My thoughts on heaven
As I sit down for breakfast one morning I hear a scream form a scared young lady and a sound like a car swerving out of the way of a bouncing ball across the street. I get up to see what was going on and then I open the large maple door and walked out. Just to walk on to the old side walk where I used to skateboard with old buddy. I pick up the little read headed boy’s ball that the car had severed franticly around. With the ball in my hands I slow walk over to give the boy the ball. But just then some kid came speeding down the road and hit me blindsided. I flew throw the air as the little read headed boy had screamed.. I hit the ground and started to bleed and faded into unconsciousness.
As I opened my eye all I could see was a tall man desperately in need of a shave. Then I saw he had a name tag on it read “god”. I just starred at it in a shocked way. Did I really get killed by the dunked teens? I stud up I was fine not a scratch on me surprisingly. I pinched myself to make sure I was dreaming but I was really there. I was really up in heaven.
When I look to my left of this odd place on the wall I saw a sign up close to the top of the wall it read “Good Accomplishments” I walk over to the wall and saw a big screen on the wall.. On the screen it listen all the good things I had done and when I touched the word or accomplishment it showed me a video of me doing it. I got scared. As I remember all these places. I click on one that said “church”. I pushed it, I saw old clips of me helping in the kitchen during VBS and playing with the little kids after the ever Sunday service. I made me smile to see the entire good thing I had done in my life.
But when I looked to the right, there was a big screen almost exactly the same as the one on the left wall but the sign about it said:”Selfish Accomplishments”. I notice that this list had become a wee bit longer then the other one. Till I notice a number of pages in the top right hand corner of this huge screen. I felt so bad, I didn’t want to watch any but as I was gonna turn around but god just pointed to the wall. As in at lest watch one. So I pressed the one that said “Family Bonding” and it showed me all the good times I missed and all the time I put my family down or made them ashamed of me. I couldn’t watch any more, it hurt to bad know that I could have done more good stuff to help others.
So after that tree shedding moment, I walked over to god and asked him. How many people really miss me because when I look at that wall to the left it makes me feel like crap? I feel like no one should love me because of all the bad things I have done. So I ask god if he could just show me who really misses me now. He pointed to one last screen on the wall behind him. I approached it waiting to see no one pop up on that big screen. But just then the screen filled up will names and pictures and if didn’t end. I had showed everyone that was ever there for me or anyone I ever cared about or helped. They where all in tears because I was gone. After I saw that list going on never to stop.
I turned to god and ask him if he could give me one more chance and I would become more given and less selfish. Give my old cloths to kid that are freezing in the street. I would buy the homeless man a meal. But most of all I would tell every one I loved them and that I would always tell people how it is. God just gave we this funny look as I asked this. He just looked at me and I could see a small tear coming from his right eye. He just put his hand out to like shake and agree on it. As I shock his hand….
I awoke in the back of an ambulance; with a bunch of people yelling a screaming he isn’t gonna make it. My brother was the one in the ambulance with me. He was holding my hand and praying too of the things I had ever seen him do. I just tugged on his hand to let him no I was alive and said im gonna make it. With a slight smile, just then I closed my eye a god was waving for me to stay on earth. Then I knew I was there to stay for a while to carry out my job.

I wrote this back when I was younger and now after talking to my youth pastor and my pastor. I think I see it diffrently. I kinda feel like now instead of heaven being a spacific place, it's the spacific time in our lifes that are just so amazing and beauitful that it just make you feel like you in a type of "Heaven". Like when I play guitar in my youth band and I get really into I feel like im more in a Heavenly state and I feel like im not really sure what happens when you move on after life on earth. Hopefully I answered your question. If it's easier your more then welcome to e-mail me at
