a chilly Saturday morning, and Beth was making her way toward the Tundra, the largest open field on her college campus. In fact, nearly all 10000 students were heading there. You see, the first large snowfall of the year had taken place overnight, and today would be the annual Snowball Fight of the Year, or SFY. People scrambled to their "sides", upperclassmen on the left and underclassmen on the right. Beth hurried to her side, finding the excitement in the air infectious. Once everyone was in place, a senior yells: "ONE, TWO, THREE, CHARGE!" At once people grab snowballs and begin lobbing them at each other. Beth laughs, lobbing one across the Tundra.

But her snowball misses its target.

In fact, her target is missing all together.

Beth stands completely still, frozen in shock, staring and the pile of clothes, boots, and gloves sitting on the ground in front of her. She even notices his glasses on the top of the pile. She snaps out of her reverie and looks around her. There were now hundreds if not thousands of little piles of clothes dotting the frozen Tundra. People were screaming, raging and crying. Beth noticed her friend Sarah sobbing uncontrollably, clutching the empty shirt of her fiancee in desperation.

Beth begins to walk in what feels like slow motion, eyes glazed over, in no particular direction. She is still in shock.

She snaps out of it when she notices people jumping into a nearby lake, screaming in rage and hysteria. At first she thinks they are looking for the missing, but soon enough she realizes they are committing suicide, unable to deal with the pain and panic they feel.

Beth turns away, unable to watch any longer. It is then the tears begin to fall, freezing to her face, her breath coming out in short gasps as she sinks to the ground. What is going on? Oh my God WHAT IS GOING ON?! Her analytical mind races, searching for some solution, but it comes up empty.

A girl collapses next to Beth, her body shaking with sobs. Beth recognizes her as one of those "churchy" girls; she hung out with all of those "bible kids", went on there little retreats and went to church on Sundays. Her name is Cassie.

Cassie turns to Beth, her eyes glistening and her chin trembling. "I know what happened."

Beth furrows her brow. "What are you talking about?"

"I know what happened just now, why those people disappeared."

Beth stares in shock, not noticing her jaw drop. "You do? How?"

Cassie drops her eyes, staring at the ground. "My friends told me about it, over and over. I pretended to agree with them, playing my part, being in the club."

"About WHAT?" Beth says, her voice rising.

Cassie pauses and looks into Beth's eyes.

"About the Rapture."
