God has a sense of humor!

So, yesterday I spent the afternoon playing tennis (which I love doing!) and came back to a Disney movie marathon with other people in the hall! I absolutely love Disney movies so that event was perfect for me! Well, yesterday was also supposed to be the beginning of the rapture according to Harold Camping at about 6 PM. Well, as my brother likes to say, I'm living in the future, and when 6 PM came here, I guess God decided that He wanted to play a little joke on everyone in Australia. We were all in the middle of watching Beauty and the Beast when about 2 minutes til 6 it started lightning. Now, this is the first thunderstorm that Adelaide has had since I've been here. I do NOT enjoy thunderstorms in the least bit. I love rain, but thunder, lightning, and wind have always terrified me. So, when I saw that lightning, I was trying really hard to just focus on the movie. Disney movies are a lot more fun than thunderstorms. Well, with the first lightning strike, every single person in the room ran outside or to a window. I was the ONLY person still sitting in my seat. As you can guess, I was a little bewildered. So, I asked the people who were gathered around the window what in the world they were all doing. They then responded with, "Maybe the world really is going to end!" When they said that, I literally could not help myself from laughing. As they were thinking that the world possibly was going to end, I had a picture in my mind of God whispering to Jesus, "Watch this!" and when He sent the lightning and everyone went running, I could just see both of them getting a good laugh.

Now, I definitely do not think that Jesus' returning should be anything to joke about or make fun of. For all Christians, we should be rejoicing in the thought that He will return someday and should be mourning for those who do not know Him. However, I do think God enjoys a good laugh every now and then. :) Come on, He created all of us, so what creator doesn't like to play with their creations sometimes?
