It's The End Of The World As We Know It {and I feel fine :)}

There's been a lot of talk about

the 'rapture' happening on May 21st

{aka, tomorrow}

I feel like no matter what you think, or what your beliefs are,

it's just a little eerie to think about your last day on Earth.

It's not one of my most favorite things to talk about, I'll admit.

However, even though I know this whole rapture thing is totally a hoax,

it really does get a little freaky when you start thinking about it.

While I was out to dinner with a friend last week

she told me that she had been doing a little research on the guy causing all this mass hysteria,

Harold Camping,

and his crazy theory.

Anyway, she proceeded to tell me that on his website he provides a pre-made kit

that he recommends everyone purchases.

a 'rapture survival kit' if you will.

{oh, minor detail, the kits cost anywhere from $1,500-$2,800}

Since we're all in to saving money and DIY projects,

I thought I'd post the items in the kit for you,

so you can make your own, if you so feel the need,

or read it and laugh, because I know that's what I did.

Once I read the kooky things on his list I couldn't help but crack up...

it totally lightened up the situation and made me realize how out there he is.

So, if you'd like to feel a little more at ease, or go purchase these items to make your own kit

{hey, I won't judge}

here is the list:

• One nine-millimeter automatic pistol
• Two boxes of ammunition
• One drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills, and seven vials of holy water
• One miniature combination Aramaic phrase book and King James Bible, edited by Harold Camping
• Nine packs of sugar-free chewing gum {like really, are you kidding me?}
• One issue of prophylactics {you know, to prevent procreating}
• Three lipsticks {???}
• Three pair of nylon stockings {to go with the lipstick?!}
• List of key neo-conservative talking points, to please the Lord, provided by Fox News
• One “I Heart Unborn Babies” bumper sticker
• One foil Rapture helmet {pretty sure you could make this yourself...hummm, maybe a DIY tutorial?!}
• List of major religions, including numerous Christian denominations, to avoid and shun
• “Kill a Queer for Christ” t-shirts
• One pamphlet of phrases guaranteed to flatter Saint Peter
• One instructional brochure entitled “How to Identify the Anti-Christ,” with a photograph of Congressional Democrats on the cover

See my point?

This guys is a total wacko!

But I did have a good laugh at the kit list, so I'll at least give him that.

I hope you enjoyed it, and now feel a little more at ease.

If not, at least you have a shopping list...better get to it ;)

See you all for a new blog post TOMORROW!

{promise I'll be here}

Matthew 24:36-37 No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

This guy is super prepared, just in case though :)

{I'm thinking this is the DIY version??}
