Well, here is what we can know: Scripture, Prayer, and Marriage (and many others) are signs in the Christian world. That means they contain what they signify, and since they are signs of heaven, that means they all contain bits of heaven. We don’t know how the Bible is in heaven, but we can know that heaven is in the Bible, and in Prayer, and in Marriage, and in many other things, especially the Mass.

All the people who have been faithful for a really long time started receiving heaven a really long time ago. They have been receiving the very life of Christ, perhaps daily, for decades. They have spent all those years in Jesus’ friendship, and been transformed by that experience.

When arguments disappear, however, that isn’t always the end of the world. When people see that there are no arguments that hold up against the truth claims of the Gospel, that can be pretty persuasive, too – even in the presence of name-calling and threats.

The Bible is a place where we go to “take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ” not an answer book but a place to think & ask

The happiest people in America are married, and serious about their religion. They have the best health, financial stability & relationships

Celibacy and marriage are just lenses – the object is to see Jesus.

God wants a relationship with us so close that people can’t tell where we end, and He begins.
