Comment from Begin Again
May I have a lifetime lease at 777 New Jerueselam Avenue? I can't imagine a sweeter place to live. Your description was magnificent. With the world turning dark and so much pain and sorrow, who wouldn't want to open their hearts and accept what is given so freely.
Beautiful!!! Good luck in the contest.
Hugs, Carol

My sweet sister Carol, you already have a lifetime lease at 777 New Jerusalem Avenue. It's already paid for. As for the contest, that's been over for awhile; otherwise, you would have never known it was me, who wrote this. I won second place, praise God. I wanted to bump it into ATB, because it didn't quite have 26 reviews; I promoted it again; also, a few more people got to read it :-)
I think, with your review, there are now EXACTLY 26.
Thank you, my friend! And thank you for the six stars, and for writing such a beautiful review. May God bless you and take special care of you and each of your loved ones, in the Sweet Name of Jesus, Amen.
Love, Mary Kay xoxo
Comment from Anne Johnston
You have been very creative in describing the two places we can choose to spend eternity. I am sure anyone who is wise will choose the second one. We all have a choice and Jesus has already paid the price for heaven.

Hi Oliver, thank you for your great review. I'm happy that you found my post interesting. It wasn't really intended to be funny -- clever, yes, but to me, it's a serious matter that I hope people will consider. I appreciate your reading and reviewing it. I hope you have a great day, too. May God bless you.

Comment from C. Gale Burnett
Mary Kay, an awesome presentation all around without mention of heaven or hell. Loved the addresses of Dwellings 1&2; my favorite line was, 'This price has been paid for your redemption, and will render null and void your payment for Dwelling No. 1.' Amen! I enjoy how you back your work up with scripture. Great job!

This is an excellent pair of house advertisements that you have written. You really leave the reader no choice between the two. It's just so obvious. You make it all seem so very easy. Perhaps it is.

Thank you very much, Katherine, for your fine review of my post. Yes, it does seem like an easy choice, and if you make the right one, you may wonder why you didn't earlier. I hope you will. When you give Him your heart, you don't want to take it back, and there's tremendous joy. God bless you, my friend! Love, Mary Kay xoxo
Comment from Kit Nongkhlaw
Too sublime to comment. Too many people go to dwelling no. 1. I hope and pray that those people who read this ads will decide to follow Jesus Christ who will admit us to dwelling no. 1. Congratulations for second prize, Kit

Thank you very much, my friend, for the wonderful review, the six stars, the compelling comments and your congratulations. Yes, I have hoped and prayed that more people would take this post more seriously. Eternity awaits us all.
The promises of Jesus Christ are true, and if we trust in Him now, He will welcome us with open arms.
It's so good to know Him as Our loving Savior!
Comment from Sally Law
Sorry to be so late for this advertisement. My... a stark contrast and easy choice for the discerning of spirit. Dwelling number two it is! An easy choice. Many don't see, that to ignore a loving God and His free gift imparted in Christ gives an automatic default to rental number one.
In the book of Hebrews, it says: How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him....
[And in Acts 16: Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.]
I call this, salvation in a nutshell. Believe+receive= baptism into Christ. My own story of salvation, and it came with a promise for my household, and all who believe.
Sending you my best today as always and my blessings in Christ,
Sal XOs...xo...

Dearest Sal,
Wow! What a lovely surprise! From what you wrote in your message, I didn't think you would have a chance to review this yet. At the time when you wrote it, the promotion was still active, but I really appreciate that you reviewed it now, anyway.
Yes, God gives us the choice to accept His great offer of salvation, or to turn it down; to do it His way, and have eternal peace, or to do it our way, and reap the consequences. In some of my replies, I have appealed personally to a few reviewers, to accept God's free offer of grace, and I hope I haven't made any enemies, but even if some don't accept the Gospel as truth now, maybe they will consider it later, and hopefully before it's too late. It's not that any of us is a bigger sinner than others, but we all have to stand before a Holy God. I wouldn't want to face Him without the Blood of Christ, painted on the door posts of my heart, much as the Israelites had the blood of the Passover lamb on the door frames of their houses, and the angel of death passed over.
Thank you for sharing your story, and for this beautiful review, my friend.
Love and blessings,
Mary Kay xoxo

These advertisements for Two Places for Rent take the typical look at heaven and hell from their generic differences to the eternal choice of salvation.

Thank you, Bill, for your excellent review and the five stars. Although my descriptions of Heaven and Hell could be described as "typical" and "generic," I can guarantee that the actual experience of these places will be anything but. So I hope people will choose wisely, and accept the free gift of salvation offered through Jesus Christ.
There was only one other contest entry "ad" that even alluded to the way God provided for sinners (which can include all of us) to enter Heaven, and interestingly, it didn?t win first place, either... such is the way of the world. Winning isn't everything.
God bless you! - Mary Kay
