This Day (tomorrow) in Ohio history...

1844 - Millerites believed that this day was when God would take all worthy believers to Heaven (http://www.ohiohistorycentral.org/this-month-in-history.php

The Millerites were the followers of the teachings of William Miller who, in 1833, first shared publicly his belief in the coming Second Advent of Jesus Christ in roughly the year 1843. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millerism)

Do ya think that might include us worthy voters.

All the right-wing "Obama-nation" hysteria is driving me to distraction. Sorry, just had to get this in. Growing up, my family belonged to a sect that was sure the second coming was going to be 1n 1976.
Book of Revelation Acopalyse and all.

1. Worthy believers? Worthy voters? Sure, that's us but

we won't be in heaven until November 5, 2008.
