I kinda got taken with the banquet/cook idea proposed by kendall early on in this thread. I got God in a Julia Child suit. Don't think I could go so far as to worship, but I sure could delight in a God like that.

If God exists and really is *G*O*D* it ain't Tinkerbell. God's reality does NOT depend on my belief. In fact, maybe, vice versa...

I am blessed to have 4 grandchildren. A few years back, once when I was telling some folks after a church service what was so great about that, our minister (at that time with NO grandchildren) chided me with the "fact" that God had no grandchildren -- all of us His sons and daughters, first generation only. My rejoinder was if there are no grandchildren in Heaven it wasn't. And I wouldn't go.

Shycat (thank you, dear) knows. Eternity has already started. Heaven is now. Whether you believe or not, you're there. Tune your harp, pull up a cloud and sing. God's asking for a chorus of "I Can't Stop Loving You"...    Tw
