Jesus Had Asked The Angels To Sing. In The Parking Lot Of an Arby's in North Platte, Neb., 4-year-old Colton Burpo told his father, Pastor Todd Burpo, that he'd visited heaven while undergoing appendicitis surgery. Colton had climbed into the lap of Jesus, who was dressed in a white robe with a royal purple sash. The Son of Man then summoned winged angels and requested music. There were halos and bright colors, a rainbow horse and a throne for the Son at the right hand of the Father. Colton met John the Baptist (whom he found "really nice") and saw the Virgin Mary (who was acting like "a mom" to Jesus). Recounted in the best-selling book Heaven Is for Real (written by Lynn Vincent, who ghosted Sarah Palin's memoir Going Rogue), Colton Burpo's story has given fresh energy to a long-standing Christian view of life after death. For the Burpos, heaven is the place you go when you die.
