Keep On

I had to literally find something to do in order to stop myself from doing my paper. So what did I decide to do? I took a shower and decided to blog! Hah! After all, I need to keep up with my pace of a post every three days. I was slow to start studying and do my paper, so I'm going to pay for it on Tuesday and Wednesday. But I feel that I needed to stop because my brain is all fried and mashed up. So I think if I kept on working on my paper, everything I write wouldn't be flowing very good. I'm very picky about how I write, so if there is something that's out of place, I get annoyed. And with the state that I am in now, that is more than likely to happen.

Although, I have to say that I've really enjoyed engaging and writing this paper that has to do with how heaven is related to earth. A lot of times, the profs only want to make sure that you understand the things and don't want you to give a brand new "never-before-thought-of" ideology. It's pretty hard to write from my brain and not from my heart. But I guess wanting to write from my heart is not entirely a bad thing because it lets me know that I'm doing theology for theology, and not religious studies. I've been warned before that I shouldn't treat my studies as studies, but rather a passion. After all, faith is what springs theology, so it's important that I'm not doing this like I used to do grade school or first year at the UofA. I know the profs probably feel the same because they're only supposed to tell you the truths and not let their colors out by going into preach mode. Nevertheless, I'm loving these assignments because it lets me get out what I feel have been bottled up inside of me for the last few years but never got to share them.

It always feels like people generally don't really have that interest to talk about a lot of things that do with God. Or I should say that people want to talk about God, they just don't have the right people to talk to. So they don't.

Anyways, I can't really remember what else I wanted to blog about. There was something, I just don't remember.

Oh yeah, many people have asked me if I get home sick or do I miss Edmonton. I'd be lying if I said I don't. I'm not, and never will be, one of those people from Edmonton that move to Vancouver and never look back. Whenever something exciting is happening up there, I do feel disappointed that I don't get to be part of it. A lot of times, it's not because I want to be part of that event, it's the people that I want to do it with. Lifelong relationships are called lifelong relationships for a reason, and nothing will ever change them. I've mentioned many times before that it sucks that I don't get to go through this Bible college thing with my family and friends. But at the same time, I've also said many times that I'm not going to be bitter and depressed about it; it's just not my thing. I think I've lived long enough to be able to know that nothing good ever comes out of being down in the dumps. All you do is look for more reasons to be depressed, and nothing more. I've been there and don't want to go back. So that's why I'm always going to choose to live life the way that I do.

Anyways, I'm curious. If you have an opinion, and you don't mind sharing with me, what is your view on how heaven relates to earth? Is earth the same as heaven since God is omnipresent and God is everything and everything is God. Or is heaven a completely different state of universe as earth because God is perfect, the world is not, and God can't comprehend sin, so he doesn't intervene? Or is it a bit of a hybrid?

Tell me what you think!

EDIT: I have more to add.

It seems that kids are the same no matter where I go. Case in point: the leg grabbing.
