Blank gift card, 2006. (from Joan?) Brite Muller, Berlin
The Bunny here knows his Easter schedule: there's a full moon behind him. There's no telling when the rapture will occur, though; the end of this mortal world has no specific date, thank goodness. But it certainly seems that Our Lord will return during some really nice weather. This is one of a series of rapture post cards by the artist Leon Bates, "as described in the Bible." The whole series is available at Christian bookstores or through "Bible Believers Evangelical Association," Sherman, TX.
The card arrived at the TV station where I worked in 1988. It was from Mr. Wright, who thoughtfully attached on the flip a folded religious tract with scotch tape. Underneath was a heartfelt message to increase the amount of religious programing on TV, "or I will have to watch a station with more Christian programing." I'm pretty confident Mr. Wright will not be left behind piloting an eighteen-wheeler like the one in the card when the rapture occurs.
Woody Allen has his own problems, and seems resigned to the whole mess humanity finds itself in, pre-rapture. My friend Rocky sent this from New York April 5, 1988, where he was preparing at Trinity Church for the Episcopalian priesthood. Not all were matters of the spirit for Rocky: "I'm going to Africa -- Kenya and Zaire -- and Egypt with my family in June, and I can't wait." Haven't heard from Rocky in 20 years. Maybe it's time for a Google search.
