Three things a good dad wants his kids to do. (These are also three things our heavenly Father wants from all of us.)

Heaven Is A Party Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jun 24, 2013

Heaven is party-central, and the party starts now, but doesn't get into full gear till we get to Heaven, or when Jesus returns--whichever comes first.
