90 Minutes in Heaven
I died
on January 18, 1989.
I was the father
of three children,
the husband
of a wonderful wife.
A man with a great future.
I was 38 years old.
You comin'?
Oh, honey, you know.
It's not gonna
stop me from asking.
I would feel so terrible having six new
students start with a substitute teacher.
I still can't convince
my wife to have a...
a lovely weekend
with her husband.
We can sleep in,
order room service.
Room service?
There probably
isn't room service, but...
We could... We could, uh, pick up some
hamburgers and some strawberry milk shakes.
Oh. You're getting me.
I'm listening.
Get all cozy. Put on
some "Love Me Tender. "
Ohh.
I think we're
in a jailhouse rock now.
Ohh. How you doing?
Did you sleep well?
Uh-huh.
Yeah?
Yeah.
I think you're heavier. Uh, yeah.
Did you grow again?
Uh, no.
Rain check?
IOU.
Where's your brother at?
I don't know.
- You don't know?
- No.
I gotcha. Oh!
Ohh!
Ohh!
Good morning. How you doing? Good.
Yeah? All right, guys,
there's not a lot of time.
Nicole, no dogs eating
at the table, please.
- Thank you, darling.
- Guys, there's not a lot of time.
Eat your food
real quick, please.
Mom, I would love
a cup of coffee.
Now, you know Daddy's gonna be
away for a couple of days, so...
In January of 1989,
I attended
a church conference
of Houston,
where the focus
was on the growth
of the Union Baptist
Church Association.
I went because I was seriously
considering starting a new church.
We know that God
is calling to us
to tell others
about heaven
and how to go there.
right where we are.
And it travels.
It travels
to every neighborhood,
every continent.
And the prize...
Mm.
The prize
that we shall receive...
is heaven.
Amen?
Amen.
Amen.
Little did I know that some of
would be there
to help me later on.
You know you did something
baptist preachers almost never do.
Oh, yeah? What's that?
You finished early.
Well,
good morning, J.V.
It seems like I have
to walk to talk to you.
If you walk the walk.
I have to keep the ticker on
How's that going,
by the way?
A whole lot better, thank you. Oh, good.
Rumor has it that you're thinking
about starting a new church?
Well, you've started so
many successful churches.
It's a roller-coaster ride,
beginning a new church.
Three steps forward,
two steps back.
It's challenging.
Worthwhile,
but challenging.
I believe it's time for me
to start a new congregation.
I would urge you
to be certain
that this is what God
really wants you to do
and that your family's
on board with the idea.
Sometimes
what inspires you
isn't what you end up doing.
It's about finding
your purpose.
Thank you.
That's it.
That's what it's all about...
finding your purpose.
And remember,
it's not about you.
I appreciate that.
Thank you, J.V.
It's 10:
00.On the dime.
- How are you, darlin'?
- Grading papers.
How's it going?
Good, good.
are in the world,
me at 10:
00 every evening.Is it tradition or love?
Love of tradition.
Very nice.
So, I, uh... I had a good chat with
J.V. Thomas about opening a new church.
He was very encouraging.
I'd say there's a great chance I can
actually start something this year.
Oh, that's exciting. We're
behind you a hundred percent.
I don't know. That might be
the sound of Nicole growing up.
Oh, my, she'll be
a teenager soon enough.
Well, she is
ordering coffee now.
That's right.
Well, my love,
it's bedtime for all of us.
All right, darlin'.
Have a good night.
And I miss you.
And I'll look forward
to seeing you tomorrow.
I love you.
I love you.
Night-night.
Good night.
I remember
that only three weeks earlier,
for not wearing a seat belt.
Until I received that ticket,
I'd not usually worn my seat belt.
But after that,
well, I changed my ways.
a crucial decision.
I believe in Jesus,
the son of God.
I believe in the Holy Spirit.
I believe in baptism.
I believe in communion.
He's dead.
- Don, hi.
- Oh, Donnie, you're so beautiful.
Can you hear me?
State law decreed that a coroner
had to pronounce me dead
before my body could be removed
from the wreck.
There was no need for speed
because... I was dead.
I got no pulse.
We got no pulse at all.
All right?
- Does anyone wanna call this thing?
- Yeah. I got it.
We need to clean this mess up
so we can get this bridge open.
Yeah, I got 12:
15 now.According to the report, the
collision occurred at 11:45 AM.
Well, it's 1:
00 PM.Hey. What's going on up there?
Uh, a truck crashed into a car
and another car over there.
Multiple cars got hit.
Officer.
Dick Onerecker.
I'm a minister.
I can pray for?
Yeah. The people in
those two cars over there.
They're, uh... They're
shaken, but they're fine.
You can talk to 'em
if you'd like.
What about the, uh,
car up there?
The one
with the tarp over it?
The man in the red Ford
is deceased.
I'd like to pray for him.
Well, like I said,
he's dead.
I- I know it sounds crazy,
but, uh,
I have to pray for him.
If that's what you wanna do, go ahead.
