Knocking on Heaven ’ s Door … ( 04 / 03 / 2013 )
“ None of this stuff is really about morality or religion or dogma or big fancy questions of life after death . The capital-T Truth is about life BEFORE death .” ~ David Foster Wallace
“ The Kingdom of God is not coming in the future with things that can be observed , nor will people say , ‘ Here it is ,’ or ‘ There it is ,’ for the kingdom of God is already here , both within & all around you .” ~ Jesus Christ ( Luke 17:20-21 )
No one knows what the Universe is or what God has in store for us after we die ( or even if there is a God at all ) … And yet one thing seems relatively certain : The raw Bliss of that realm known as “ The Kingdom of Heaven ” will never be opened to us as long as we are striving in this life to attain Salvation in the next .
My Friends , the grapes of Love are not to be pressed into a sour wine for our own future enjoyment , but rather are to be plucked while sweet and given to the poor of today .
Consider this all with an open mind … … and enact it all with an open Heart .
Thank you .
