    1) Knowing the Lord as He knows me.

    2) the SINGING!

    Amy - Not silly... Chris Rice has a song about that called "Questions for Heaven."

    Why did You bother with so many stars?
    Do You ever play tricks on the angels?
    What happened to all of those dinosaurs?
    Where's the Garden of Eden?
    What causes deja vu?
    Do our jokes make You laugh?
    What's Your favorite cartoon?
    Can You tell me what's out past the edges?
    What about UFO's, taste buds, tornados?
    Why do we dream?
    What causes deja vu?

    It's a great song, with kind of a carnival sound to it.

    LOL. :laugh:

    I look forward to falling prostate in my Savior's presence and worshiping Him for the first 10,000 years or so.

    What I am really not looking forward to is remembering all the opportunities I had to worship Him while I was alive on planet earth, but didn't.

    Yeah. Keep the faith. Regardless of what we have been given to understand, we all will be in the Kingdom of Heaven.

    I look forward to seeing Jesus face to face........ I think. Wow, how humbling will that be?

    I want to ask Him; why didn't you save them all? Why did you allow anyone to come into existence knowing they would never receive you?

    The honor of hearing from Him, well done my good and faithful servant as I began to serve Him as a son of God.

    As I ask Him to my table, perhaps the possibility exists of He inviting me, and my family to dine at His table toasting with the wine, and eating our fill with Him.

    I want to see Timothy first. He is my Biblical hero:thumbs:
    Of course I want to meet all my friends here on Bap Board :1_grouphug:
    (Yes, Dr Bob, you too:laugh: )

    There is a Lutheran pastor I met in Germany. I was starting a Baptist church ( for US mil) and asked this pastor if we could use his church bulding for our services. (he said the powers that be would not allow)
    Actually our coversation was very broken. He spoke very, very little English, and I spoke virtually no German. But he held he hand over his heart and said Jesus in my heart! :jesus: I am confident I will see this Lutheran pastor in Heaven!

    PS has anybody mention Billy Grahm yet

    Eternity

    AFTER "and he shall wipe away all tears",
    I believe the Lord will give us every single memory back that ever brought us joy, wonderful thrilling joy in our life. The small memories of my children that I have long forgotten, the memory of my dad holding me in his arms and my mother and he holding on to all of us together. The memory of my granddad and I skating together......just name it. What it was like the day I told my mother that I finally received Christ as my Saviour....The day my dear sweet wonderful wife stepped off the plane on the Island of Guam....it goes on and on. The memory the gift to the children of God in heaven and the everlasting torment to the lost in the lake of fire.

    I have to agree with most,

    My joy will be seeing the Lord.

    My joy will be no more sin.

    My joy will be finishing the race.

    When I see him for myself and not another then I will be satisfied.
