A Visit to Heaven

Meet Colton Burpo. Now 11 years old, he claims to have visited heaven during surgery when he was 4. It is the subject of a best selling book that he and his dad have written. After watching the video, do you believe his story? How believable is Colton? Could it have been a dream? Does it fit your idea of what heaven is? If it does not, what is your idea of what heaven might be like?

I will never believe this story! He isn’t believable at all. Yes it could have been a dream. No not really. I feel heaven is kind of like the 5 people you meet in heaven. Your heaven is what you want it to be.

After watching this video I'm not sure what to think to be honest. I don't know if it could have been a dream or not. It does not fit my idea of what heaven is. I don't have much of an idea of heaven yet, I just believe your not it pain. This video is quite interesting.

I do not believe his story. It is no more believable than the bible itself. Of course it could have been a dream. I do not have an idea of what heaven is. I am not offended by this at all but I still don't believe it is a proper school-related blog topic.

I do not know whether to believe this story or not. It could very well be true what he is saying, I’ve had a friend whose grandfather had a heart attack on the table and before they resuscitated him, he says he saw angels. He doesn’t seem all that believable. It could have been a dream. I don’t really know what my own idea of what heaven may be like, but his does sound good.

I don't know if I believe it or not. In order for me to believe something, I need to see it. The little boy doesn't seem to have it rehearsed or anything. It could have been anything. I'm sure that this boy had an angel with him during surgery. I would hope heaven would be a place of peace and beautiful of course.

I don't know if I believe that he went early and got a sneak peek. I believe that when you go there, you're there for good. It is pretty strange how he can tell them where they were praying and about the miscarriage. It could have been a dream I guess, I just don't know. Yes, it's definitely heavenlike. I imagine you would see people who have already passed, still see people who are alive, and see angels. I would like to read this book in case he really did go to heaven, I would like to know what it's like.

I believe this story, because it seems strange how he knew some of these things. He is rather believeable, so either he's telling the truth, or he's an amazing liar. I don't believe it was a dream. I think he had an out-of-body experience. It doesn't fit my idea of heaven, but I don't really have an idea of what it's like. I'll know one day whenever I go there. I can't wait to see my dad again. Love and miss you daddy!

I think this story is believable. The little boy was kind of believable. I want to read this book to learn more about his story. If it was a dream, it was an amazing one. I do not have a definite idea of what Heaven will be like. All i know is that it will be absolutely perfect. There will never be a dull moment in Heaven.

To be honest i am not for sure if this story is true. There is a possibility that this could happen. It could have been a dream. I just know heaven is a place of happiness. I am not in a rush to go to heaven but when it is my time I will be ready.

I do not know if I believe his story or not. It is strange how he can talk about his deceased grandpa and his mother's miscarriage. It could have been a dream that he had while he was asleep during the surgery. Colton's story kind of does fit my idea of what heaven would be like. My idea of heaven is that it is very peaceful and calm.

A part of me does believe the story. I think if I were to read the book I would become a firm believer. Even if it was a dream I think that’s a pretty crazy dream to have. I think everybody has a different perspective of what heaven will be like. If heaven is like he described it I wouldn’t mind it.

I have never read this book, but it does catch my attention and I do want to read the book now. Yes, I do believe this story. If feel that anything can happen. I think that this story is very believable. I do not think that this story is full of coincidences. Too many things happen at the right time and in the right places for this to be not real. I have learned never to under estimate the power of my creator. As Dezzi said, it was 7 years before this story came to full circle. The number 7 is one of the main numbers in the Bible. I believe that this story is real.

I don't know if I believe this story or not. I think it is pretty incredible that the boy knew some of that stuff that he did. I guess it could have been a dream but it is hard to understand everything the boy said he saw or experienced. I think if he saw all the things he says he did that he is one lucky boy. I would love to go up to heaven to see my Granny Pig. I miss her a lot. I wish I could figure out things that I don’t know.

After watching this video, I do believe his story. I know Colton is young and I think he is very believable. I don’t think that was a dream at all! My idea of heaven sort of fits that, what I pictured, pretty colors, peace and stillness and people of different ages. I want to read the book now.
