THE SHOW

You’re on your way to work, when some guy cuts you off and you swerve off the road apparently out of control. Just as you’re about to smash into a tree, a helpful “Messenger” plucks you out of the vehicle and takes you to the passenger lounge for your trip to the Pearly Gates. The only problem is that you weren’t out of control at all. Even though the car did smash into the tree, you weren’t going to be hurt at all, just a little shaken and worried about what your boss would say about being late again. You had everything under control, right? Wrong; you didn’t. None of us really do, even though we like to think so. Heaven Can Wait shows us a few of the marvelous things that can happen when we relax and stop trying to keep everything under control. Nobody’s perfect and mistakes happen. But, every once in awhile, it’s the mistake or that chance meeting that changes your life in the best possible way. It isn’t about avoiding all possibility of mistake or chance, but knowing how to receive what life delivers. We can’t rely on what we arbitrarily decide needs to happen, but what our heart tells us should be, if we would only stop to listen. Heaven Can Wait will show you how to do that. – Paul Vandevert, Director
