Currently

This week I continued reading Scar Tissue and also read some of 90 Minutes in Heaven. Scar Tissue is about the lead singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers named Anthony Kiedis. He abuses drugs and just have the stereotype lifestyle of a rock star. He goes through so many ups and downs, almost OD's and just does some totally insane things. However 90 Minutes in Heaven is a completely different story about a man who is in a terrible car accident and when police and paramedics arrive to the scene they pronounce him dead upon impact. Don Piper was the man in the story and he layed there with a tarp over him while he began to see a bright white light. He began experiencing the entrance to heaven, with beautiful music, and everyone standing at a gate waving and waiting for him with the biggest smiles. He said he had never felt so happy, the way he felt was ineffable. The crazy part of this was Don Piper was not dead. A preacher came to his side to speak to him and pray to him .. the preacher doing this thought he was dead until he noticed him breathing. This story is truely an unbelievable story and gave me goosebumps and this strange feeling like a reassurance that heaven is there and God is waiting.
