From earth to heaven, simple as that.

I have travelled a lot in the last months. A few days ago as I entered one more plane I decided to close my eyes during take off. The plane started rolling down the runway and within seconds the machine took off. Then I thought this is how dying must be. In one minute we are on earth and in the next we are in heaven, flying high in the sky. The only change occurs outside us but we are still the same person. I was still sitting at my seat with my eyes closed but I knew that now I was above the earth, free, flying, doing the impossible. For a few hours I was "in heaven" cruising the sky. I think that was a good insight that God gave me about the final hour. With him is that simple.
