Thanks W.M. That line is at least half stolen from the song, 'Aint No Grave Gonna Hold My Body Down'. That verse goes, 'Meet me, meet me Jesus. Meet me in the middle of the air. If my wings should fail me. Meet me with another pair."

RTZ, that's kind of a coincidence. Last weekend, Linda and I were walking around a pioneer cemetery and quite a few head stones had gates to Heaven, much like in your picture.
