No doubt there are some of you who have never been late to anything. Will you please stand.  You may pick up your trophies on the way out. 

And then there are the rest of us.  We have experienced the adrenaline high when waking to realize that it is indeed an hour later that our alarm clock said.  We are famous for dashing back into the house on Sunday to brush our teeth or grab our Bibles while the rest of the family sits in the idling car.  We have missed our family portrait appointment because we didn’t get the curlers out of our daughter’s hair soon enough.

If we are living when the Lord returns to rapture His children, we will go with Him right then—no dawdling or doing just “one more thing”.  That is one event for which all of us will be on time.

“Behold, I show you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:  for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”    1 Cor. 15:51, 52
