Heaven Must Be Like This
Can someone please explain this whole “heaven” thing to me? So when we die, we reunite with old friends and family—cool. But… which version of them? The vibrant, full-of-life version? Or the barely-there hospice version? Do kids who die young stay kids forever? Do we all just hang out with Paul...
