A thought that I had never thought about.

Recently, as we were listening to the radio, Scott said,

"I know Saint Peters won't call my name."

I didn't know what he was talking about, but he informed me; Saint Peters is I guess a person that calls names of those entering heaven. I suppose he is waiting at the gate? Growing up agnostic, and still am, I lack the knowlege of these basic Catholic saints and holy people. It's actually quite interesting to talk to someone like Scott, who has been brought up Catholic and confirmed by the church (he no longer goes to church or is religious, however).

"Viva La Vida" by Coldplay was playing.
The song is very pretty and poetic. I must say, though this genre of music new to me, I am in love with this song. You should check it out.

But back to what he said.
Will Saint Peters call MY name?

I don't know.
But does that matter?

What if there is no dude calling names of thsoe who belong in heaven?

But what if there is?

Would he call my name?
Would he call his name?
Would he call our names?

I wonder.

I have not been a saint, but I have not been Hitler, either.

I wonder.

Will he?

I don't know if I should even bother wondering.

But the song got me thinking.

Will Saint Peters call my name?

Better yet,

Will Saint Peters call YOUR name?
