I just read about this service that will shoot your cremated remains into space. There are four options. You can be shot into lower Earth orbit, upper Earth orbit, to the Moon, or into deep space. The Earth orbit options will eventually return you back to the Earth and you'll burn up (again) on re-entry in a couple hundred years or so. So most people would probably say, "who really cares?". But I just keep thinking that this is crazy! I keep thinking in context to the resurrection. Both the righteous and the unrighteous will be resurrected. So do these people all of a sudden appear with a body in deep space, or do they supernaturally get transported back to Earth? And then I think about all the people who get cremated and have their ashes thrown into the ocean. Will a bunch of people just start rising from the water at the beach? Sounds creepy. What if you had your organs donated? Would a person just burst out of someone else's body? Will the resurrected bodies have clothes? Well, I guess it doesn't really matter because God is in control over all these things and no one will be missed. Every soul will be accounted for. I still can't help wondering how though. Well, I'll just categorize that with "What kind of stuff does God laugh out loud about?".

Anyways, I was reading End Times prophecy yesterday after making my comments about the AntiChrist. Alot of people think the Second Coming will be our generation. It is an interesting thing to ponder. I bet the Christians during WWII thought Hitler was the AntiChrist. He was a charismatic speaker that came out of Europe. He was probably possessed by Satan himself too. Scary. Anyways, it's interesting to read people's theories, but ultimately we don't need to analyze our current events for this. Evangelizing the lost is more important than waiting for Christ to return. Christ will come regardless, we should be busy when he does. But it is exciting to think that He could come back in my generation. The Bible says that once the signs start, this generation will not pass away until they have all come to pass. I once made a movie called Signs of the Apocalypse. It had nothing to do with Scripture though. It was actually made to spoof those Fox TV specials like Alien Autopsy and Nostradamus Prophecies, etc. We showed it after Bible study. The funny thing was the teaching that day was about the signs of the End Times and to be ready. Our Bible study shepherd had no idea what our movie was about, ha ha. So before we showed it, I had to preface it with a disclaimer saying it wasn't a spoof of the Bible.

Well, I sold my tickets to Phantom so it looks like I'm going to Foundation tonight afterall. So we'll see what that Wendy's girl is saying to me.
