Dear Mr. President, about going to heaven… (an open letter to President Trump)

Dear Mr. President,

I saw your remarks about heaven on Fox & Friends from Tuesday morning, and I can’t tell you how happy I am to have heard them. It is a rare thing for a world leader to reflect so openly about his own mortality and about what waits on the other side. Even in polite conversation, most people don’t want to “go there,” much less in front of millions of viewers. But you did go there, and there are millions of us who are grateful that you did.

Sadly, the human condition is such that people are often reluctant to think about what you brought up on Tuesday morning. Aren’t there happier things to contemplate than our own demise and the yawning chasm of eternity that lies on the other side of it? And yet, the psalmist says, “As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years, Or if due to strength, eighty years, Yet their pride is but labor and sorrow; For soon it is gone and we fly away. … So teach us to number our days, That we may present to You a heart of wisdom” (Psalm 90:10-12).
