I'm not the one that believes that God has a 'SPECIAL' place for me because I'm SPECIAL.
God has a 'special' place for us all because HE is 'special'. That special place is bein' with Him...bein' in His presence.
But livin' a life here on earth and havin' a personal relationship with our Creator...without takin' anything in the afterlife into consideration...is a pretty good way to live.
