God does has a sense of humour. We, however, do not.



I'm sorry that I had to sharpen up the image. If I hadn't the text would have been too blurry to read.

Everybody's talking about it



Heaven and Hell

We don't know, we can only hope, and act as though we have an idea where we want to be. I believe Heaven and Hell exist, but I don't presume to know God's mind as to who is, or is going, where. There's a reason that God, as I believe, sent his Son to die for me. I can only follow what my faith teaches (and love above all else), and hope that, ultimately, Heaven is where I will go to meet God...

Here's the other side



Heaven: Pizza to die for

One of each. For no matter how you're feeling...

I have read


of other experiences like this.

In the Pulpit: Near-death experience immersed in Christ’s unconditional love

But I've never met anyone who has had a similar experience...

Knocking on Heaven's door


Near-death experience led to heaven's door

I have this on my Kindle. It's good, it's just the gushing part that irritates me and makes it difficult for me to read in one sitting. I trust the experiences of children more than that of adults somehow..

But (my cynical self says) it sells books...


Celestial Sales for Boy’s Tale of Heaven

Some of us already believe that Heaven is real or there wouldn't be any reason for following a religious code other than to simply behave well - and you don't need a religious belief to do that.

Questions

that many theologians ask over and over in every generation are now being asked by some in the Evangelical tradition.

Pastor Stirs Wrath With His Views on Old Questions

Many in the conservative faction of the faith don't like his ideas.

What I find amusing is how the article discusses the controversy as taking place on blogs and 'Twitter messages'. The concept of theological discussion in 40 characters or less interests me. The 'sound bite' of theological discourse...

One man's


NDE (Near Death Experience).

John F's NDE

I'm honestly not certain what to make of NDEs, but they're frequent enough and personal enough that I don't discount them as being fictional...

For Sunday...

One of life's (or death's) little ironies...

A lot of artists

have untidy workspaces, but not every artist has died and met God (and Jesus Himself), nor been abducted numerous times by space aliens...

7 Wonders of God Creatures

So all I can say is that they really should give Larry a bit of a break. It can't have been easy...

Whose heaven?


Doctor claims he has evidence of the afterlife

"In new book, he says that near-death accounts transcend cultures and ages"
If anyone were to definitively prove life after death all that would happen is that our stupid violent human culture would start wars, everyone claiming that their vision of the afterlife is correct. Humans, in general, are a failed experiment, I think...

So? He's retired.

Consider his age. Remember that it's not the Church talking.

For Health Cardinal, Sala Therapy

Then consider the very sensitive response from the Vatican.

Sometimes these old retired folk, you know...
