Apparently I Passed In My Sleep Last Night,

which is probably not a bad way to go, compared to some. Heaven is not at all like I thought it would be.

I had expected trumpets to be blaring at my unexpected arrival. Angels to break out singing, and a New Orleans Jazz band to be playing ‘When The Saints Come Marching In.’ Not that I am any kind of Saint, not even close, but I figured if you made it up the stairway, they played that song for every new arrival.

I thought Peter or Paul would be there to explain the situation to me. Pulling out a clip board of all the things I had done ‘Good’ in life that would justify one such as me entry into the Heavenly Country Club. I expected the long list that would detail my good deeds, and was shocked to see a blank page with ‘Nothing’ stamped across it. But they would turn that page over, and the next page would have hand written by the Boss Himself, the words, ‘Grace’ and ‘Mercy’.

Well, that’s kinda what I thought it would be like on my arrival day.

Nope, just Buygold standing there telling me there was not any bad news that day, and (better be sitting down for this one) making a pot of coffee.

Oh wait….here comes some ten foot angel dude and he looks like he means business. He explains that there has been a mistake and my appointed time is not up. Explaining that I must return for a season longer he asks before I go if I would be willing to fill out a short ‘Customer Satisfaction’ card. I told him sure, why not?

Under the Question: ” How was your arrival experience?” I checked the box, ‘Better than expected’.

The Angel thanked me, and said “Go ahead and take the coffee cup with you on your journey home.  One for the Road. And remember, ‘Life is Great’.

Sometimes, between that first and second cup, there is a world that exists that the eye yet can see. You might encounter an angel or two, or even Buygold standing there with a cup of coffee.

Well, I better run so I can join in for the last verse of Amazing Grace and so I can tell that preacher he was right, ” We cannot even imagine how good it’s gonna be.” 🙂

Thanks for the coffee Buygold !
