  I like that video, but I have to point out one obvious flaw.
  It's not about flying away.
  It's not about someday going to heaven.
  It's about a resurrection, of which type Jesus' was the first taste. Physical, in other words. Transformed.
  It's about heaven coming to earth (your will be done on earth as it is in heaven).
  It's about God's work on earth--a resurrection of His creation.
  Not to be picky about something "minor," but this is something I'm passionate about. Because if it's about flying away, why would I care about freeing the oppressed and healing the sick when I could offer them a spiritual--albeit Platonic--hope?
  Sorry to go off...
  Other than that, I liked the video. I like that he's making it about a choice and not worrying about proving anything.

  Heather, I agree with you about the theology of flying away. On the other hand, I love that old song, "I'll fly away, O Glory."
  
  Since Philip is a pilot, I take his imagery of flying away to be quite literal and physical, rather than the Platonic separation of evil flesh and good spirit.
  
  Those of you who have been with me for awhile know that I'm quite a fan of fleshy stuff--whether zombies or earthy poetry or whatever. I just like bodies and all the great wonderful gross things they do.

  Didn't know he's a pilot. That helps.

  He is almost but not quite Seuss-like. Very nice.
  
  I like his Silver Fern Jersey. I love New Zealand.
