Today, like most days has moments of reflection for me. I've been wondering a lot lately about heaven and what it's like. I think about how different people are and how varied their paths through life are. I wonder if there is a difference for people who always do what's right and for others of us who meander across the straight and narrow every once in awhile but have a harder time staying in the middle of it. Then what happens to those folks who can't even find the straight and narrow for most of their lives (maybe never) but find it when they get to heaven? What about people who just get dealt a bad hand and are born into an impossible situation? And what about those who die way before they should? Is there a special bonus?
Is it better to be part of the world and be tested or to stick to your small circle where doing the right thing is easier? Is it better or worse to experience life and repent, or to be obedient and long suffered?
And what if it gets dark on our way home and we can't see the road anymore? Will we have divine guidance or will we be flying by instruments? And just what will it be like when we actually get there? Will it be familiar or a big surprise? Will we actually find those who have gotten there before us and will that part really be that important, or will we understand something completely different from what we know here and now?

You should read the book "The Shack". It's a very good book that helps explain our purpose, and where we all go. A very good read. (p.s. It's not and LDS book either)
It sounds like you have a lot of deep thoughts on your mind today. Wish I had the answers. I do think that ultimately God's "judgment" is individual--based on lots of things we don't even know about ourselves and that we definitely don't know about others.
