She turned to the seventh chapter of Revelation, and she placed her fingertip on the seventeenth verse so that Joey could observe it, too. “Like this one here. ‘For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.’”
“If it doesn’t teach you to not believe in God, it teaches you to fear Him too much and trust Him too little. Knowing that God is aware of me and ready to welcome me home…that also helps me get by. Doesn’t mean I don’t hurt in the meantime, of course. Doesn’t mean I won’t miss my loved ones down here, either. But it’s easier to endure the bad when you have something good waiting for you at the other end.”
Okay so I said I wasn't going to read any more tonight. I lied..not in a bad way lied but I had to read more. And I loved those parts. Thank you for writing them...even as a part of a story I feel like they are important.
Author's Response: Sorry for taking so long to get back to you, but I really appreciate the review. Always means the world to me. :)

Author's Response: Beautiful song. I used to be wary of the Book of Revelation, too; I stole a few peeks at it from time to time, but never really understood it. Those verses are easily my most favorites; they portray God as He truly is, and we have that assurance that everything will be okay in the end, if not in the ways we expect.
"God Must've Spent a Little More Time On you.." :)
I'm glad that Sheri shed some light on Joey on reading the "Book of Revelation, and those words and phrases do have a deep meaning though...
Good chapter... *reads next one*

Wow, the ending about God really had me thinking. This was such a sweet chapter. I'm really enjoying this story.

That's the most gratifying part of writing, when it gets the readers thinking. I try my best to weave in spiritual elements without getting too preachy.
That's why I had Sheri say it and let Joey's (and my readers') imagination take it from here.
