The regret in dying HAUNTS & JAUNTS By Rick Hinton Is the regret of a life less-lived enough motivation to remain behind after physical death? It very well could be. Our lives can be likened to a clock that in time begins to wind down and eventually stops. Until the prospect of dying—or actual death—affects you personally, it’s one of those topics we just keep on the shelf and not think about if we don’t have to. A nurse, working with patients in their last days made some observations. They had gone home to die in a comfortable environment. She found a common thread that existed with each patient during this period: I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me. “This was the most common regret of all. When people realize that their life is almost over and look back on it, it’s easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people had not honored even half of their dreams, and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made. From the moment that you lose your health, it’s too late. Health brings a freedom very few realize, until they no longer have it.” I wish I didn’t work so hard. “This came from male patients I nursed. They missed their children’s youth and their partner’s companionship. Women also spoke of this regret. All of the men deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence.” I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings. “Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others. As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence and never became who they were truly capable of becoming. Many developed illnesses relating to the bitterness and resentment.” I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends. “Often they would not realize the benefits of old friends until their dying weeks. Many had become so caught up in their own lives that they had let golden friendships slip by over the years. Everyone misses their friends when they are dying. That is all that remains in the final weeks—love and relationships.” I wish I had let myself be happier. “Many did not realize until the end that happiness is a choice. They had stayed stuck in old patterns and habits. Fear of change had them pretending to others, and to themselves, that they were content.” It’s food for thought.

How we could we as a society here in The United States better honor and show appreciation to our seniors? "Senior citizens have always played a very important role in my life. When I was in High School, some of my best friends were in their 70's. They mentored me on the important things in life, and were full of wisdom. I often encourage our young people at LifeBridge to seek out seniors as friends. Seniors can learn from young people too and these are valuable relationships to have." Brian Dowers of Beech Grove "I feel like if younger people went to senior homes and talked to the older people and conversed with them more and just had a good day with them it would help us show appreciation to them." Carlton Farrell of Franklin Township "I think just sitting down with seniors and listening to them. They have a vast amount of experience and they love to tell stories and talk about their lives and I think other generations could learn a lot from the seniors." John Schwentker, works in Perry Township "I think we should value what they did for us when they were younger. We should thank them for what they have done for our country. They have done a lot to get us where we are now and we really need to appreciate that. We could buy them lunch when you see them out, thank them for serving if you see them wearing a veteran’s hat. I don’t think people do enough. I work in a hotel and it has really made me appreciate the older generation that have come before me."

Beech Grove Walmart. Photo by Nicole Davis Beech Grove declares Walmart a ‘public nuisance’ based on number of police runs so far this year FEATURE By Nicole Davis The Walmart in Beech Grove has drawn national attention recently from the brawl in the shampoo aisle that was posted on youtube.com and the number of theft incidents resulting in police runs. From January to June, Beech Grove Police responded to calls at Walmart 485 times. Beech Grove Mayor Dennis Buckley announced that Police Chrief Mark Swartz issued a public nuisance letter to Walmart on Aug. 14. They want Walmart to take the necessary measures to reduce the amount of police runs. Walmart spokesperson, Brian Nick, said that they’ve already started taking those steps. “The intent is to stop calling us every time someone shoplifts,” Buckley said. “In Walmart’s defense, they have done some things to improve the conditions... Over the past several weeks, it’s started to escalate again and we want it to stop.” Beech Grove public nuisance laws are new as of this year, and Walmart is the first to receive a notice. Only the police chief can issue this notice. Those issued the notice have 10 days to respond. After those 10 days, the person or business will begin being issued public nuisance tickets when the police respond to things such as minor theft. Nick said that the Walmart has been participating in the company’s Restorative Justice program, which has had success in other parts of the country. If a shoplifter is caught and meets certain criteria, the store will offer the suspect to opt into a program, administered by a third party, which would require them to take an online course teaching them about different financial information and choices they have rather than committing a crime. “Because we’re seeing progress directly on what has been asked of the store, we will most certainly continue what’s being done and we’ll be responsive to a continuing dialogue of how we can work with local officials and law enforcement to make sure that (we address) additional concerns,” Nick said. “We are obviously proud to be in the community and employ hundreds of people in the community, pay taxes and serve quite a bit of customers.” Walmart is also working on fixing its fence behind the store so that people cannot enter or exit through that direction and working on semi parking. “One of the biggest arguments is Walmart needs to have police to monitor what happens when people come in the store,” Buckley said. “They do that but not enough. I think they should hire off-duty police officers to park their cars in front of the door, monitor everyone that walks in the store.” Nick said that solution is not feasible. “The store overall does not have a security issue where things are repeatedly occurring that puts the safety and security of people at risk,” Nick said. “It’s not the kind of store where we would put somebody full-time doing security there. We do have other stores in the country that do meet that criteria but this one does not.” Both Nick and Buckley said that they will continue to work with one another to relieve the problem – as neither party wants to have people in the store for the wrong reasons. “They have the potential to really be a good community business,” Buckley said. “They just have to eliminate the problems. They seem to attract a really bad element and we have to stop that... You have all of these incidents in Beech Grove and the people involved are not residents. All of these things don’t reflect Beech Grove.” VIEWS The Southside Times ss-times.com • Week of August 20-26, 2015 OUR VIEW HUMOR Information galore Changes are coming Top ten suggestions to 'fix' the Walmart 'problem' If you enjoy attending informative meetings and learning about your community, there will be no shortage of those types of events coming up.

By Torry Stiles (Dear readers - In case you didn't get the memo: The City of Beech Grove has file papers declaring the local Walmart to be a "public nuisance." This follows after many years of daily police runs to the store for a variety of criminal complaints.

He was hired as a reserve officer in 2012. “It’s a really close-knit department,” Hollenbaugh said. “Everyone knows everyone. I know I can call any of the officers for help, personally or professionally. The community has really given us a positive response. We always hear good things from the community. Knowing we have their support is really helpful.” Hollenbaugh is a Greenwood Community High School graduate. He and his wife, Jaurden, have two children, Carter and Zoe, and one child due in January. He also works doing security for government buildings in Center Township or event venues like Lucas Oil Stadium. He says he hopes to make law enforcement his lifelong career. “It helps us with patience and being open minded, knowing everyone comes from different places,” Hollenbaugh said. “No night will be the same.” What was your inspiration to become a police officer? It’s something I’ve always wanted to do since I was a little kid, being able to help the community and interact with the community every day. It’s knowing I can be out here and help people in their time of need, being able to see the different city events and watch everyone come out and have a good time. What has been one of your most gratifying moments on the job? We always try to do something special for kids. Whenever we see a child, we have toys in the back of the SUVs and let them pick out a toy. Last National Night Out, we had a bunch of games set up and the police officers were passing out tickets to allow the children to do get prizes. It’s nice to see the officers interacting with the kids and know we’ll be there for them if they ever need them. What aspect of the job do you find most challenging? Negative publicity, trying to let everyone know that you’re on their side, that you are here to help. What do you enjoy doing in your off-time? In my free time I try to spend as much time with the kids as possible. Carter always Photo by Nicole Davis Aaron Hollenbaugh has some sport in season and Zoe just started dance class so it's fun to watch them learn and get better at the things they enjoy. When we are home Carter and I play a lot of video games, it's gotten to the point where he can beat me at some without me even letting him. I have been going to the driving range because it allows me to relax and clear my head even though I am horrible at golf. I try to see all my buddies when our schedules allow us and we always are super competitive with each other, whether it be darts, poker, video games or fantasy football. And having time with my dad and my son Carter making memories like going to the Indy 500 that Carter will be able look back on hanging out with his dad and grandpa. What are your future goals, professionally or personally? To continue with my law enforcement career and be a better police officer every change I get. I want to continue training in different areas. Personally, to make sure my wife and kids are happy. What would you have done if you hadn't of became a police officer? Probably would have been a PE teacher. I really enjoy spending time with kids and helping them learn different sports. I enjoy sharing my love of sports with the kids and see how excited they get about it. Compiled by Nicole Davis The Southside Times COVER STORY Getting the POINT a-cross! By Nicole Davis When Stephen and Melody Gossage founded Point of Hope Apostolic Church, they wanted to be the church of the community – the church that is known for being active and giving back. Five and a half years later, and the church has grown enough to have the ability to show their appreciation for the support received from their Southside community and give back in a significant way. Point of Hope Loves Southport community project will kick off Sept. 1 and continue through that Saturday, with the congregation giving to a different group each day: police and first responders, Perry Township schools, community leaders and volunteers, and all residents. “This is not about us,” Stephen said. “We’re small. We don’t have a big building yet. We have been saving money until that times comes. We just want to invest in our community. We want to build a culture in our church that we give out as much as we bring in.” Stephen grew up on the Westside of Indianapolis, graduating from Ben Davis High School. He and Melody were associate pastors in the Geist area. Melody is an analytical chemist for Eli Lilly and Company. Having lived on the Southside for many years, they decided to take a leap of faith and start Point of Hope church in Southport, currently located at 21 S. Main St. “I found earlier in life while growing up around church that I enjoy serving people,” Stephen said. “Around 12 or 13 I realized, that even though it was thankless, I felt good about myself when people were helped. I’m very happy with what I’m doing... I want to serve people.” Point of Hope started with three members of the congregation and is now up to 85. It’s a multicultural church with a Spanish pastor on staff who holds a service at 2:30 p.m. on Sundays. Stephen recently became a Southport police chaplain, although he’d been helping on an informal basis for a while, he says whenever there was an “overload” on the two other chaplains, John Coy and Billy McKinney. He has also been asked to pray at the opening of city events such as City Council meetings or last year’s Flag Retirement Ceremony. “We have two chaplains on the department,” said Southport Police Chief Thomas Vaughn. “He’s the one we normally call out. We had a suicide a month ago now and called him out on it. It was a Sunday night; he got dressed and was there in 15 minutes. He’s a huge asset to the department. He definitely cares. He’s a really good guy and his heart is in the right place... He’s done so much for the city and the officers that it was a good fit for everybody.” Point of Hope Loves Southport is a nondenominational community project. On Sept. 1 they will give a free lunch to police and first responders, along with a $1,200 donation for two bulletproof vests to the Southport Police Department. Sept. 2 they will visit Southport Elementary to give a free breakfast to the faculty with coffee from Starbucks, doughnuts from Longs Donuts, bagels from Panera Bread, fruit and more. They will give a $350 scholarship for a Southport senior. Sept. 3 they will give all community leaders and volunteers a ‘thank you’ dinner. On Sept. 4 they will host a Health Fair in partnership with Community Hospital South and the city of Southport. Community Health Network will offer a chest pain ss-times.com • Week of August 20-26, 2015 Pastor Stephen Gossage and Point of Hope Church host week-long Southport and Southside community appreciation events and stroke education table, balance/flexibility screening, blood pressure screening, pulse oximeter and peak flow monitors table and joint health. Sept. 5 will tentatively be a Community Block Party. “Local businesses have been donating,” Stephen said. “It’s unbelievable. It’s been well received by the Southport city council and parks department. They see this about being more than this church. This being the first year we want to make sure it goes well.” Stephen said that he hopes to make the event an annual project to take place around Labor Day. He said Point of Hope is looking forward to continued growth and are working on a potential relocation of the church which would almost quadruple their space. “We’re growing and we’re reaching people,” Stephen said. “I’ve let people know we’re not coming to be another church. We’re here to be the church... I want to be the church that’s very connected to our community.” Health Fair What: Point of Hope Apostolic Church teams up with the city of Southport and Community Hospital South.

Photo by Nicole Davis Rockin' on the Southside Franklin Township natives form Dook Swayz band to create ‘hip-rock’ music, their own mixture of rap, rock, grunge FEATURE By Nicole Davis They call it hip-rock - a mixture of rap, grunge, reggae and rock. John Cox, Mike Smith and Paul Holton created Dook Swayz earlier this year, mixing rap, rock and grunge. They have been surprised at the positive response so far. After posting their music on reverbnation.com, they’ve been ranked in the top 60 of alternative bands. “I think people hear it at first and say this is weird,” Smith said. “But when they keep listening, they see this is what we’re trying to create.” Smith and Holton are long-time friends, having grown up in Wanamaker. Holton used to record music with a gospel band. Cox is Smith’s uncle, who brings along his rock experience as the band’s guitarist. The band recently brought in a drummer. “It all started when I saw a video, Jake Bugg, a guitarist and singer/songwriter from London,” Smith said. “There was something about the music. I liked the song and I wanted to hear more. He actually played in Bloomington. I went and got to meet him after the show. So I picked up a guitar. We always used to freestyle, but it was more rap than it is now. Then John came along and it added more rock.” Smith said their goal is to create a new genre of music while making music that they enjoy listening to. He said they have about 50 written songs, about 15 that they show people. John said their goal is to make it to top ten on reverbnation.com eventually. They recently won an Akademia Award for best new Alt-Electrica song for their song, Galaxsea 1.5. Akademia Music Awards is an organization in California which recognizes “excellence in music” and support new musicians. “If we can get other people to play our music, I think that would be cool,” Smith said. “I don’t want it to be just us. We do what we love. I want to get better. There’s plenty more to come.” For more, visit reverbnation.com/DookSwayz or theakademia.com/june2015_bestsong_alternativerockelectronica.html Send your Southside news or events for print consideration to [email protected] PET PAGE The Southside Times ss-times.com • Week of August 20-26, 2015 FACE Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic Call for a dog or cat spay/ neuter appointment!

While we are happy to give a few tips and ideas about training, we do not offer classes here in the clinic. But there are several very good canine training centers in the area. There are many types of classes to meet your needs. There is puppy kindergarten for the young one. Older dogs can attend obedience and agility courses. A few schools also offer more specialized training and also swimming, jumping and water retrieving. Any of these classes are a great idea. They teach your dog, they teach you, and everyone has fun at the same time. Regardless of where you go and which class you choose, the schools will have requirements in order to sign up. Dogs will have to be recently examined and current on vaccinations. Depending on the facility you choose, they may require parasite testing and treatments. If you let us know, we will be happy to print an extra certificate for you to take to school with you. I hope the kids and dogs all have a great start to the school year.

The Southside Times Is your criminal record hindering your job search? LEGAL By Dave Byers, Andrew Noone with Holwager, Byers and Caughey Many individuals cringe at having to check yes when asked if they have been convicted of a crime on their employment application. In many instances it has been years or even decades since you made a mistake and completed your sentence; however, the conviction record continues to haunt you and hinder your chances at more gainful employment. Many individuals have simply given up hope of being able to overcome their past indiscretions. If this applies to you, then you need to seriously consider getting your convictions and arrests expunged. You can now take action to remove your embarrassing criminal history. Recent changes in Indiana law allows for individuals to expunge their criminal records and be treated as if they were never convicted of the offense. This means that you no longer have to check yes on the employment application being left to wonder if my conviction immediately sent me to the bottom of the pile. Convictions have a wide array of consequences on one’s life ranging from limiting job opportunities to eliminating your civil rights, including the right to vote, serve as a juror, act as guardian, and possess a firearm. In 2013, the new expungement law went into effect in Indiana. The goal of this law was to allow people to obtain more meaningful employment and to allow people to have their civil rights restored. In a tight job market any conviction can be hindering in your job search. An expungement allows you to rest assured that your conviction will not be the red flag keeping you from employment. Employers are explicitly prohibited from denying you employment because of an expunged conviction. Many individuals do not realize the lingering consequences of their convictions until it is too late. A conviction for drunk driving not only raises your insurance rates, but also closes doors to more gainful employment and stays on your official driver’s record. A felony conviction also prevents you from being a guardian or the personal representative of the estate of a loved one. Also felony convictions embarrass and prevent parents from chaperoning a child’s field trip or other school functions. These are only a few examples, but undoubtedly the effect of a conviction is harsh and lingering. The only means available to remedy these effects is to pursue an expungement. The law does require a waiting period. For individuals arrested for a crime that was subsequently dismissed, you must wait one year from the date of arrest to file. For those convicted of a misdemeanor offense you must wait five years from the date of conviction to file. Examples of misdemeanor convictions are operating while intoxicated, possession of marijuana, public intoxication, and shoplifting. For those convicted of felony offenses, the waiting period is typically eight years from the date of conviction. There are certain offenses that are not eligible for expungement. Violent offenses, sex offenses, or offenses involving official misconduct are not eligible. The expungement process can be very confusing and you are only allowed one expungement during your lifetime. It is important to have an experienced attorney guide you through this process. An experienced attorney can properly draft all the necessary paperwork, has experience with the Court and Prosecutor, and most importantly, can advise you exactly what an expungement can and can not do. Our office has done many expungements and can confidently guide you through the process. We are happy to discuss expungement with you during a free consultation. For additional information, please check out our website at www.beechgrovelaw.com. Don’t let your criminal record preclude you from better employment or enjoyment of your rights. It is possible to get that criminal record expunged. Do not allow yourself to continue to feel the effects of your past decisions. Take action by contacting our office to see if you qualify.

Sitting around a table, enjoying a glass of wine and the live music, Mary Jo Eckstein, Vicki Goss and Judy Rossman say that they love coming to WAMMfest and enjoying all of the activities offered. They’ve never missed a year for the annual event put on by the Sertoma Club of Greenwood. They’re not the only ones. WAMMfest continues to draw large crowds to Greenwood for a day of Wine, Art, Music and Microbrews. “It’s kind of like an urban block party,” said Joyce Nies, on the steering committee for WAMMfest. “You just see so many people you know and maybe haven’t seen them 6. since last year at WAMMfest.” WAMMfest 2015 was Aug. 15, featuring more than 75 vendors, eight wineries, seven breweries and six bands. For the first year, a wedding reception was held during the event. Greenwood couple Bryan Doughty and Sierra Sparks, who enjoy WAMMfest so much, that they married that morning and danced their first dance at WAMMfest with Toy Factory performing 78.

(middle). Mommy- Unborn baby’s cells develop rapidly. Every cell is made of protein, plus, pregnant women have protein needs too. The goal during pregnancy: make sure you provide your baby needs without sacrificing your own health. Omega-3 rich salmon is high-quality protein and an exceptional source of Omega-3 good for baby's development. Salmon has low amounts of methylmercury, but the FDA says only 12 ounces a week. EPA.gov says: “For fetuses, infants, and children, the primary health effect of methylmercury is impaired neurological development. Methylmercury exposure in the womb, which can result from a mother's consumption of fish and shellfish that contain methylmercury, can adversely affect a baby's growing brain and nervous system. For fetuses, the primary health effect of methylmercury is impaired neurological development. Methylmercury exposure in the womb, can adversely affect a baby's growing brain and nervous system.” Many moms opt not to eat fish at all. One egg contains 12 vitamins and minerals, quality protein and choline essential for pregnancy. Babycenter.com reports: “Healthy women with normal blood cholesterol can consume one to two eggs a day as part of a balanced diet low in saturated fat. If cholesterol is a concern, substitute egg whites for whole eggs. When you're too ex- hausted to cook a full meal, a couple of hardboiled or scrambled eggs are just the ticket.” Did you know fiber could become your new BFF? When pregnant, your gastrointestinal tract slows down. Fiber can help prevent and relieve blockage problems. Eating Beans and Brown Rice combined is a plant source of complete protein, iron, folate, calcium, and zinc. Beans contain the most fiber and protein of all vegetables. Omege-3 Walnuts are also a good source of protein and fiber. Fluffy, nutty-tasting quinoa is my protein favorites. Whole grains benefit pregnancy because they're high in fiber and contain vitamin E, selenium, and phytonutrients that protect cells. Greek yogurt typically has twice the protein of regular yogurt. If you don't take in enough calcium, growing baby bones will deplete your calcium cache’. Clean meats can an excellent source of high-quality protein. Seek local cuts of red meat that are 95-98 percent fat-free lean meats with the fat trimmed. Don't eat cancerous nitratetreated deli meats or hot dogs, though, says Mayo Clinic obstetricians. Eat deeply from the Celestial Apothecary and your baby will thrive, recognize and accept those flavors of health later on. Chef Wendell is a lecturer and food journalist.

Phonetic preferences aside, it easily could have been "I dreamt a dream," though, since, though the original lyrics for the musical adaptation of Vigo Hugo's novel were written in French, the English translation was done by Herbert Kretzmer, who was born in South Africa while it was a British colony. Now that you're all sufficiently bored, here's why all that matters: "Dreamed" and "dreamt" are both perfectly acceptable as the past tense of "dream," however "dreamt" is much more common among British speakers – particularly those taught Received Pronunciation. There are a number of verbs with equally interchangeable past tense forms: "learn," "spoil," "burn," etc. "Dreamt" is a little more common than "spoilt," perhaps," but I wager to say you hear it less in American English than "burnt." At any rate, all of the "-t" forms tend to be used more frequently in British English. I've written previously about "burned" and "burnt," and situations where you might favor one over the other – but that's not really the case here. "Dreamed" and "dreamt" are equally acceptable in every situation I can think of. The best reason to favor "dreamed" is that it's going to sound more natural to the American ear. If you're writing for a British audience, the reception might be the same regardless of which word you pick. So that's it: When it comes to "dreamt" and "dreamed," you can't go wrong.

NIGHT & DAY The Southside Times Straight Outta Compton… pleasant late-summer surprise MOVIE REVIEW By Adam Staten Movies and music go hand in hand. While making movies without the use of music, is not impossible, it would make for a much less enjoyable experience. Music heightens or lowers the intensity of a scene, can cause an entire theater to jump out of their chairs and can even become so synonymous with a film (Star Wars, Indiana Jones), that a single note conjurers up images or a character or scene. One film that is as much about the people behind the music as it is the music itself is the recent release, Straight Outta Compton. Straight Outta Compton, also the name of their debut album, is the story about the group often credited with the creation of the gangsta rap genre, N.W.A. N.W.A. is a rap group that emerged during the late 1980s’ out of Compton, California. Their songs focused on growing up around drugs, constant violence and their extreme dislike of the police and other authority figures. The film focuses on the group’s struggles to garner any initial traction in the music world, their mammoth success, and the fallout following from the group’s eventual breakup. Straight Outta Compton also spends a considerable amount of time following the post-N.W.A. lives of Ice Cube, Easy-E, and Dr. Dre. The film spends the first hour providing BEHIND BARS Top Shelf Margarita Bartender: Tony Priola Location: The Willard 99 N. Main St., Franklin Ingredients and directions: 2 oz. Patron Tequila Silver 2 oz. Grand Marnier liqueur 1 oz. Lime Juice 2 oz. Sour mix Splash of orange juice background on the members who would eventually make-up N.W.A. and following the group on their first nation-wide tour. However, this is most boring and uninteresting part of the entire film. It plays as every other film about any group that had even a moderate role in shaping music. After the group finishes their tour is when the film begins to pick up a considerable amount of steam. Straight Outta Compton spends the rest of the film looking at the lives and the strained relationships between the group’s most prominent members, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, and Easy-E. Even with a cast of young unknowns, Paul Giamatti as Jerry Heller being the exception, the acting is spot on. The young actors sound and look eerily similar to the individuals they’re attempting to mimic. The individual playing Easy-E turns in the best performance in a film with two or three stand out performances. Straight Outta Compton is a pleasant latesummer surprise. While the film virtually ignores the two other members of N.W.A, DJ Yella and MC Ren, Straight Outta Compton is a terrific film with strong performances. 4 out of 5. Adam Staten lives in Perry Township and is a movie buff. Staten graduated from University of Southern Indiana with a degree in Communication Studies. ss-times.com • Week of August 20-26, 2015 AN OPTION Kuma’s Corner The scoop: The Kuma’s Corner philosophy is simple. “Support your community.

Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus." ~ Revelation 22:20 By Paul Kirby Of course, "He which testifies these things" is Christ. When He says, "Surely I come quickly", just what does this mean? "I come quickly" does not necessarily mean that He is promising to come soon. What it does mean is that His coming will be sudden. It will be unexpected and we all will be taken by surprise by it, so much so that His coming again is compared to the sudden appearance of a thief in the night. He is not coming to behave like a thief in the night as some would teach, His coming unexpectedly is like a thief that comes suddenly unexpectedly. His coming will not be a secret coming and going but every eye shall see Him and every knee shall bow to Him. There will be no "secret rapture" but a sudden "catching away" of the church and the judging of sinners and time shall cease. He will come with a shout, with the voice of the Archangel, and with the trump(et) sounding. There will be enough noise at the time of His coming to literally awaken the dead in Christ and to get the attention of those who remain bodily alive. What is secret about His coming is when. No one knows this, not even the angels in heaven. No one knows except God Himself. There are just some things that we do not need to know in order to effectively do the business that God has left for the church to do. We just need to know and to believe that Christ is coming and that His coming will be a hasty appearance and a hasty return with His church to heaven itself. God bless and go and have a great day.
