Well, here it is.... April Fool's day.

Wikipedia suggests that this day was named from the Middle Ages in Europe, but then there is a cockerel named Chanticleer and a fox, but it doesn't really matter because no one is sure where the day came from exactly. The French called it "poisson d'Avril" which actually translates as April's fish... so there is that. LOL

Some declare it goes back to Genesis for Noah who released a dove before there was any dry land.

Today is also officially Sourdough Bread & National One Cent (why not "penny?") day.

This year it is also the start of Eid L'Fitr/the end of fasting for the month of Ramadan.

Eastern Orthodox Christianity is also celebrating Lazarus Day. This is a 4 day movable feast date that ends on the Saturday before Palm Sunday. It recognizes 4 days when Lazarus was in the tomb before Jesus resurrected him the same season that Jesus would be crucified and resurrected after 3 days/nights in the borrowed tomb. 

That is no joke... and it is not a foolish belief. 

For all the foolishness in politics, the media, school meetings, college campuses, and many other places, The Houses of God - the Body of Christ/Church - is one place that should be trusted for the truth. It is no joke that everyone will die (unless you remain until the rapture).

The hard truth is no joke either: Where you go after death is all about location, location, location!

Heaven is a literal place being prepared for the people who love, trust & choose Jesus/Yeshua to remain eternally with Him in His Father's House.

Hell is not a joke -- it is not for the partiers, players and perverse to enjoy themselves for eternity. It is a place of torment, the devil's own banishment, demonic horrors and deep darkness. No horror movie has even come close to what is in store the souls who will end up there. It was not even created for humanity, but for the fallen angels who rebelled against God and were banished from Heaven and their Creator. 

Those who believe that God is a joke will find themselves in a place of permanent separation from Him and His love, grace and mercy. As they reject Him. there is no recourse but damnation. A true but avoidable horror for any soul. 

Don't let the devil prank you.... turn to Jesus and God to be delivered from the devil's plans. And like Lazarus, become a resurrection story that will show the world that you are no fool!

Maranatha, y'all.

He's coming back, so stay ready!
