Written on a 4x6 note card by Stan Julin.
[Blog Author's Note: I searched the Internet a for a little while, looking for what my father had in mind regarding Spiro Agnew. I found several stories that could have been the source of my father's rather obscure reference to him but nothing that seemed to surely match his thinking. Still, I thought the line made a good title.]

It will be a good idea to recommend letting [people's]minds wander as to what it will be like in eternity - in heaven. No sitting on a cloud playing a harp - what did God save us to? No seeing Jesus from a distance as he waves from the limousine - these are infirm thoughts of one who is used to this life - we are not dealing with Spiro Agnew here.
Do the arithmetic. How many children can we give adequate attention to in our own families? Is God so limited? If he made us sons and daughters was it so that once each 50,000 years he would spend a day with each of us? Is it like Absolom - "go to thine house"? Is this the good pleasure of God in Ephesians 1? Surely we can overcome such beggarly apprehensions with a little rumination. God is far greater in his capacities than to rely on in-home, remote TV communication. My God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory. If God sits at my table now, it certainly will not be any less then. Does he depend on our support or is he almighty? If he is almighty, is he all anything? Does life flow from him as a mighty river or not? With God nothing shall be impossible.
