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 .

Brilliant meteor lights up the night over Atlanta
*
A bright meteor lit up the night sky above Atlanta on Sunday in a dazzling display caught by NASA cameras.
The meteor streaked over Atlanta, Ga., and its surrounding cities at the mind-blowing speed of about 52,800 mph.
NASA's network of all-sky cameras, which monitors the sky for meteor and fireball events, caught several views of the "shooting star" from different cities, including a video recorded from Cartersville, Ga., though it was difficult to pinpoint the meteor's core.
"The meteor was too bright for the all-sky camera in Cartersville, Ga., to accurately determine the center of light, so manual analysis will be required to determine a more accurate end point," NASA meteor scientist Bill Cooke wrote in a blog post. Cooke is the head of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.
The meteor was streaking over the Atlanta suburb of Duluth at an altitude of about 65 miles when it was first spotted, and fizzled out at a point about 26 miles between the towns of Stockbridge and McDonough.
Astronomers have different names for space rocks depending on where they are.
Small rocks and dust particles in space are considered meteoroids until they encounter Earth's atmosphere. If they blaze up in a bright fireball or flash, they are called meteors, and if any remnants reach the Earth's surface, they are called meteorites.
If you spot a meteor, you can check this NASA website to see if it the space agency has identified its origins.
