Sanctuary for the Left Behind

I tell on myself quite a bit, especially if it's good for a laugh.  I like laughter and like to make people laugh!  So I'm going to tell on myself here.  But let's keep a little tongue in cheek....

Here Goes....I hope you laugh....

I think Barack Obama is the Anti-Christ.  Call me what you will, but I've read the "Left Behind" series, and I find our current president  to resemble the anti-Christ in oh so many ways.   I know, I know, the "Left Behind" series is fiction, based on the prophecy of Revelations.  I'm a logical person, I understand fiction.  I'm not totally insane.  Ok?  But still, reading that series, reading Revelation and witnessing what is currently going on in our world....it really makes you wonder!!!


Months ago, as I was driving to my dear friends house, I noticed a sign in one her of neighbor's yard. 

It read:  SANCTUARY FOR THE LEFT BEHIND.

My heart leapt a little.  I thought....I have a place to go if the Rapture really does occur.  'Cuz I sure know I'm not going to be taken.  I'm not that good!!  I'm going to be a God Warrior, left behind to fight the fight, pay my dues.  But now....I have a safe haven--The Sanctuary for the Left Behind--the place to meet up with other God Warriors.  Rally!!  I felt oddly comforted.

I passed the sign many times--Sanctuary for the Left Behind--and always felt that odd comfort!  The safe place....my sanctuary!!  Finally, one day, I mentioned to my dear friend that it was kinda nice for her to have the Sanctuary so close. She was puzzled.  The Sanctuary?  I told her about the sign in the neighbors yard, surely she had seen it--Sanctuary for the Left Behind.

She laughed and laughed,  and then laughed some more, almost to my offense, until she was finally able to tell me-- the place was actually a shelter for dogs of GI's who were sent overseas--for dogs who were left behind.    Ohhhhh........uh.........DUH!!!!!  I felt like an idiot! 

Naturally I share this story with my mother.  I want to remind her of what an intelligent woman she's raised!  ;-)  We have a good laugh.  I then lament about how.....now...... I no longer have my rapturous haven.  Where would I go now?  My mother, with her infinite wisdom, always able to cheer my soul, assured me I could still go to the Sanctuary for the Left Behind.......because I was.....after all......... a bitch.

 I love my Mom!!
