A friend sent me a link to a website that is very interesting, to say the least. It’s a site called “you’ve been left behind”. The site is a service that allows you to send emails to your friends or family that are left behind when the rapture occurs. The following is some detail, found on their site, which explains the service that this company provides.

We have set up a system to send documents by the email, to the addresses you provide, 6 days after the "Rapture" of the Church. This occurs when 3 of our 5 team members scattered around the U.S fail to log in over a 3 day period. Another 3 days are given to fail safe any false triggering of the system. We give you 150mb of encrypted storage that can be sent to 12 possible email addresses, in Box #1. You up load any documents and choose which documents go to whom. You can edit these documents at any time and change the addresses they will be sent to as needed. Box #1 is for your personal private letters to your closest lost friends and relatives. We give you another 100mb. of unencrypted storage that can be sent to up to 50 email addresses, in Box #2. You can edit the documents and the addresses any time. Box #2 is for more generic documents to lost family & friends.The cost is $40 for the first year. Re-subscription will be reduced as the number of subscriber’s increases. Tell your friends about You've Been left behind.

Now there are some interesting things to consider here:

· What if you pay with a credit card and the next day the rapture occurs? Is there a way they can still collect?
· If I sign up, and their system fails to do what I pay for, do I have some recourse? I’ll be in heaven so I won’t get mad, or sue, right?
· I’m not sure about the owners of this company being raptured with me and the emails still being sent out. Wouldn’t it be safer to hire an honest Buddhist and have him send the emails? I just feel better about a person being present to hit the send button, don’t you?
· And, all kidding aside – isn’t it better to send messages before, not after?

The bible makes it clear that we are Christ’s ambassadors as though God were making His appeal through us (note: it doesn’t say someone else should or could make the appeal for us). The verse continues, “we implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God” (2 Corinthians 5:20). The left behind email idea might be creative, but the best way is to make an appeal to our friends before they are left behind. It won’t cost $40.00 but it will cost you some prayer, some time and some courage from the Lord.
If you don’t like that idea, here’s the link to the website. But let me warn you, once you send in your $40.00, you’ll never know if the message gets sent! ( www.youvebeenleftbehind.com ).
