As I said earlier I really have no clue as to what comes next. In the Bible it states "Man has not seen, nor heard the wonders that await him in Heaven." I don't know about you, but I have seen some pretty amazing things in my lifetime. Just recently when I was in Seattle I went for a hike with Cat (Ryans wife) into the mountains near Seattle. That was one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. According to the Bible that isn't anything compared to what awaits us in Heaven.

It says that there will be absolutly no evil in Heaven. No lies, no mistrust, no negative thoughts, no impure thoughts, no envy, no wrong. It will be literally impossible to do any of the before mentioned. Keep this in mind while you read on. 

We all have friends in life. Some are amazing friends that we have known for most of our lives. Some we have met recently but we feel like we have known them for our entire lives. Regardless, there isn't a better feeling of knowing you have a good friend in your life. Someone who you can trust & count on in times of need. In Heaven I believe you will know everyone just as well as you know yourself. You will not see anyone whom you don't know everything about. Everyone will seem like the most amazing best friend you have ever known.

Where will we live?
Lets now look at where we will be spending our eternity. The Bible mentions a city where we will live. The city is called New Jerusalem. In Revelation it describes this city. Here is a passage describing the size of this city...

Revelation 21:15 The angel who talked to me held in his hand a gold measuring stick to measure the city, its gates, and its walls. 16 When he measured it, he found it was a square, as wide as it was long. In fact, it was in the form of a cube, for its length and width and height were each 1400 miles.

Try to take a moment and think about the vast size of this city. What wonders will await us here? The Bible also states that God has prepared a place for each of us. Our own personal mansion. Think back to everything and anything you have ever wanted. I am sure you will have all of those things and so much more. No house you have ever seen on earth will compare to what awaits you. Remember God is infinate in all ways. He has infinate space to use as he sees fit. Nothing will be impossible.

One of my favorite things to do is to go outside and look up at the sky.
I try to think about what is out there. I like to think of the Universe as
God's Playground.
Someday God might take us asided and explain everything to us. He might  point to the Heavens and say "I created this for you. Go explore! Think about our little Earth. It is little in the grand scheme of things, but to you and I, it still holds many mysteries. I for one have never even been outside of the U.S. Now think of the Entire Universe. Think of how many Billions and Billions of "Planet Earths" are out there waiting to be explored. Think about how many new and amazing things God could be creating right now. God created the Earth in 7 days.
Several hundred never before seen galaxies are visible in this "deepest-ever" view of the universe, called the Hubble Deep Field.
What has he been doing ever since? I know some of this may sound pretty deep to some of you, but it is what I think about. Eternity is forever. Where will you be spending that eternity? What will you be doing? Do you ever think about that?

I hope you enjoyed reading this little article I typed up. I am curious what you thought of it. If you have questions or comments please drop me an EMAIL. I would love to hear your thoughts and ideas as well. I am always ready to be enlightned! :) God Bless! -Dan
