Spirit Prison

The idea of Spirit Prison has always fascinated me. Maybe. I'm wrong, but it has always seemed, to me, like a second chance--a promise to find the Revealed Gospel for those who never had the chance or, for whatever reason, never truly turned to Christ. And, with the recent deaths of many actors and singers who I grew up loving (not to mention the recent deaths of General Authority members), the idea of the Postmortal World is at the forefront of my thoughts.

Recently, Prince died. He may have been a strange fellow, but he was a talented musician. I mean, just watch his guitar solo at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; and, whether many want to admit it or not, we watched Purple Rain and find ourselves singing, "Maybe, I'm just like father. Maybe, I'm just like my mother....when doves cry."

But, imagine this:

Spirit Prison with Prince, David Bowie, Alan Rickman, Robin Williams, Doris Roberts, Merle Haggard, Patty Duke, Gary Shandling.....

And, even Larry Drake, who I will always remember from "L.A. Law," Darkman, and Dr. Giggles, recently died.

It is not that I'm saying that Spirit Prison is a happening place these days because of all the recent celebrity deaths, but the thought of these people getting to hear about the Fullness of the Gospel in the Postmortal World is a pleasant and comforting.

There are some great Missionary Moments these days in the Postmortal World.
