Ready for Heaven?

Thinking about heaven and being there for eternity; some people dread it. "I'm too young, I need to get my drivers liscense and get married."or "Will there be fun things in heaven, how about basketball?"  I truely believe that heaven will be better than what we have on earth. Why, you might ask?

The same God that created the earth resides in heaven! The same God who created the individual that came up with the idea of basketball lives in heaven. It has to be better! How can get it any better, you might ask?

Let me talk coffee. You see no one in my family drinks coffee. When I was a teenager I got a job and started working third shift. Boy, was it hard to stay awake! Yep, you probably guessed it; I started drinking coffee. It was the worst cup of coffee. I believe that coffee pot hadn't been cleaned in thirty years and the same coffee that was used thirty years ago was still being used. The coffee tasted horrific, but I drank it to stay awake. Today, you cannot keep me away from coffee. I'll drive the distance for Dunkin Donuts, I'll spend my office hours at Starbucks, I love coffee.

Why did I tell you about my addiction to coffee? Because I believe that this is a perfect example of heaven. Before I had coffee, I had no idea that not only would I like it but I would be pretty much addicted to it. I had no idea where it would take me; the many coffee shoppes, the adventure of experimenting with coffee beans at home, the friends I gained, etc. My life changed after that first cup of coffee. I believe that this will be my experience of heaven, except on a way bigger level! Heaven will be amazing because God is amazing!
