My Heavenly Journey Part I

I awoke, drifting up and up, over my bed.  I shook my head. A tugging at my 
heart told me to go.  I looked down at my sleeping body below.  Was this some kind of 
dream?  From above came a bright beam.  Beckoning me forward.  Several huge bright 
beings with gold swords stood in my path.  I suddenly felt unclean, like I needed a 
bath.  Their flowing garments were white as snow.  They wore crowns of jewels of all 
colors of the rainbow.
	I entered through these arched golden gates.  As I moved past those huge 
beings, I noticed an emblem of a cross on their breast plates.  An attractive man in a 
snow-white robe approached me.  He said, “I am here to take you on a Heavenly journey.  
I said, “Who are you, sir and is this Heaven?”  He smiled and said, “Yes, and I was one 
of those passengers from “Nine Eleven!”
	He took me by the arm and so my journey began.  He told me, no one could enter 
Heaven who had died in sin.  Beautiful, flawless people passed us by.  They all smiled 
with the gleam of love in their eye.  Each person wore a crown of jewels on their 
heads.  There were no sad faces nor tears shed.  Lovely women, children and men.  All 
around me I heard songs of praise and shouts of “Amen”.  My guide pointed out prophets 
of old.  I was still shocked by every street of gold.  As we walked, he would point out 
things; like the crystal clear flow of the springs; the fact that angelical beings had 
no wings and most importantly, the continuous light that shown bright from the one and 
only King!
