Wonder (Chris Rice)

Started thinking about heaven.

If it's the "new heavens and the new earth," then in what ways will it resemble this one? Will I still have the option to live on 9th Street in Durham, NC? Will I still live in a 5 bedroom house with a 32" TV? Will the cable ever go out? Will there even be cable guys? Will I pay the cable guy for his work? When the cable guy slams the door of his truck, will it startle me? Will 9th Street be paved with gold? Will I still be a teacher? Will the Biscuit King still be a broken down building not fit to house a business? Or will someone come along and spruce it up? Will the "limited atonement" fix the over-population problem? Or will there always be enough space, just like there was always enough fish? Will we just do away with a capitalist system? Or will that capitalist system just function without corruption?

Will our lives function basically as they do now for all eternity? Only better? Righteous? And all for God's glory? What will Moses do on 9th Street? What will 9th Street be like in the time of the Second Coming?

These are big questions.

My brain hurts.
