Harold Camping

I walked in my Christian store, and there was this old 85 year man(we call him Mr. R for now), talking to my customers about the end of the world. I know him for many years. He is a single old man, loves God and follows Harold Camping for 30 years. This time, he told me, it is for real, guaranteed, with a bright smile on his face. Mr. R has only three years of elementary school, simple minded, sometimes a little strange, slightly mentally ill. But if he takes his medication he is fine. He lives in a government funded apartment, which are difficult get. For many years he was on a waiting list, and finally qualified for an apartment. He was happy, so happy when he got the key. He started hoarding, collecting stuff from the street, and within a few months his apartment was filled with trash. We went there and cleaned his whole apartment. He struggled, but from that day on he kept it reasonably clean. He was happy, listening to the radio. But then, Mr. Camping told him that May 21, 2011 is the end, and all who believed will be raptured on that day. Mr. R a true believer knew he was saved. He will be one of the selected, as long as he speaks about it with all people, give out brochures and specially not doubt. I do not doubt, Mr. R told me, and you can not make me. I invited him to be in my store on Saturday May 21, 2011, so I could see him disappear. He agreed. We all know what happened, Sitting at the table in GLYcafe, he waited and waited, his head bowed down and with the same cup of coffee still in front of him which I gave him at 6pm. That evening he left late. He had told some one in the cafe that evening he gave up his apartment and had no place to go. Now he is homeless, somewhere on the street. He believed Mr. Camping. I hope he is not cold tonight. I hope I find him soon.
