Time Flies

          Have you ever heard the expression "Time flies"? My mom was telling me the other day about how she remembers when I was a little baby (because we were talking about Mr. Cole's new baby) and started telling many stories. After hearing multiple great and inspiring stories about myself when I was under two years old, she then said "Time sure flies". It seems as if though changes happen rather quickly and when we have some free time or are discussing a certain topic we realize how much has happened over the past few years or so. On Earth, we each have our duties assigned by God to fulfill and our own personal goals to accomplish. Assuming the average life expectancy is about 80 years, you spend about 1/4 of your life in school, 1/2 working as an employee, in your own company, etc, and a little less than 1/4 retired (hopefully) and spending time with your family and friends. Life seems so short, and changes always bring great excitement to people's lives. But what about after Earth? What happens when we die and go to Heaven? This may seem like a strange and brash thing to say, but wouldn't you get bored living in heaven for eternity? On Earth, there is always something going on each day and we are motivated to get up and work each day for specific reasons. In heaven, is there work? What is it like to not have a body? I think that the answer to those questions can be summed up in the question, "What is it like to be in communion with God"?
          Of course, no one (that currently resides on Earth) actually knows what it is like to be in perfect communion with God, but using the powerful tool of reasoning we can figure out what it may be like. Whenever you see a relative or any loved one, you become filled with joy and a great smile fills your face, especially if you haven't seen them in a long time. You have so much to talk about and you just don't know what to say first. There are always certain people in our lives whom when we are with them our spirits are always uplifted. I believe being in communion with God will be the same except much greater. God is our creator, and he created us out of his love. Just like when we are very happy (most of the time) when we are with our parents, it must be an extraordinary feeling to be with our ultimate creator who is Love. Even though Heaven is outside of time, I believe that "time will fly" in heaven anyways.
