Audio for the heaven talk

Not that it's the best quality, but I figured, in case anyone wanted it, I would put up the audio of my talk about heaven (if nothing else, to give me some good pointers about how to speak better next time). Enjoy.

Preface: Everyone who walked into the church was greeted by St. Peter, who granted them admittance and gave them a halo. They walked into a room full of clouds made of pillow stuffing hanging from fishing line and terrible smooth jazz on repeat. We were going to play a terrible game of Bible Verse Bingo (in which, of course, everyone would win at the same time, though they had slightly different cards, and win the same prize: joy! hoorah!), but we couldn't pull it off. The five minutes before the talk, after having read the George Bernard Shaw quote below, I asked everyone to journal about what they really thought heaven was going to be like- not what they THOUGHT they were supposed to think about it, but what they REALLy thought about it...

Most people had a hard time spending five minutes describing heaven, which is frightening indeed, being that we'll be there forever and ever and always.

Sorry that the talk's in two parts. Blame it on Garage Band.
Heaven (part one)
Heaven (part two)

i hope this works...
