Heaven Can Wait

When my five-year-old granddaughter returned home from a day at Children's Crusade, her brother asked her why she didn't go up to the altar when they said, "All who want to go to heaven come up." She replied, "Because I didn't want to." Shocked, I explained: "Wendy, Jesus lives there. Don't you want to go to heaven and be with Jesus?" She replied, "Well, of course, but not today!"
