Heaven

Recently I've been trying to imagine what Heaven will be like. It's not as simple as I thought.

Since there's no hunger in Heaven, then there's plenty of great food there. That I know. I used to think that we would get bodies that didn't have to eat that's why there is no hunger, but actually there's enough food there to satisfy us. I'm sure it's all free too.

Since there is no boredom in Heaven, then what stuff could cause the boredom to go away? If it's all the same, then we won't get bodies that is dull of boredom. There won't be boredom because there's plenty of fun stuff to do!

First of all, there should be rocking praise and worship. Of course that will be there. Singing and just enjoying God's presence. I'm sure praise and worship sessions can go on forever. I imagine maybe a big hall where people can go in to praise and worship for how long they want and when they decide to do something else, they can just go out. *shrugs*

How about sports? Will there still be sports in Heaven? Oinkypig doesn't seem to think so. "How can you play soccer when everyone will be so gracious? It'll be like everyone will let each other score goals," he says. Maybe there will be still be a thing called healthy competition. But in a game like soccer, things can sometimes get rough. That's only for soccer. What will happen to sports like Rugby or American Football? Maybe Heaven will have better sports? Who knows? Let's not limit sports to the sports that we play here on earth.

How about video games? I'm not sure about this one. Most of the games in the market today are violent and not really something that suits Heaven. Maybe Mario Party? It's not really violent. Just that the character "Bowser" can be considered demonic so maybe not? Maybe I'll find something more exciting than video games.

Heaven has infinite possibilities. I would also picture Heaven as a place where animals are tame. Imagine having a lion for a pet. Lie on it's furry back. Pat its hairy head.

JG: Daddy God, are there beaches there in Heaven?
Abba Father: Of course, with white sands that are whiter than any white sand beach you can find on earth.
JG: Cool. =)

Heaven... It's really something unimaginable but worth looking forward to.
