Since I was raised as a Catholic, there was a lot of, "That's a sin!" "That's a mortal sin!" "That's only a venial sin!" but nuttin' 'bout no rapture. Is that in the Bible somewhere? (I'm being serious. I've seen too many Simpsons' episodes that deal with it, but I don't really get it!) Where do they get the idea the earth is 6000 yrs old?

Catherine, you'll have to ask a religious person here (and I ain't one). Funny thing is, back when I *tried* to be a religious person (when I was about 16) and was hanging out with Catholics, it was they who clued me in on the Rapture. But then a lot of them were heading toward being Pentacostal, so who knows? Anyhoo, I think the whole thing can be found in Revelations somewhere, but again ... you'll have to ask a religious person (and I ain't one).

If anyone else missed digest #182, it's at: http://www.smoe.org/lists/joni/v2006.n182 It seems like I'm missing about one per week lately. Is this happening to anyone else? Jim PS, this is an old one. It's so old, I first heard Howey Mandel tell it... When he had hair. "Two guys walk into a bar...

"I'm always running behind the times" in digest reading yet again -- don't you HATE that? I'm just popping in to share an email I received today. I had written to a friend about the armload of bright balloons I bought for Michael's graduation. Ray knows some Joni, but he needs a lot more jonifying, imo. Look at this, though (pasted below)....he's coming along! I thought the lyrics he sent were worth sharing. There's even some German here for Moni! Liebe grusse, Patti P., who firmly believes that if more Americans learned about other languages and cultures, it would help the cause (which, of course, is world peace). Voila: >Last evening I came home with "an >armload of bright balloons" What, no "Love or Money"? I made a different (anti-war, even ) connection with balloons. Here's one for you, and I'll give you the lyrics, too. There was an American version (not quite a translation), "99 Red Balloons", but the imagery isn't as powerful. 99 Luftballons (1983) ===================== Hast Du etwas Zeit fu"r mich Dann singe ich ein Lied fuer Dich Von 99 Luftballons Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont Denkst du vielleicht grad' an mich Dann singe ich ein Lied fuer Dich Von 99 Luftballons Und dass sowas von sowas kommt 99 Luftballons Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont Hielt man fuer UFOs aus dem All Darum schickte ein General Eine Fliegerstaffel hinterher Alarm zu geben, wenn es so war Dabei war da am Horizont Nur 99 Luftballons 99 Duesenjaeger Jeder war ein grosser Krieger Hielten sich fuer Captain Kirk Das gab ein grosses Feuerwerk Die Nachbarn haben nichts gerafft Und fuehlten sich gleich angemacht Dabei schoss man am Horizont Auf 99 Luftballons 99 Kriegsminister Streichholz und Benzinkanister Hielten sich fuer schlaue Leute Witterten schon fette Beute Riefen: Kring und wollten Macht Mann, wer hatte das gedacht Dass es einmal soweit kommt Wegen 99 Luftballons 99 Jahre Krieg Liessen keine Platz fuer Sieger Kriegsminister gibt es nicht mehr Und auch keine Duesenflieger Heute zieh ich meine Runden Seh die Welt in Truemmern liegen Hab'nen Luftballon gefunden Denk' an Dich und lass'ihn fliegen 99 Red Balloons (1984) ====================== You and I in a little toy shop Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got. Set them free at the break of dawn 'Til one by one, they were gone. Back at base, bugs in the software Flash the message, Something's out there. Floating in the summer sky. 99 red balloons go by. 99 red balloons. floating in the summer sky. Panic bells, it's red alert. There's something here from somewhere else. The war machine springs to life. Opens up one eager eye. Focusing it on the sky. Where 99 red balloons go by. 99 Decision Street. 99 ministers meet. To worry, worry, super-scurry. Call the troops out in a hurry. This is what we've waited for. This is it boys, this is war. The president is on the line As 99 red balloons go by. 99 Knights of the air Ride super-high-tech jet fighters Everyone's a superhero. Everyone's a Captain Kirk. With orders to identify. To clarify and classify. Scramble in the summer sky. As 99 red balloons go by. 99 dreams I have had. In every one a red balloon. It's all over and I'm standing pretty. In this dust that was a city. If I could find a souvenir. Just to prove the world was here. And here is a red balloon I think of you and let it go. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 May 2006 00:26:27 -0400 From: "Cassy" Subject: Re: Springsteen again, njc Let's see: Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J.
