I really enjoyed the rapture

I loved the rapture for several reasons. Mostly because my Twitter friends are so witty with suggestions for #rapture play lists, little videos with rapture advice and the like. I love the way people mock things by taking them deadly seriously.

Some of my favourites on the Rapture Play List were

Chris Rea with "Road to Hell"
Beyonce with "Until the end of time"
Europe with "The Final Countdown"
Ronan Keating with "If tomorrow never comes"

I like the way Christians and Atheists play together when something like this happens.. or doesn't happen in fact.

The other thing that was good about the rapture was that spooky feeling of ooooooo but what if it does happen? (Not that I believe in the Rature.. but it didn't stop the feeling). I thought to myself that if the Rature happened I would definitely be left behind because I seriously don't believe in a god that goes around frying people.

But in a funny way I felt like I wouldn't mind so much if the end of the world was yesterday.... which confused me... why would I say that?

I managed to tease out that the reason is because I feel so at peace. I feel like I've managed to overcome some huge monsters, I feel easy with myself and easy with God, and broadly my relationships with almost everyone are good. Yes there are a couple of people that I struggle with... but even there I find I'm able to shrug and feel I can't please all the people all of the time. It is very releasing and I think this is the first time in my life that I have been in this place.

So that was good to know... plus it was sunny yesterday, and the sky was blue, and the birds were singing. Thinking about the Rapture made me realise how incredibly lucky I am and how good life can be.
