Nah, man...
You want a small black hole in New Hampshire
AND
Listening to the music being with a Julie makes.
Cuz the first allows the second to be eternal, of course.

the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.

The trick in New Hampshire is not being in a black hole.

The other day my son and daughter (teenagers now) were walking a ways in front of me as we were walking down the street. They were laughing together in a close conversation about something.
If heaven matches how good I felt that day then heaven is pretty cool.


I stopped to see how long it would take for them to realize I wasn't with them anymore and yes, they needed to text me to ask where I was several minutes later. :D

I want to say that's exactly what it's like!
un-self-focused taking joy in the good of others...
like their joy together brings you more joy.

I love this!
I think it's awesome that it's a brother and sister who are teenagers, and they still enjoy each-other's company instead of (only) driving each-other crazy.

I understand that brotherly/siblingly love is sort of going to be the relation of all persons in heaven to each-other.
So I joke in my head that I'm "studying" interactions between siblings so I will understand more about how people will relate to each-other in heaven.
(except not really joking)

I also have a joke I made to deer of the dawn envisioning people in heaven lining up to hug various people who they are grateful to... Paul the Apostle, Isaiah, Moses, Augustine, etc.
(and that one's really joking. Once I'd actually made the joke, I was able to think of counter-arguments.)

-Linna H. of the ever-delayed response.
"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor

"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."
-Elisabeth Elliot, Preface, "A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael"

I don't know if there is a heaven - I kinda think its unlikely but if there is my heaven is filled with all the animals I have loved and those I haven't yet had the opportunity to love.

Now that's a heaven I could live for
