May God bless you to, AG.

I agree except that I hope there will still be games or friendly competitions in heaven

But that means we will concentrate on something other than God, i.e. self; and that's when sin begins.

The closest Biblical anything I can find to an image of all the saints sitting around chanting OOOMMMMMM eternally [NOT!]

is that the martyrs are always before The Father. I used to think--what a prison. Then it came to me--God has given them the most supremely wonderful existence. So it has to BE THE OPPOSITE OF A PRISON.

I have come to believe that it is likely that the martyrs standing eternally before The Father can somehow have access to the consciousness of any individual or creature in all creation as though they were that person. That would be opposite to a prison.

Further, that tuning in to ALL GOD IS INCLUDING ALL THAT HE IS IN AND THROUGH ALL HIS CREATION is not an affront or distraction from their adoration of DADDY. It is an eternal EXPLORATION OF DADDY'S GLORY AND LUXURIATING

IN

DADDY'S GLORY.
