They were too rational, they couldn’t conceive of such a place as Heaven.

I couldn’t conceive of life on a cruise ship – until I boarded one – did that mean cruise ships didn’t exist? Of course not!

Scripture says that “no eye and seen, no heart can perceive what God has prepared for those who trust”.
I trust!
