"What does the bible say about eternal life? This book will whimsically whisper the truth of God's Word to share hope for life beyond life, in heaven. The Way to the Heavenly Ball is a story created to help those who have lost a loved one, based on the truth of John 3:16. It is a celebration of heaven all because of God's one and only Son!"--

By now I'm sure you have walked into a room and felt as though something was going on in the room that no one wanted to or dared talk about. But the unspoken remained just as present as the individuals present. The older folks would sometimes say, "you can cut the tension with a knife", as though tension was a physical object.
