nobody knows for sure, not until we get there. and it must be so good that God doesn't want us to see it first because if He did, we won't want to come back to earth anymore.
so, what if one needs to portray heaven before he has ever seen it?
we have some hints on what it looks like, in Revelation 21 and 22. although it is describing the holy city - the New Jerusalem - and not heaven specifically, it's close enough that it must be synonymous with heaven.
His book says:
1. God will personally be with His people
2. no tears, no death, no sorrow, no grief, no pain
3. fountain and river of the Water of Life
4. city built entirely of pure gold
5. 2,414 km × 2,414 km × 2,414 km
6. massive wall of jasper, 12 foundation stones, 12 massive gates of pearl
7. God is the Temple and the light
in simple words - absolute beauty beyond imagination. how is that going to be portrayed?
impossible, but still has to be done. however, i will not attempt to portray all that at this time.
blessed Easter, everyone!
packing my bag this morning
was the hardest thing to do
but packing my bag was so easy
compared to standing outside your door
right now to say goodbye to you
think of me
i know you've never seen me cry
think of me
but it's so hard to say goodbye
think of me
what can i say to show you
i'll never give up on you
i will be waiting for you
i will be there when you call
i will see you through it all
and even in your darkest hour
i pray that the Lord we found
will set you on solid ground
i know that it feels like leaving
is a part of letting go
but i'm praying with hope and believing
that i'll see you once again down this road
i hope that it won't be long
think of me
i know God brought you as a friend
think of me
i know He'll bring you back again
think of me
what can i say to show you
i'll never give up on you
i will be waiting for you
i will be there when you call
i will see you through it all
and even in your darkest hour
i pray that the Lord we found
will set you on solid ground
think of me
i know you've never seen me cry
think of me
but it's so hard to say goodbye
think of me
what can i say to show you
i'll never give up on you
i will be waiting for you
i will be there when you call
i will see you through it all
and even in your darkest hour
i pray that the Lord we found
will set you on solid ground

finally some laughter.
i was given a mobile phone. it looks like an iPod Nano. but it's not the iPhone. because iPhones do not come with manuals that read like this:
...
7. Number keys ( show in the touch screen)
Press call icon which show in the touch screen , will show the numbers ,
Enter numbers and symbols ; In menu mode , can select a menu ;can set as Speed dial keys.
Press and hold 1 will connect to voice mail service.
8. * key (show in the touch screen)
Got different functions in different mode ,. In idle mode , Press and hold to exchange Silent mode and general mode ;
9. # key
Got different functions in different mode ,. In idle mode , Press and hold to auto locked the phone ;
10. OK key
In most of the menu ,OK key act a same function as Left soft key.
...
my assignment? make sense of what i read. and ensure this does not land in the hands of the phone users.
how much longer must this be endured?
how can those who deliberately caused pain to others enjoy themselves?
where are You? what are You waiting for? when are You going to avenge?
"let go and carry on, i want to see you fly again."
love to do that very much, then we can all live in peace; but how exactly to let it go?
if there's nothing for me today, i won't feel the need to get out of my bed.
who knows that the day will end up loaded with more than what i can do with no one to help, as everyone is assigned elsewhere.
still, it's good not wanting to be idle.
i was not very sure about it at first, but it was definitely worth the long weekend. thank You.
feels so at home being in a large gathering of people doing the things you do. although catered mainly for photography, that did not stop me from making the best out of it.
7 mentors to 1 participant? how cool is that? sounds intimidating but it's like this stream was organised just for me.
near the end, there was a treat to the best of all the photographs taken during the weekend, and this one is my favourite. well done, LC!
