Just one question needs to be asked, “Is he there God?” For the answer to that question needs no more explanation. If he is there, in heaven, then all worries and concerns for him are no more. He is not “resting at peace” as we say here on Earth, he is higher than we can comprehend, more joyous than a human mind is capable of, more elated, relaxed, pleasured all at the same time, than our neurons could process. Though we might miss him here, with us, he does not, he is happier where he is, what he is doing, and time and sadness no longer make any sense to him. Any sentiments are our worldly bodies talking. Just like a room we have never been in, we cannot fathom what it is like. Yes, we could compare it to other rooms, similar rooms, make inferences, but we will not in fact know the actual room. Though, Heaven isn’t a room, nor a place like we imagine here on Earth, it is better and therefore unfathomable. God is not another person either, he is supernatural in all of us, in-between us...

I need reminders from my wife that I am “not that important” and that my perspective, no matter how educated, isn’t the only “right” one. I have failed and I hope you do to. I hope you go through some of the most difficult-to-comprehend life events, for without those opportunities you will never grow. Damn it life can suck sometimes. Just like when I was a kid and wanted to do what I thought best but my loving parents said “no.” It doesn’t matter if their intent was to keep me safe or simply saying “no” due ...
