Must have missed this. Don't recall seeing or hearing about it. That
don't mean it didn't happen though. Take care and God bless.

ARKANSAS CITY (EAP) -- A Little
Rock woman was killed
yesterday after leaping through her
moving car's sun roof during an incident
best described as "a mistaken rapture"
by dozens of eye witnesses.
Thirteen other people were injured
after a twenty-car
pile up resulted from people trying
to avoid hitting the woman who was
apparently convinced that the rapture
was occurring when she saw twelve
people floating up into the air, and
then passed a man on the side of the
road who she claimed was Jesus.
"She started screaming "He's back,
He's
back" and climbed right out of the
sunroof and jumped off the roof of the
car," said Everet Williams, husband
of 28-year-old Georgann Williams who was
pronounced dead at the scene.
"I was slowing down but she wouldn't wait
till I stopped," Williams said.
She thought the rapture was happening and
was convinced that Jesus was gonna
lift her up into the sky,"
he went on to say.
"This is the strangest thing I've seen
since
I've been on the force," said Paul
Madison, first officer on the scene.
Madison questioned the man who looked
like Jesus and
discovered that he was dressed up
as Jesus and was on his way to a toga
costume party when the tarp covering
the bed of his pickup truck came loose
and released twelve blow up sex dolls
filled with helium which floated up
into the air.
Ernie Jenkins, 32, of Fort Smith, who's
been told by
several of his friends that he looks
like Jesus, pulled over and lifted his
arms into the air in frustration,
and said "Come back here," just as the
Williams' car passed him, and Mrs.
Williams was sure that it was Jesus
lifting people up into the sky as
they passed by him, according to her
husband, who says his wife loved Jesus
more than anything else.
When asked for comments about the twelve
sex dolls, Jenkins replied "This is
all just too weird for me. I never
expected anything like this to happen."
