In Loving Memory
April 29, 1947 - September 5, 2020
Update: On Saturday, September 5th, 2020, the founder, administrator, and head moderator of this forum, Valerie S., went Home to be with the Lord. Her obituary can be found on https://memorials.demarcofuneralhomes.com/valerie-skrzyniak/4321619/index.php.
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 .
(Hopefully signs of our leaving!!!)

Below, I looked up “where” the full moon of Nissan ( April most
always ) is. Looking at the last 6 years including this year, it
is ALWAYS near Spica, the grain or “firstfruits” in the left hand
of Virgo. The dates and times below are UTC but if you notice,
they match the time of the full moon around Passover.
This year (2011) the moon is full on April 18 or Passover Eve
( Nissan 14 ). That night ( 4/17-18 ) the moon is near Spica.
2006 4 13 16:42.1 Full Moon 15 Nissan
Moon just beneath Spica
2007 4 2 17:15.8 Full Moon 14 Nissan
Moon just above Spica
2008 4 20 10:25.6 Full Moon 15 Nissan
Moon below Spica and at Virgo’s knee
2009 4 9 14:56.0 Full Moon 15 Nissan
Moon very near Spica
2010 3 30 2:25.9 Full Moon 15 Nissan
Moon very near Spica
2011 4/18 18 2:44.2 Full Moon / 14 Nissan
Moon very near Spica on the night of April 17-18, then
moves to near Virgo’s feet the evening of the 18th.
Romans 8 (King James Version)
22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and
travaileth in pain together until now.
23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have
the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan
within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the
redemption of our body.
24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is
not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
Romans 11 (King James Version)
15 For if the casting away of them (the Jews) be the
reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of
them be, but life from the dead?
16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy:
and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
1 Corinthians 15 (King James Version)
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of
all men most miserable.
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become
the firstfruits of them that slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also
the resurrection of the dead.
James 1 (King James Version)
18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth,
that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
