This is powerful and direct

Also last night.

You can’t believe in Heaven and be sad when people go there.

Said another way, how can you believe in Heaven and then be sad when someone goes there?

Said even another way, if you’re sad when someone dies, does that mean you don’t believe in Heaven?

Context: We must assume that the death is not unexpected, not a freak accident, nor some other unpredictable situation.

Thin places

two youthful couples at Walt Disney World
Star Wars – a thin place?

What is a thin place?

A place where Earth and Heaven blur together.

You can’t distinguish one from the other.

Maybe a stunning beach sunset.

Maybe an unexpected, random act of kindness bestowed on you.

Maybe a cure for something previously incurable.

Blinding flash of the obvious?

Desmond Tutu quote
Conviction versus luke warm, apathetic? Which is better for you?

Are you a hypocrite?

Can you imagine a homophobic Heaven?

Can you?

No, right?

Blinding flash of the obvious?

Can any “Christian” imagine a homophobic Heaven?

Heaven on Earth

 

Dear Son,

Your Grandfather’s birthday is today, May 19. He would have been 84.

You guys were two months away from meeting each other.

Our Summer trip to Pennsylvania was to be your first.

At less than a year old, you would never remember the meeting.

At the deepest depths of your Grandfather’s Alzheimers, he would never remember it either.

But he died on Good Friday.

Your Mom and i would have remembered the meeting and taken photos, but it never happened.

Another significant day today is…

World IBD Day is today.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease is incurable.

And…

Your dad leaves for Glacier 11 days from today.

You leave for Glacier in 14 days.

i spend 11 days there.

You get eight.

Never let your memories be bigger than your dreams.
