I got up early this morning and went for a long walk. Passing the Myrna Loy Center the sun caught me in the eye and dazzled me. When my eyes cleared I saw a black and white cat stretching itself on the sidewalk in front of me. Then a white car came past, but I couldn't see the driver. Then I saw an eagle curving and swooping in the air – we get that alot around here. So when I finally sat down in my favorite coffee shop on Last Chance Gulch and had time to collect my thoughts I wondered what it all meant. Well I don't think it meant anything at all really. But I did think about what would happen to all those sights after the Rapture. Who would be coming with us and who wouldn't. And suddenly I became real real happy. I realised that I knew something that could save them all. I found myself just sitting there with a huge smile across my face. I must of sat there for around 40 minutes with my coffee getting cold and only me and the Good Lord know where my thoughts and dreams took me in that time. And in a funny way, for the first time I felt that although the Day is soon upon us now I really think like we have al the time we need to carry out His purpose and that's why the Day will come no sooner and no later. I am going to rest for the rest of today now. But this has given me more strength than ever and I can't wait to start the real task of sharing the joy with people I haven't even met yet. Who knows, perhaps I'll be talking to you in the next few months?

Septimus tells nice stories but he shuoldnt invent things to make them better. Theirs no last chance Gulch in Helena MT where he comes from, I know becuase my granpapy was born their and he wuold have told me
Well how do you do Mr Arkansas, we're always pleased to greet new folks to our adventure.
You know it's quite understandable your confusion about Last Chance Gulch. A lot of folk just know it as Main Street – indeed, some maps show it as just plain old Main Street. The truth is that even before your Granpa's time Last Chance Gulch was actually the name of our fair town so we locals like to call it that still, even if the town planners got other ideas! If youre ever up here in the ole Prickly Pear Valley we'll be sure to show you around, maybe see your Granpa's old place.
As for making things better, well the Good Lord already took care of that. I guess I hadn't realised that you folk might think that Last Chance Gulch referred to teh Day which is coming. Of course it really refers to when this place was a gold town – but I don't think we'll be seeing many of those prospecters come the Day, do you? They mostly already had their last chance and threw it away on jealousy, greed and women. Good riddance to them and I thank Jesus that Helena is now a God-fearing town where we can make ourselves safe in preparation.
Well Im real sorry I misconsiderd you and one day Patsy and me will mosy over and look you up. Granpappy used to say that Helena was a gold town but i guess youd say now that it is a GOD town!
