That should be the next million dollar question. If heaven is such a great place to go home to, it seems like punishment to have to live until old age. If heaven is such a great place to go home too, it seems like everyone would try to live dangerously. If heaven is such a great place, we should be begging for death. If heaven is such a great place, why did we leave there in the first place?
This weekend we are going to celebrate the homecoming of Steele. He above all deserves his rest. I for one can’t wait to join him. Until then, I’ll be here. Let’s be happy that he found his peace and celebrate.
