Each passing year finds me more and more grinch-like on the topic of religion, but even I had to smile while listening in on this conversation between an elderly couple in the coffee shop:
Man: Do you think we’ll be able to find each other in heaven?
Woman: Why wouldn’t we be able to find each other?
Man: We won’t have our bodies.
Woman: Oh. How will we find each other?
I don’t believe, but I hope they find a way.
That is pretty cute. And an intriguing question! :)
How can it be heaven if we don’t have our bodies?
I’ve been to heaven (here on earth) and my body was definitely involved!
Aww, that made me tear up. I’m a non-believer in the theological sense, but this makes me a believer in the relationship sense. :)
Heh, where there is a will, there is a way. But that does remind me of something that had always worried me.
Up untill recently, I had a huge fear of death. The unkown of what becomes of your mind after it has left your body, as I do not have the beliefs of religion myself. All I could ever see of death was a great nothingness, a black void with only your thoughts within.
Recently, I awoke from a deep sleep, still early in the morning, and stared blankly at the ceiling for a while… seeing nothing, but thinking. It was then I realized something. I live though my greatest fear every night. I think, and I remember. I imagine and daydream, fantasies floaing through my head…
Perhapse a afterlife like that would not be so bad after all, to freely imagine, remember, reflect and dream, to be free of all other worries. Could that be the true heaven within us all?
lol, It’s pretty easy, they should just meet at the information booth; it’s about 20 feet past the pearly gates, next to the free ice cream stand.
I was told there would be name cards.
I hope they find a way, too. But I do have to wonder why they think people in heaven don’t have bodies in the first place.
