Heaven Is for Real Page #3

Synopsis: This is the story of a small-town father who must find the courage and conviction to share his son's extraordinary, life-changing experience with the world. His son Colton claims to have visited Heaven during a near death experience. Colton recounts the details of his amazing journey with childlike innocence and speaks matter-of-factly about things that happened before his birth... things he couldn't possibly know. Todd and his family are then challenged to examine the meaning from this remarkable event. The church turns on him and so does eveyone who is closer or further to him including his wife.

who told me that

we'd have good days and bad days

and we'd seldom know at the time

which is which.

But a few Sundays ago, as I was sliding

into third and I heard the crack of my leg,

I had a pretty good idea which was which.

So, the Bible talks about adversity.

The Bible talks about

all things working together for the good.

Todd! What...

Okay, I'm all right.

- It's my back.

- Are you all right?

Don't move.

- Lie down.

- I'm on it.

- It's Pastor Todd. He's fallen.

- Nancy, sing Amazing Grace.

- Don't move, don't move.

- It's just a spasm.

It's my back. It's my back.

Amazing Grace

How sweet the sound

That saved a wretch

Like me

- it's kidney stones again.

- Yeah.

All we can do is give you painkillers

and lots of water and let you pass them.

Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Doctor.

You're going to be all right.

- Jay!

- Hey.

Todd's passing another stone,

so Colton and I, we're going to the park.

All right.

- Giddyup, horsey!

- Horseys bite. Did I tell you that?

How's he doing?

Todd?

Todd?

I'm passing another one!

Todd, it's Jay!

How are you doing, buddy?

Can I do anything for you?

- What, do you want to try and catch it?

- No. That's not what I had in mind.

- How many have you passed?

- I've passed seven, Jay! Seven!

That's a bunch.

I think they usually say you gotta pass

about 14, 15 to make sure they're gone.

What do you want?

Well, you know, we're sort of wondering

when you think

you might be able to preach again.

Okay, thank you.

- From the prison ministry.

- Giving is a good...

He's used to captive audiences.

- Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit.

- She's from the seminary.

If Todd isn't back soon,

I'm going to kill somebody.

And I'm going to start with you.

- Holy Spirit.

- Use an anvil.

We need to get out of town.

A family getaway.

I know a great place. Denver.

Denver?

We can bring the kids, go for a weekend.

- When?

- I don't know. Soon.

No, honey. I have to focus on work.

- We need it.

- We've got to get some bills paid.

You need it.

- All right, well...

- There's no way, I'm telling you.

Okay. I'm just saying, if you did,

I would...

Now?

Okay.

Not now. If you say we can go.

Kids, we're going to Denver!

This little light of mine

I'm gonna let it shine

This little light of mine

I'm gonna let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

Could we sing We Will Rock You?

Buddy you're a boy

Make a big noise

Playing in the street

Gonna be a big man some day

You got mud on your face

You big disgrace

Kicking your can all over the place

Singing "We will, we will rock you"

I wouldn't want to eat a monarch.

They taste so bad.

- You wouldn't want to eat it?
