1 Thessalonians 4:15-18
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
2 Timothy 4:7-8
For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing .
JIMH,
So they think I'm full of hot air or something!!!
Not to worry, I don't think they'll get down to my name it begins with a V. a ways to go yet. Hasn't the hurricane season just begun in some places, right?
Ok, so if it does get down that far, to my name, we'll go up in a whirlwind like Elijah did, instead it will be a (hurricane named "Valerie") LOL!!!
If by chance it get's down to my name, it will probably turn out to be a puff of bad air, that's all. 
. May be unpleasant but never hurt anyone! LOL!
An honor I'd rather pass over!!! Thanks but no thanks!
Valerie
Valerie & JIMH,
First of all, congratulations, Val, for having a possible hurricane named after you. (Wish we had a clap smiley to post here 
)
I too, had a hurricane--TS/Hurricane Tammy (remember her?), bearing my name, but it completely fizzled out. So that makes two of us RFTHees, whom so far having our names picked for this honored list.
Maranatha!
Tammy
Tammy,
Some honor, having a hurricane named after me that could cause havoc, destruction, and loss of life. Thanks but no thanks. I hope that if there are that many hurricanes and it comes to my name, it too will fizzle out to nothing. Valerie is no killer, she's a lover, of all things good and wonderful. 
Valerie
That's me Kathy, a lover, not a fighter!
not a 
You've got that right Sis! 
Kathy G., TS/Hurricane Sandy follows Rafael.
When ever I think of that name, I automatically think of Annie's faithful canine companion--Sandy. I believe that these are the lyrics to Sandy's name...
Sandy
Sandy's his name
If you please
If you don't believe me
Ask anyone of the fleas
Residing on
Sandy
Sure, he ain't pedigree
And he really comes in handy
Especially when you're all alone
And you're terribly frightened
He's Sandy,
Sandy,
He'll always be....there
Please stand to correct me on the above lyrics from the Movie Musical, introducing Aileen Quinn as "Annie", OK? Thank you.
Maranatha!
Tammy
P.S. The late Monkee, Davy Jones did a song w/our Valerie in its title.
Kathy, if it does come down to the name Valerie, then I hope it fizzles out as Nadine ended up doing as you stated. I don't want my name to be remembered as a storm or hurricane, that killed thousands, and left people homeless and destitute. Better to be a puff of air and fizzle out, than a hurricane, causing death and damage. If by chance it turns out to be a terrible one, I'll change my name to X, don't think they'll pick that name for a storm!!! LOL!!!
Valerie & Fellow RFTHees,
Let's not forget the Pacific Ocean hurricanes that form there!!!
I'm bringing this to your attention, b/c even they have their names too. Two, infact, had prophetic names: Mariam, and now there is Hurricane Paul. When I saw that name, two men came immediately to mind; VP Nominee Paul Ryan, and of course--the Apostle Paul (formerly known as, Saul).
Regarding the latter, I believe that the Lord could very well be telling us something b/c this Paul wrote many books in the NT. So, I'll let you all figure it out as to why this particular hurricane bears his name.
Maranatha!
Tammy
You're most welcome, Valerie.
You too, have a son named--Paul!? What a major coincidence!? Especially in the light of our VP Nominee--Paul Ryan; and the Apostle/Epistle Paul (formerly called--Saul)...sharing their names with a Hurricane churining his way up the Baja California Peninsula, Mexican coastline.
According to Cory McCloskey, our local Fox10 News Weather Forcaster...Paul may either fizzle out as he makes landfall/or he may head out westward towards the open waters of the Pacific Ocean. With Paul's clouds heading up our way towards Arizona...hense, our cooling down to the upper 80s--temperaturewise.
What I was thinking, since the Apostle/Epistle Paul wrote many books in the NT of the Bible. Wasn't two of his books, the Corinthians & Thessalonians? And also, wasn't he aboard a ship that broke up and sank after she was bombasted by somekind of a storm that blew up on the Meditterean Sea? And then the survivors also onboard this same ship with Paul, safely were washed ashore. Then that was when he (Paul) was bitten on his wrist by a snake as he was standing by a fire?
Maranatha!
Tammy
Valerie, & fellow RFTHees,
I just heard right now on Fox10 News, that Hurricane Paul made landfall, and has been downgraded to a Tropical Storm!!!
Also, the reason why the Apostle Paul (formerly known as, Saul) came to mind, when I first saw that this hurricane bore his name. Is b/c I believe that the Lord was pointing me to--1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.
But I am completely puzzled about why Hurricane Paul fizzled-out in the first place, only to being downgraded to a TS
, aren't you!?
Maranatha!
Tammy
Hurricane Paul fizzled out, because, Paul is a loveable guy, not a fighter! LOL! I'm glad he did, for the shake of people and property loss!
