“Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, watch.” (Mk. 13:35-37)

The time of the rapture is at hand. The signs described in the Bible that foreshadow the return of Jesus Christ are becoming all too clear. Not all who live during coming Great Tribulation will be spirited away to be with God. The Bible tells us that only those who repent of their sins and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ may enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

Do you know someone who is in danger of being “left behind” because of a sinful life? Imagine if you could write a letter to a friend or loved one after the Great Day of Reckoning. Maybe a message to your family telling them to trust in God, and that everything will be okay. Perhaps you would leave instructions to care for your pets after your departure. It could be that your message is the light that opens a sinner’s eyes to the Glory of God and allows them entrance to Heaven during the trials before the Second Coming. This is where the Post-Rapture Post comes in.

Just write your letter and it will be hand-delivered immediately following the exodus of the pure from the Earth. But you must be thinking to yourself, “How can the letters be delivered after the Rapture?” The answer is simple. The creators of this site are Atheists. That’s right, we don’t believe in God. How else would we be able to deliver your correspondence after the Rapture?

Nothing to do with Japan. But I think they are onto a winner. Go on lads, make a million!

How much wood would a … a peacock?

A peacock? How much for a peacock!

Was having a bit of a troll around Yahoo auction to see what I could see when I stumbled upon this beauty. The asking price - a mere 6,000,000 yen. Admitedly, no one has yet to bid on the bird, but that 6 million yen works out to a mind wibbling US$51.689.86. That is enough money to buy a lot of bird feed I would wager.

Carved from a single piece of wood one would imagine that a great deal of time and perspiration went into its creation. Still it doesn’t really speak to me as a work of art. That line is such a fine and fuzzy thing. The swords that my friend Pierre is into, and learning to make, I can see as beautiful, even if I don’t understand them that deeply and am not drawn to them as strongly as he is.

Sometimes watching Japanese television can be revealing. Television as the expression of the dreams and aspirations of a populus. Television as a mirror to the (shopping) soul of a nation. Recently we saw a program which took us around the homes of some of Japan’s ‘other’ half. One image that stuck in my mind - that of the President of a construction company talking about the ‘gorgeous’ house he lived in as he stood on a polar bear rug. Some things are common throughout humanity in all its flavors - and bad taste is one of them.

If it rocks your boat then you can check out the auction here; it closes in 3 days so you will have to move quickly!
