Heaven is for Real
I finished reading the book "Heaven is for Real" yesterday. If you haven't heard of the book, here's a brief description: Heaven Is for Real is the true story of the four-year old son of a small town Nebraska pastor who during emergency surgery slips from consciousness and enters heaven. He survives and begins talking about being able to look down and see the doctor operating and his dad praying in the waiting room. The family didn't know what to believe but soon the evidence was clear. Of course, my Catholic upbringing taught me about heaven and purgatory and limbo and hell. I don't know...I'm not sure I ever was that convinced about it. But, the story of Colton will make you question your beliefs, while giving you hope of one day seeing your loved ones again. Personally, I cannot wait to see Grandma Scherrman again, not to mention to finally meet my Grandpa Scherrman. Today, I also learned that someone I was once very close to died. He was only 55...
