## Transcript

>> I've already lived such a blessed life. I've told this to Kaye, to my staff and many people many times, I could die right now a happy man.

>> We can have that arranged.

>> I agree with that verse, " For me to live is Christ ." Earth is a wonderful place but it's no comparison to Heaven. One of the great hopes for me is that I know that the moment Matthew died every one of his questions were instantly answered. And all of that torture that had been in his mind for all those years was gone because he was no longer living on a broken planet where we all have broken bodies and broken minds and broken relationships and everything is broken. The weather, the economy because of sin. Everything. We live in a broken planet. And if Matthew could talk to me from Heaven today, which I don't believe is possible.

I don't believe you can communicate with the dead. I believe he would say, " Dad you were wrong. It's so much better than you ever imagined. It was, I couldn't even explain how cool it is and I can't wait for you to get here ."
