This particular Gospel reading reminds me of a dream I had when I was younger…

 

[sainteriksrose]

Actually, a couple of dreams…

 

[sainteriksrose]

One where God gave me a hug, and another where I’m outside the pearly gates, upset that I had to sit outside and wait, but then point others in their direction…

 

[sainteriksrose]

I was sitting on a high-backed chair in that one…a wooden, high-backed chair, with the ring left by an ashtray on the left arm of it…

 

[sainteriksrose]

Thankfully i have quit smoking cigarettes, although it was several years after that dream…

 

[sainteriksrose]

Years later too, the wooden chair made me think of the quality of my deeds (1 Corinthians 3:10-15)
