LZ: I've thought a lot about Lazarus. He's kind of the one that we don't know a lot about in this story. There are stories of people being called back from the dead and thinking, oh, it was so good on the other side. Why'd you call me back? LZ: Maybe life is just so good over there but there's something wonderful about just being alive. We're taught in LDS theology that the dead long for their bodies. That it's seen as a bondage. And so God is going to say let me give you my view. The sky said I'm a somewhere stop and sure enough I see the top. A poem by Edna
