Sunday: heaven

Today I finished the book Heaven is for Real. It is what a little boy saw when he went to heaven for three minutes. It's an easy read, and I'd definitely recommend it.

Two parts stuck out to me...1) that the boy got angry and upset when people died and they didn't know Jesus. Shouldn't I feel that way? 2) That he saw family members. He saw a sister that had been miscarried and a great-grandpa. When Mom died I sometimes wondered if I'd see her again...that heaven must be this amazing place and why would you want to see family when you could be worshiping God. While I realize that this book is not the Bible, there is also no reason for me not to believe what it says...and that means that I'll get to see my Mom again.
