As hard as it may be to imagine, our afflictions in this life are small compared to the things that await us on the other side.
I read this too quickly at first -- thought Russ was saying that we'll have worse afflictions in the afterlife. Until I read the rest of the paragraph and saw what he was really saying. oops! lol!
Oh well, I suppose some folks might not be going Upstairs To The Non-Smoking Section of the Eternal Restaurant -- God might seat them in the Smoking Section down below. And for them, well -- I don't like to consider what eternal life would be like in Hell.
Anyway, I think I'm gonna sit right here next to Russ for a bit 'cause I think his response was wonderfully reassuring. Thanks Russ!
