I am on day 5 of being without Facebook.
It has been interesting.
I would never say that I was addicted, but being away for five days, I can honestly say I was.
I would purposely go online with a goal in mind and without even realizing it; I am logged on to Facebook.
Facebook was the first site I would go into everyday and I would look at updates constantly.
I used to do AIM, Myspace, Live Journal, Xanga and none of those compare to what happened with Facebook.
It was effective, the majority of people I know where on it.
It’s been interesting without it and I feel more productive.
While Facebook is great for getting caught up, it can replace some human interactions.
We will see how the rest of the month goes on without something that became what it did.
Sometimes the quietness of not being online is a good thing.
It allows me to focus more on my goals.
My goals are still the same, be more productive at work, get ready to move into a new house, complete my thesis paper and grow closer to God.
As I work on my relationship with God I am looking at Luke 20:27-40.
Some people ask Jesus about a woman whose husband died.
As was customary, the brother married the wife, later he died.
Then she married his brother and this happened all the brothers.
The question was asked, whose wife she will be at the resurrection?
Jesus started out saying that it’s the people of this age that marry.
Once you’re in heaven, you will neither marry nor be given in marriage.
Jesus goes on to say this in verses 36-38…
“and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God’s children, since they are children of the resurrection. But in the account of the bush, even Moses showed that the dead rise, for the calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.”
This response surprised the people and all they could say was basically great answer.
This stumped the people so much it is said that no one asked him any more questions.
People get married.
People get divorced.
Some people move on, some don’t.
Yet all this is things that happen on earth.
Nobody has written a book of what heaven is exactly like because it would be a guess.
Some people have excellent ideas and theories, but no human has ever said, I lived in heaven for three years and this is what it’s like.”
There is a lot we don’t have a clue on.
Marriage is often one of those questions.
We all would like to have questions about what heaven is like.
To me the underlining question, do you know if you are going to heaven?
In a percentage, how sure are you that you will be in heaven?
I might not have a tremendous amount of knowledge, but I have a great idea what it takes to get to heaven.
If you are not sure if you are going to heaven and would like to be sure, let me know.
We aren’t guaranteed tomorrow, but we can be guaranteed we know what can happen if we didn’t exist after today.
Have a great day.
