Where do you go when you die and how do you get there?

Gaze of Silence Paul Klee

 Rev Alice Goodman

One small boy asks his mother a question and then they both put the question to Rev Alice Goodman.  We are standing there and we wonder how she will answer this!  How would you?  If you haven't a quick answer here is my best attempt at recording what she said: " When you die, you go to God and that is happiness, total happiness, no crying, no unhappiness just happiness, and the way we know about this is from Jesus who was the only one who came from there to tell us.  Small boy listens with full attention and she proceeds with the question of how you get there by believing that is true.  Small boy totally satisfied for the moment and we are too.  Are you?

The other remarkable thing about this lady vicar is the way she looks at children and the way they are completely transfixed by the attention given, there is nothing which comes between the child and her, nothing between the child and attention.  Is the attention the same as God? Is the attention the link between the source of the attention and the one who receives it?  You can find Rev Alice at St Vigor's Church, Fulbourn, Cambridgeshire where there is a good Sunday School for children and a vicar who gives them full attention when they are in front of her.  If you would like your children to hear the stories from the Bible and you live near by, take them along, you and they will be properly received. She reminds us that in Psalm 36, psalms of David sung by Jesus, that all animals get there too.  Yippee for Algie and Muffin and Butty!  I don't know about the hens though.
