That doesn't sit real well with me at first glance. I highly doubt if you made a conscious decision later on in life that you would not be allowed in. I think there's a loose concept there that I can grasp onto, but I can't ascribe to it completely.

Maybe if it was presented in a different light I might change my mind but as I see it right now I don't think I can accept it.

I like your blog, Jay. As for my opinion, I think I agree with the principle, however, perhaps some feel the invitation is closed forever if they miss their chance at an open heart moment. I think it takes trust and, yes, faith to even understand that we have the choice all our lives, it is just up to us to step up and take it.

I think we all get many many shots to make the choice. We cannot make that choice for others, but we can make a case for them to make the choice. I think it's very personal & different for everyone.
