About Us

Maybe you can call me...


T:  Dad, When are you gone’ die?
Dad:  I’m not sure.
T:  I hope you die when I’m 56 dad! I want to get married before you die.
Dad:  I hope so too. I love to see you get married!
T:  And I want you to take care of my kids when I go to work. Can you take care of my kids?
Dad:  Sure. I’d love to.
T:  I love you dad! You’re a good daddy.
Dad:  I love you more honey. You’re a great daughter too.
T:  Umm Dad, How old are you gone’ be when I’m 56?
Dad:  95.
T:  95 years old? Dad, I want you to come back and visit me when you die.
Dad:  Come back to visit you? I don’t think that’s possible honey.
T:  I want you to come back and visit me!
Dad:  Dead people don’t come back to life.
T:  Jesus did! Did Jesus come back to life dad?
Dad:  Here we go again!
T:  Maybe you can call me from heaven.
Dad:  Call you? Heaven is not some business trip – you know! I won’t take my phone with me.
T:  If I go to heaven first
Dad:  No. No. Stop talking about heaven and stuff like that.
T:  You’d never know dad.
Dad:  No. No. Stop it. You’d live a very happy life on earth. There is nothing nice in heaven. Nobody goes to heaven only to return later.
T:  Yes they do. Jesus did. 
Dad:  Who else do you know who came back from heaven?
T:  No one! But I really want to know how heaven is! I want to know how it is there. I want to know the conditions in heaven.
Dad:  Conditions? It’s nicer here on earth.
Dad:  Why do you think about this stuff so much?
T:  I don’t know dad. I just do.
T:  Dad?
Dad:  Yes dad?
T:  Is God in heaven? Is he the king of heaven?
Dad:  I really don’t know much about this stuff.
T:  I think he is.
Dad:  Okay. I agree.
T:  How about Jesus dad? Is he the king of heaven too?
Dad:  I…
T:  I think he is the Prince of heaven.
Dad:  Prince of heaven! I’ve never heard that before. That’s an original thought.
T:  And, I think his mommy is the Queen of heaven. If Jesus is the king of heaven, then what is God dad?
