Is that in the ballpark? I'll hold off on saying more until I'm sure I understood you right.
My question is general ....in the afterlife: from nada, all the way to 72 virgins. My question rephrased is, is it truly "impatience", us wanting to know or do we need to know now so we can live this life accordingly?.... And speaking personally, I'm expecting the big and long nada.
