Due to massive rock slides in Glenwood Canyon, 17 mikes of I70 have been
shut down with massive detours up US40 through Steamboat Springs......this morning, about 8 miles west of Steamboat, a rock came through a car window
killing a female. Guess when God says it's your time......it's your time!
Not trying to be morbid, jut thinking!

"Go and hide in a hole if you wish, but you won't live one instant longer. Your fate is fixed. Fear profits a man nothing. " - Herger the Joyous from the movie 13th Warrior.
But then again it's often like the old joke about the white rancher and his black farmhand.
Rancher "I want you to go up in my airplane with me today."
Hand "No sir"
Rancher "Don't you believe that God decides when your time is comming and you won't die before then?"
Hand "Yes sir"
Rancher "Then why won't you go up in my airplane with me"
Hand "Well sir what if we get up in that thing and God decides its YOUR time?"
Love, laugh, live. Life is too short for anything else.

Forgive me for not saying it word for word but my Bible is at home and not here at work. In reference to the return of Christ to this old world I believe it goes something like this,
My coming will be like a thief in the night, you can never know the hour of my coming.
I believe that this means that when the Lord wants to take you home you will not know the hour, the minute or even the second when it will happen. But rest assured that it will happen to us all, so its best to be right with The Good Lord at all times.
I hope that the woman that was hit with the rock was prepared for what is to come for all of us.

Actually that quote of the Bible is not far off. It is said several times, the two most prominent are. . . . .
{5:1} But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have
no need that I write unto you. {5:2} For yourselves know
perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the
night. {5:3} For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then
sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a
woman with child; and they shall not escape. {5:4} But ye,
brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake
you as a thief.
1 Thessalonians
and
{3:10} But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the
night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great
noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the
earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
2 Peter
I believe the one dad (bulletpusher) is refering too is
{24:43} But know this, that if the
goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief
would come, he would have watched, and would not have
suffered his house to be broken up. {24:44} Therefore be ye
also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of
man cometh.
Matthew 24

Oops nope I was wrong, I had forgotten the version dad was quoting was in Revelations.
{3:3} Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast,
and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on
thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will
come upon thee.
Revelation
Sorry about that. My rememberer is just about broke, too bad my forgetter is like brand new.
