Date is Set for Christ's Return

Just in case you hadn't heard, Jesus is coming back . . . . on May 21, 2011. Be sure to mark your calendars.

My favorite part of the story: The article begins with, There are 24 shopping days left till Christmas. And 171 days left until Jesus' second coming. I looked through the comments section for this story. Here are some of the more interesting lines:

What? Jesus is coming back right after graduation? I'm SO done working!

Where are we going? And why are we in this hand basket?

Dangit! That's my dog's birthday. I'm totally going to have to change the theme for her party!

Does this guy also predict winning lottery numbers?

Isn't this strange? What do you think? Is it all a publicity and marketing campaign? Or do you think the people making this prediction are sincere?

The Tennessean's Front-Page Story

In case you missed it, here's the article about the Churches of Christ that appeared on the front page of the Nashville Tennessean last Sunday. Title: "Churches of Christ drop isolationist view, work with other faiths."

Maybe a bit behind the times. And the title should have started with "Some". But overall, I thought it was a pretty fine piece of journalism. Being a newspaper article, it couldn't go into much depth. Within those limitations, writer Bob Smietana did a good job.
