No particular reason why. It just crossed my mind in something I read. You know, of course, there are three heavens. The first heaven is the sky above us. The second heaven is the galaxies beyond us. And, the third heaven is God’s throne. I can’t imagine how long it takes to get there. Nor, do I know the directions. But, in a spiritual way someone came up with an idea called “Directions to My Father’s House.”</p>
<p>Make a right on Believeth Boulevard.<br />
Keep straight and go through the light which is Jesus Christ.<br />
Then you must turn onto the bridge of faith which is troubled water<br />
You are on the King’s Highway, heaven bound.<br />
Keep going three miles; one for the Father, one for the Son, and one for the Holy Ghost.<br />
Then exit off onto Grace Boulevard.<br />
From there, make a right turn onto Gospel Lane.<br />
Keep straight and make another right onto Prayer Road.<br />
As you go your way Yield Not to the traffic on Temptation Avenue.<br />
Also avoid Sin Street because it is a dead end.<br />
Pass up Envy Drive and Hate Avenue.<br />
Also pass Hypocrisy Street, Gossiping Lane, and Backbiting Boulevard.<br />
However, you have to go down Long-Suffering Lane, Persecution Boulevard, and Trials and Tribulation Avenue.<br />
But that’s all right because Victory Street is straight ahead.<br />
