I hope, and suspect, then when we all get to heaven(if indeed we all make it there), that we will all retain that little part of ourselves that made us unique...I believe God gave us all a unique personality, that pleased Him, and how we used that personality, sometimes made Him smile, sometimes made Him cry....but He did make us all different, in His infinite creativity, so I have every reason to believe that He would allow our differences, and our uniqueness to carry through to Heaven...just my own belief, I am sure that there are many who would disagree vehemently with my view....

I believe God created us for His good pleasure....He made us as we are....

Just had a pleasant surprise....Andy just stopped in....came down from Seattle, to retrieve some stuff that we were still holding for him down here....

After having spent the summer living down here in Olympia, with his best friend, he was mighty anxious to get back up to Seattle...Olympia, which normally bores Andy to tears, actually held some attraction for him this summer....he and his best friend(who still lives in Olympia) went kayaking, they bought a motor boat, ,and enjoyed that, and of course the big plus was that Andy had a girlie friend down here in Olympia...but the summer weather is over, the motorboat and kayak are put away for the season, and his girlfriend is going to school in the middle of Washington....

So just BigDom and I and Dizzy were here in Olympia, certainly not enough to keep Andy living down here....so back up to Seattle he went, once he found lodging....hes just thrilled to be back up there, in the middle of the action, the women, the jobs, and activities...

Hes close enough that we can all see each other, when and if we want, yet far enough away from each other, to be a comfortable 'buffer zone'...

Thanks for your thoughts on Heaven. They pretty much mirror my own, but we'll just have to wait and see. ;-)
