Where do we go when we die?

While I tend to favor the lyrics from Sentimental Man by Dismemberment Plan:

There is no heaven and there is no hell
No limbo in-between -- I think it's all a lie
Just a white light out to velvet black
and back to neutral gray -- that's all when we die

I do sometimes wonder "Is that really all there is?" and "What would heaven look like?". Well, one of my favorite sites, raptureready.com, home of the Rapture Index, an up-t0-date list that rates how close we are to the Apocalypse, can not only answer that question, but can tell me EXACTLY what my heavenly home would look like here. I adore the "Widow's Mite" and the "God-Fearing" mansions, but I'm wondering if they might require a little too much work on my part. Maybe Jesus could custom-make me a nice Craftsman bungalow like they have in Old North Durham? He could call it the "Bleeding Heart Liberal" model. I understand that I probably won't get the square footage of the "Average Christian", but I'm okay with that, as long as the windows are original. [If you're reading this JC, something like the one below would be great]


If you don't already know about the Rapture, here's a little instructional video to help you out:




Or I guess you could just ask me; I'm kind of an expert after reading through Book 6 (Assassins) of the Left Behind Series....
