Revelation 21:4

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

I don’t believe in reincarnation in this life. But I have in my past ones. And as contrasted to Lennon’s song, I imagine that there is a heaven, and there more above us than “only sky”.

Still, I like the interplay and the idea of making up for past mistakes as opposed to eternal damnation.

Thank you for a wonderful sequel.

hmm it didn’t seem to take my rating on this story. I will try again.

I agree about Lennon’s line about no heaven – I’m glad to know he was pleasantly surprised! As far as Rashida goes, even though what she did was reprehensible, somehow I still felt for her and couldn’t leave her in the pits of hell. I find it hard to believe a God who loves us would not find some way to forgive and teach someone like Rashida.

interesting turn of events in the heavenly realm.. and I like the closure it gives to the story, despite the religious barriers crossed by doing so.
