When can we go to heaven?

My three-and-a-half year old daughter, Shelby, is so cute. She's beginning to grasp some concepts about God and she is asking those really thought provoking questions.

Like a good husband I took my wife, Tammy, to Panera (her favorite place to eat) for the billionth time. Panera has a nice atmosphere, I'd just like more food on my plate:-) As we were sitting down to eat Shelby said in a super excited, loud, 3 year old voice, out of the blue, "I can't believe we get to go to heaven!!" She was so excited about the thought of being in heaven. She wanted to know when we could go. I was thinking, "sweety I'd love to go now too... I know I'd get more food around God's banquet table."

Shelby's excitement about being in heaven was an excellent reminder of the fact that this earth is as close as I'm ever going to get to hell. From here it only gets better and I can't wait either.
