going home.

my grandad went home on monday, january 17th. right now, i can only imagine the pure bliss he is experiencing. though, my heart hurts now i will rejoice with him later. i suppose he is holding my baby brother's hand (who this year would have been 22!!!), walking on the streets of gold, splashing in the crystal sea, and in awe of the LORD.

you know, when i first 'denyed myself to take up the cross of Jesus' i truly believed that heaven was going to be boring. like one long, huge church service....blech. well, it's not like that at all. we all are going to have jobs to do, we're going to have feasts, travel....yes of course we'll still worship God, but there will be some more to it than that. losing someone hurts, but we have hope and reassurance that we will see our loved ones again. very soon.

"life is but a vapor, here one day and gone the next...."
