The following is taken from airline Captain Dale Black’s near death experience in the book, Imagine Heaven, page 99.
Part of the joy I was experiencing was not only the presence of everything wonderful, but the absence of everything terrible. There was no strife, no competition, no sarcasm, no betrayal, no deception, no lies, no murders, no unfaithfulness, no disloyalty, nothing contrary to the light and life and love…The absence of sin was something you could feel. There was no shame, because there was nothing to be ashamed of. There was no sadness because there was nothing to be sad about. There was no need to hide because there was nothing to hide from. It was all out in the open.
Keep looking up, my friends.
Thanking and praising God in all things,
Mark
