Heaven Is For Real: Todd Burpo

Colton told his babysitter, Ali about when he went to heaven. Ali couldn't believe it and she broke down crying when he told her he missed his sister from heaven. I don't know what I would do in her situation and I wouldn't know what to think. Then Colton talked to his dad about the "war" in heaven. Todd questioned it. They were watching a movie, The Chronicles of Narnia, and Sonja told Colton that she bets there's no swords in heaven. Colton stood up and told her that there is swords in heaven because Jesus and other people are fighting off Satan and the bad people. They asked if Colton saw Satan and Colton said yes but when they asked further questions like, "what did he look like"? Colton didn't want to talk about it. That is so crazy and I never would have thought that they are fighting in heaven and if Satan wins, they will destroy the earth. This makes me think about so much and has me so interested way more about what heaven is really like. What I thought it was was exactly what the book said it wasn't all about, like golden gates and bright, beautiful colors. That's there too, but I would have never thought there was fighting in heaven. It makes me want to find out more things and keeps me curious.
