I loved lots of things in this -- the deceptive invitation of the Gates of Hell (the road is broad and wide that leads to damnation), all the bits about the Carpenter (and the different projects he's working on, heh!) especially the last line.

It's interesting, I remember a wise friend once saying that it's the fact that we hate it when we've done wrong, that we hate our own sin, that actually shows that we are New Creatures in Christ -- because the Old Man wouldn't give a damn. On first reading, I was thinking it was too simple and easy for Avon, that you couldn't repent after you were dead, but the more I think about it, the more I think it's exactly right: (a) repent, (b) lose your life in order to gain it, give it up to the Carpenter to turn the unworked wood into that which it was always meant to be.
(golly I've got tears in my eyes)

The answer is yes.

Not that I would ever say no to more stuff with the same theme. (grin)
