Heaven & Hell

My boss at Hines Corporation was an awesome guy. He was just a super nice, fun, positive and encouraging person. One day we were talking about God things and he said to me "What if this is heaven, what if we're in it, and it has nothing to do with the afterlife?" To which my response was "If this is as good as it gets, just shoot me now"

But seriously, that statement worked for him, he was a good looking guy with a healthy income, beautiful wife, no kids, living in America. But what hope is there for everyone else? How do you tell a person suffering from poverty, sickness, and loss that this is as good as it gets?

I think my friend said it best when she said this: "For nonbelievers, this life is the closest to heaven they'll ever get...For believers, its the closest to hell they'll ever get".
