How do you keep these Pearly Gates so pearly looking?

I have no Idea.
I do hope it's doesn't turn out like the Pilot and the Woodcutter. Especially if I'm the woodcutter.
When the woodcutter and pilot arrived at the Pearly Gates Saint Peter said, "We are getting pretty full, so we are getting real picky as to who we let enter." He then looked at one of them and said "What did you do on Earth"?
The man said "I was a pile it."
Saint Peter said "That's great! We want highly educated and skilled people like you. You may pass through the Gates".
He then looked at the other and said, "And what did you do on Earth?"
"I was the woodcutter" he said proudly.
'I'm sorry, but we have plenty of woodcutters, so, I'm going to deny you entry."
The woodcutter, looking very perplexed, said " But why. You let my friend in, and he was only a pile it!"
"Yes" Saint Peter said, "but he has to be intelligent, highly educated and skilled to fly airplanes....."
"Intelligent, highly educated and skilled HELL" he said, " he never flew an airplane in his life!"
"But, he's a Pilot" Saint Peter said.
"Not a Pilot" the woodcutter screamed, " he's a Pile It. I cut the wood and all he does is pile it!"

I would say, "You forced me to endure this life ruled by evil without my consent knowing the whole time in advance what the outcome would be. Now you want to punish me for it? I didnt ask for life. I didn't want it and it wasn't worth it. As for the pearly gates, Why would I want to spend an eternity worshiping and serving a God that did that to me?

Unfortunately I am only human. I tried to live my life to its fullest, and I do not regret any of it. Good or bad, I cannot change the fact that I did what I did. All that matters is that I lived my life respectfully and I am sorry for whatever sins I committed. If I don't get into heaven then so be it. I cannot change that.

i wouldnt have anything to say bc i am getting ready for Jesus Christ to come back and praying and working everyday on getting my life the way God says it is to be. So when the time comes i wont need a one chance bc thats what God is giving us now and im learning and seeking his will now as he has commanded in the bible.

I would say... "I followed the Word as best as I could. I was baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I was not perfect and deserve the fires of hell but through your mercy and your son's death on the cross, I wish for forgiveness."

That I have to the best of my ability lived a moralistic life, and when I did fail, I have accepted responsibility for my actions,and made my amends where necesarry.
If that didn't work I would beg to be let in to see my husband and son again!!!!!!!!

I did my best to live my life as an exclamation, not an explanation. I've lived and loved, I've made mistakes, and through Christ's sacrifice all my sins have been washed away.
