hullo bubbletarts,

how are we all doing? guess what? this post is NOT being written on the ipad :O thats right. i am back on my native laptop! *applause * wanna know how i managed that? well y'see today is my grandparents 44th Anniversary! * wild applause and congratulations * uh-huh :) so, we came down to their house bearing tidings of German Chocolate cake with whipped caramel iceing, and flowers and a card :) { im also constructing an origami bouquet cuz im cool like that }

anyways, as my little brothers dine at the table, i am sitting here blogging { duhr } and thinking about an amazing book i just read called "Heaven is for Real." heres the summary on the back of the book...

When Colton Burpo made it through an emergency appendectomy, his family was overjoyed at his miraculous survival. What they weren't expecting, though, was the story that emerged in the months that followed-a story as beautiful as it was extraordinary, detailing their little boy's trip to heaven and back.

Colton, not yet four years old, told his parents he left his body during the surgery-and authenticated that claim by describing exactly what his parents were doing in another part of the hospital while he was being operated on. He talked of visiting heaven and relayed stories told to him by people he met there whom he had never met in life, sharing events that happened even before he was born. He also astonished his parents with descriptions and obscure details about heaven that match the bible exactly, though he had not yet learned to read.

With disarming innocence and the plainspoken boldness of a child, Colton tells of meeting long-departed family members. He describes Jesus, the angels, how "really, really big" God is, and how much God loves us. Retold by his father, but using Colton's uniquely simple words, Heaven is for Real offers a glimpse of the world that awaits us, where as Colton says, "Nobody is old, and nobody wears glasses."

Heaven is for Real will forever change the way you think of eternity, offering the chance to see, and believe, like a child.

So sounds great right? tiz. i started, and finnished it today and i loved it. { note how that was italicized, underlined, and bold. Thats how great it was. so go read it :) you wont be sorry.
