But, sheesh, ain't there a lot of bling ......... jasper, emerald, gold, topaz, sapphire.......

Here's the problem. Most of all that stuff is just meaningless to me. It is tangible and that holds no value.

After His resurrection, Jesus had a body. He ate meals with the disciples, but was not subject to the laws of nature as we understand them. He appeared in a closed room and appeared at will wherever He wished. It is the Father's plan that all who accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour be conformed to His image, both in spirit (in this world) and finally in body when we meet Him face to face.

Personally, it would not be Heaven for me if I had nothing productive to do. Not a drudge job, but something that I could enjoy and take pleasure in accomplishing.

In my opinion all that needed stimulation would be happening in your consciousness. I get a high out of shopping. Do you think I will be going to an actual mall, eating lunch with friends, running around checking out the garage sales and doing the happy dance when I find a great bargain? These things bring good feelings to me. And I would eat great yummy fatty food but still have a tiny figure so that cute clothes would fit. Oops, what clothes would be available? Any special designers up there? Sounds pretty ridiculous when you put it that way doesn't it? What am I going to do with my garage sale finds afterward? Will I have a house to furnish ? But what will I use for currency to purchase the finds that give me that thrill? The good feeling does,t just come because I get an item, the thrill comes from getting the item at a great price. If you expect one kind of physical tangible activity in heaven, wouldn't that have to apply to anything and everything?

Or do we just skip the middle man. The middle man is the means or the activity. The feeling from it is the end. And, "the end" or feeling is why we do the activity.
