But the greatest high is yet ahead.

It'll be when I enter Heaven - and Jesus takes me in His arms and holds me.  As He does, I hope He whispers, "You did a good job, Harold!  I'm so proud of you!  You fought off the demons and stayed true to Me.  You influenced so many people for Me.  You were an obedient son.  I'm so glad you're Home!"

Oh Yeah!
