Did you know that the LLC has begun to offer an email service to Christians who are preparing for the Rapture.

I guess this is just in case those who want to ascend to heaven don’t notice that the signs of the rapture are upon us. You know … seeing as it could commence suddenly.

Receiving an email message stating that the Rapture is coming will give people time to say goodbye to loved ones, family and those who might be less than worthy.

The email service costs $40 a year. Christians can maintain an email list of up to 62 people who will be notified. Why a list of only 62 I don’t know. Is that a number of significance.

The website offering this service states that members can store encrypted electronic documents such as PIN numbers and powers of attorney because “There won’t be any bodies, so probate court (would) take (all) seven years (just) to clear your assets to your next of kin.”

Hmmm I guess some of the people running the website must think that they aren’t worthy and will be around to run the site and help relatives get into the accounts of those who ascended to heaven?

Just too weird if you ask me!

In early June it was reported that a legally blind mountaineer had successfully climbed Mount Hood. He made it to the top with the help of his faithful guide dog, Rasha, and his best friend, Diego Joven.

Amazingly, John Wimmer, 37, has already conquered about a half dozen mountains across the western United States.

Wimmer has a message to others, he says “Go after your dreams”. He obviously did! He lost his eyesight at the age of 5 but his spirit remained.

Wimmer and friends moved on to tackle Mount Rainier. During their trip they will document the effects of pollution, raise awareness about climate change and raise money for Unicef. You can follow their amazing journey by visiting WhatsYourImpossible.com.

A sculpture in a Norfolk gallery caused a stir among some residents in November forcing the removal of the Buddha statue. Police told staff that the figure was offensive.

The piece was called A Trilogy: The Iconoclasts and it featured the religious figure with it’s genitals comprised of a banana and eggs!

In other strange statue news:

Yorkshire residents were bemused by the appearance of 19 carved stone heads. The heads were adorned with a symbol that seemed to spell Paradox. The heads showed up in Goathland, Kilburn, Rotherham and Arthrington and they had a note attached which read “Twinkle twinkle like a star, does love blaze less from afar?”

Were these stone heads a message for a loved one? Perhaps.

Now here’s a cool idea! How many times have you been somewhere and remembered something you needed to get, or something you had to do later that day or some time during the week? When that happens you rarely write it down. You just tell yourself- ok I’ve got to remember that. You do that too don’t you?

Well now when that happens to you, you can simply dial a toll free number on your cell phone or on any regular telephone and call a toll free number and leave yourself a message. COOL huh?

This is a new service that was recently started by a company called BrainCast. Whenever you leave yourself a message you’ll get an email to remind you about the message. You can organize your messages into categories too and if you do - then when when you look them up on the Braincast site they’ll be organized. You can leave a message from just about anywhere, and because your messages are in one location online you can also retrieve your messages from any computer, cell phone or telephone. Easy and it’s free too!

This service works on all US based cell and telephone networks.
