Were you, perhaps, wondering, as I was, what, exactly, happened next?
Well........
Were you surprised I made it there?

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 1 John 3:2 KJV
I think I would have leaned toward "Hurry-in, quick!!! Before He comes back! Yeah, you too!!" hoping that maybe I wouldn't get the treatment of the man who owed that big debt and was forgiven and then went out and threw someone in prison that owed him a few dolars!
"Yeah, uh-huh, I remember, God, but blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy, and just look who all I was merciful to while You were away?"
You know Cindy, there is going to be 3 surprises in Heaven.
1) There will be folks there that we didn't think would make it.
2) There will be some missing that we just knew would be there.
and
#3) You and I are going to be there!!
