Shouldn't we be more eager to get there?
(From book Will I See My Grandmother in Heaven)

If Heaven is such a fantastic place, why do we make such an effort to avoid going there? The sick seek cures. Some even submit to experimental treatments in third-world countries to prevent the heavenly experience. We try to avoid dangers both real and perceived - remember bomb shelters? More recently a couple of people came to the United States with Ebola. To deny citizens the chance for early entry to Heaven, the country set up Ebola treatment centers across the nation. (I never heard one newscaster or preacher espouse a new deadly disease as being an opportunity to reach Heaven earlier than expected.) We drive cars designed so that, if we run into a telephone pole, we have a good chance of survival (albeit often mangled). For those in a hurry to get to Heaven, a vehicle could be designed that goes fast, has no airbags or seatbelts, is equipped with inadequate brakes, and is hard to steer. A good name for it would be Heavenmobile, or possibly motorcycle.
What should we do? First, let's start with what we shouldn't do. That's simple; don't try for early entrance to Heaven by taking positive steps for an early demise. For if you do it , you've violated the carved-in-stone commandment: "Thou Shall Not Kill''. Face it. No matter how clever of a scheme you devise, you're not smart enough to fool God. Remember: He IS omniscient. Ironically, if you participate in dangerous behavior, over divulge in food, alcohol, or even drugs, for enjoyment, and the result is an early departure from earth, you may still qualify for Heaven. However, if you do these things hoping to shorten your time on earth, you don't qualify. (Dang, no loopholes.)

You may make it to Heaven earlier by not partaking of prescribe pills, foregoing operations or ignoring doctor-recommended lifestyle changes. In fact, why not skip annual medical exams? Rationalize that these acts are thwarting God's plan for your departure; and you are leaving everything in God's hands. Granted, this puts you in the position of interpreting God's will, but many religious theologians do this daily.
