Day after my Birthday

LORD, there is something with this date that bothers me. 6/6/06 is the day after my birthday .Armageddon is what it is known for, some call it the rapture, and others call it war between heaven and hell. For myself I am not sure what to take of all this. The bible has always been read to me, by several people. I have also read major parts of it myself. To really get an understanding of it, just basically common sense. Some parts are understandable while others are not. I would like to think I have lead a good life, having a family, keeping vows a sacred thing.

There are a few things I would like to bring up while I think about this letter. I have been reading the bible a lot lately because of the day after my birthday. There are a few things to discuss, so I will just get them off my chest. The bible speaks of end days and so far a lot of people are claiming a lot of the prophecies are coming true, the Mark of the beast is what is troubling me the most .The reason for this is not to long ago a hurricane went though a few places and hit them hard. They tried to tell everyone to evacuate the parts and a lot did not. After the hurricane past all hell broke loose. Men were raping children; people were killing one another, breaking into homes and businesses. Makes me wonder what the Mark of the beast is going to be like.

Lord, it troubles me that I may get into heaven, while my children, or loved ones may not. I could not imagine my life on earth or heaven without my family. Anyone from my family who should not enter the gates of heaven then I should not enter myself. I feel this way because I failed as a husband, father, brother, son, neighbor. Without my family in heaven, this I could not do for that’s how strong my love is.

Lord, I am very sorry, but I need to say this. The bible needs to be updated. Many things in the bible are so outdated. Slavery is not against your law but on earth it is. The bible speaks of you saying “What we hold true on earth, you will hold true in heaven”. Like I said I am sorry but it is true. Many things from bible need changed or updated, and I am no profit or messiah, so choose someone else.

Lord, I have a request if it is possible. I was brought up Christian so I should have been baptized, but I have not. Jesus died on the cross for our sins. He died so I could live in heaven, even though I have sinned. I would like Jesus to baptize me. Lord, Jesus died for everyone’s sins I think I can do this for him.

Lord, many things scare me about the day after my birthday, so I won’t list them all. Hopefully some how, some way, this letter will reach you, but for now all I can do is imagine.
