Questions?: Does Colton actually die on page 27 when sonja says: “he was a smart‚ funny little guy with a black-and-white way of looking at life. Something was either fun (LEGOs) or it wasn’t (Barbies)” (Burpo 4). Personal Reflection In the book Heaven is for Real ‚ I read about the Burpo family. I found it hard to connect to the character Todd Burpo because of his devout religious views on life. Although I was baptized‚ I grew up in a Unitarian Universalist home and was never educated on the bible

Heaven and Hell Everyone has a soul. Every soul has a destiny. In the Bible‚ God explains that every soul will be judged. God warns mankind that during judgment we will receive a one-way ticket to eternity. The Bible also teaches us that during this life we have two choices. We are granted free will to serve and honor God through Jesus Christ who is in Heaven‚ or we are free moral agents to choose Satan who will reside in Hell. Heaven is good. Hell is evil. The fact that God created mankind’s soul

John Lennon is a musician and lyricist who I admire greatly and his song Imagine always sends me off to somewhere else in my own mind. The song makes me think of wonderland of peacefulness where everyone gets along. I’ve always that it presents you an idea to imagine about‚ and his idea of utopia is very easy on the eyes and seduces you.
