Today is Tuesday, June 19th, 2012; Karen's Korner #2342

Tomorrow night (Wednesday) is the evening the Todd Burpo family will be in Clear Lake, Iowa at its city park from 7:30 - 9:30 p.m. There will be an introduction concert and life-experience talks by mom, dad, and maybe Colton. Dad Todd wrote the New York best-seller book "Heaven is for Real", as he recapped the comments by then four-year-old Colton and his trip to heaven and back.
 
Former Iowa resident Connie Mechem, who now lives in Colorado, emailed us these comments when she learned the Burpos were going to be in our area, "Les and I went to Estes Park for one of the worship services the Burpos were doing. It was a tremendous experience to see them, talk with them and shake their hands. Be sure to put this event on your calendar it will be worth it."
 
Below is one more excerpt from the children's version of "Heaven is for Real":
 
 
"One of the most wonderful things about heaven
is that no one ever gets sick or hurt there.
No one ever has bumps or bruises or skinned knees.
No one needs glasses or wheelchairs.
In heaven, no one is old;
everyone is young and healthy.
And no one dies in heaven.
 
In heaven,
you live forever with God!"

Writers added these Bible verses:
 
"I heard a loud voice from the throne.
The voice said, 'Now God's throne is with men.
He will live with them, and they will be his people.
God himself will be with them and will be their God.
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
There will be no more death, sadness, crying, or pain.
All the old ways are gone."
~ Revelation 21:3 - 4
