***May God give us all a glimpse of the eternal peace and wisdom that is the actual reality***

Catherine Limbaugh said today on Rush's regular time slot that Rush was now in heaven looking down at us. I have to say, with tremendous sympathy and respect, that I hope those in heaven are not burdened with having to watch this poorly written penny opera down here. Enjoy eternal heavenly bliss and let this old pumpkin patch lie fallow. :^)

On the one hand, it’s comforting to think of one’s loved ones having a box seat to events on earth that affect their loved ones who are still here. On the other hand, since Heaven is bliss, with no sadness, grief or tears, there would have to be a huge miraculous spiritual component involved, perhaps being able to actually see how it is all perfectly working out and resolved in the end, or at least know, with absolute confident certitude, that it is.

I have to say that I think about this a lot, because I’m fascinated with the concepts of eternity versus the constraints of time and space. And being stuck in the latter, of course, I can come to no firm conclusions. LOL Just trying to imagine eternity is quite mind-boggling to us in the “pumpkin patch”. But I find it’s still fun to think about.

(It’s especially a source of enthralling, and often surreal, conjectures on my part, thinking as a musician and trying to imagine what sort of music exists in heaven - because we know it does - since the earthly music we know is, by its very nature, quite dependent on time and space...)

“He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11)
