That whole "Rob Bell Discussion" that's been going on here, there and everywhere has a lot of good discussion points about it. Universalism. Grace. Judgment. Christian discourse. Who's in hell? Who's in heaven? Who can be saved? What's God's will? What does the Scripture say?

I know my mom reads this blog (my most loyal reader, I'm sure) but I don't know if she was aware that the forwarded email letter she sent to me yesterday touches on the issues surrounding this debate. The email said it was the BEST POEM IN THE WORLD. I don't know if that's the case. However, it does ring with the words I often say, "When I get to heaven, I'm pretty sure I'll be surprised by all the people God let in that I might have kept out."  My understanding of God is that he'll be more gracious than I'd ever be...and I generally consider myself a pretty gracious person.

Here's the poem. There was no attribution when it came to me.
