		<description>So sorry to hear of your sickness...praying...

And I love what that article was talking about - and it really makes so much sense putting what the Bible says altogether. And, you know, the earth is an AMAZING creation of God. Think of the scenery alone, the wonders, the amazing beauty...and it would make sense that He would want that to stay; that he would begin a new "world" on this world that we could continue to enjoy his creations and they would not be destroyed. As an artist, would anyone want to destroy the beauty they created to just make a different beauty? I would say rarely. 

And it's funny what the interviewer said about it "sounding like work" - in church Sunday our pastor spoke just about this - and it's funny how the misconception of the clouds and harps and such goes along with a general sense of sitting around and just "being" in heaven. He mentioned how we are created in God's image and how He is always working and why we would think God didn't want the same from  us. 

So no, maybe we won't be sitting on the beach or in the clouds drinking our umbrella drinks of choice for eternity, but I think of the joy that I get when I see how God uses me in one small circumstance and that far outweighs the "joy" of relaxing on the beach so if that's what eternity has in store for me, I'll take it!  

(love and wellness to you all!) Em</description>
