There have been people who had all they could want, many friends, isolation from conflict and I haven't found one who was satisfied and didn't want more. It is usually this wanting more that tears apart the Heaven they have.<br /><br />How long is a child happy over a new toy? I don't believe it is in human nature to be satisfied with worldly paradises. The true hell of Hell is the total absence of God; making it a pleasant place will not fell the void of a spirit within. <br /><br />My opinion.<br /><br />Larry E.nitewrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03968271056094267260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012419859691017821.post-34493594281033963032009-01-17T23:37:00.000-05:002009-01-17T23:37:00.000-05:00Heartafire,"No fan of Crazy Love."

Well, it's certainly not Scripture, so we can agree to disagree on the book, but I am curious as to what you didn't like. <BR/><BR/>If you'd like to share some specifics, I'd appreciate hearing them.

Dropping that bomb at the end of the question is so John Piperish!<BR/><BR/>I'd like to say no, that seeing the face of Jesus is all I really long for, but if you put a gun to my head, I honestly don't how I would answer that. Much to ponder, Jeffro. Much to ponder.<BR/><BR/>P.S. - I need to come get that book!katdishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210738418270395622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012419859691017821.post-8570309146004408502009-01-08T11:46:00.000-05:002009-01-08T11:46:00.000-05:00Thanks for the comment, Beth!

This question really bothered me personally, because I think a lot of us (self included) know the "right" answer- especially when we're talking about heaven, but still would admit that we struggle with living that way right now. <BR/><BR/>Let me know what you think of Crazy Love. I have a feeling you'll enjoy it...Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423832540452016260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012419859691017821.post-85121197323404328812009-01-08T10:53:00.000-05:002009-01-08T10:53:00.000-05:00Wow.

I know as a Christian, the answer is supposed to be no, but it really does sound like a pretty good time, doesn't it? If heaven was like this, it would satisfy for awhile...but you know how you think you really want something, and then when you get it, it's not a big deal after awhile. I think it would eventually get to that...and we'd be back to longing for something more. And Christ is the only thing that can satisfy for ETERNITY. I think heaven is going to blow away all the things we think are great now.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04573016840618175525noreply@blogger.com
