heaven

Have you ever wondered about the next life, the afterlife, the forever here after? Have you wondered what you will think about for all of eternity? I am certain of the positive answer. I want to explore the negative answer or what you won’t think about. You won’t think about the color of your living room. You won’t think about wood verses tile floors.

Heaven or Hell, Jesus. Don’t you think you should start thinking about Jesus today? If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things that are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on things on the earth. Colossians 3:1-2
