“There are people that don't believe in heaven or hell. Then I look at the deep sky beautiful in its blue firmament where birds take wing and white clouds moving in wind, and then a burning sun in the midst of it. I think, if there couldn't be a hell, how can there be an eternal burning sun that consumes as a lake of fire? With the sun being a star, Lucifer was known as the Morning Star. Lucifer, being the Devil is already destined to hell. In a metaphorical twist, we call this star our sun, and Jesus the son of God, who's face we can't look into from sheer brightness. I wonder if this same sun will ultimately be hell in the end, and those who reject the Son as their redeemer, will ultimately be cast into this sun of burning fire. As for now, this sun will give us time to repent, light and warmth, but will turn to punishment in the judgment days. This alone makes me believe there's a heaven and hell.”

“Not only is there often a right and wrong, but what goes around does come around, Karma exists, chickens do come home to roost, and as my mother, Phyllis, liked to say, “There is always a day of reckoning.” The good among the great understand that every choice we make adds to the strength or weakness of our spirits—ourselves, or to use an old fashioned word for the same idea, our souls.
