Hopefully Barbara won and Emmy!!

I saw this special when it originally aired on ABC a few years back.

Barbara Walters handles the subject matter beautifully! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this again and again on DVD.

This documentary gets its information from both sides of the table. Anyone who watches this will NOT be disappointed.

It goes into great detail about different opinions of God and Heaven. The title says it all. BUY THIS.

Heaven where is it??

An intriguing look at what heaven means in many different religious traditions, what people who claim to have had near-death experiences believe about the afterlife, and why heaven has such a powerful hold on the popular imagination.

I wonder what Barbara (who is Jewish) was thinking as she questioned a Palestinian prisoner? And the flirting with His Holiness the Dalai Lama... Babs really...

Walters IS Heaven!

I make no secret of the fact that I think Barbara is one of the world's most attractive women. So, when I found out she was doing a special on heaven ... I should have just shown her my scrapbook of her career. I keep it under my bed for easy access when I'm feeling lonely or everyone else is out of the house and I have some time to do whatever I want.

And when I'm done, I don't feel the shame I do when I read Star Jones' book or listen to a Clay Aiken CD. March 1, 2007
