  • It started in a place of despair. of thinking, i'm so fed up
  • 00:02:06.082 --> 00:02:07.150
  • In a place of despair. of thinking, i'm so fed up with this earth.

  • For the third time with cancer. and then i had my little
  • 00:02:17.160 --> 00:02:18.194
  • With cancer. and then i had my little kind of freak accident
  • 00:02:18.261 --> 00:02:19.229
  • And then i had my little kind of freak accident where i thought
  • 00:02:19.295 --> 00:02:20.330
  • Kind of freak accident where i thought i had broken my neck.
  • 00:02:20.396 --> 00:02:21.397
  • Where i thought i had broken my neck. when i discovered i hadn't,
  • 00:02:21.464 --> 00:02:22.432
  • I had broken my neck. when i discovered i hadn't, i had just torn ligaments,
  • 00:02:22.498 --> 00:02:23.700
  • When i discovered i hadn't, i had just torn ligaments, but i found myself
  • 00:02:23.766 --> 00:02:24.801
  • I had just torn ligaments, but i found myself asking the lord,
  • 00:02:24.867 --> 00:02:25.868
  • But i found myself asking the lord, what is wrong with me?
  • 00:02:25.935 --> 00:02:26.936
  • Asking the lord, what is wrong with me? what is this huge ache
  • 00:02:27.003 --> 00:02:28.838
  • What is wrong with me? what is this huge ache that i feel inside
  • 00:02:28.905 --> 00:02:30.406
  • What is this huge ache that i feel inside that nothing seems
  • 00:02:30.473 --> 00:02:31.474
  • That i feel inside that nothing seems to shift it?
  • 00:02:31.541 --> 00:02:32.508
  • That nothing seems to shift it? i can have a good day
  • 00:02:32.575 --> 00:02:33.643
  • To shift it? i can have a good day or something goes well
  • 00:02:33.710 --> 00:02:34.677
  • I can have a good day or something goes well or i see a friend
  • 00:02:34.744 --> 00:02:35.812
  • Or something goes well or i see a friend but i still feel this ache?
  • 00:02:35.878 --> 00:02:37.513
  • Or i see a friend but i still feel this ache? so, that's why i began
  • 00:02:37.580 --> 00:02:38.615
  • But i still feel this ache? so, that's why i began to dive into it because
  • 00:02:38.681 --> 00:02:40.683
  • So, that's why i began to dive into it because i opened my bible to hebrews
  • 00:02:40.750 --> 00:02:42.518
  • To dive into it because i opened my bible to hebrews chapter 12, verse two,
  • 00:02:42.585 --> 00:02:44.721
  • I opened my bible to hebrews chapter 12, verse two, and read these words
  • 00:02:44.787 --> 00:02:46.089
  • Chapter 12, verse two, and read these words that i've known for years.
  • 00:02:46.155 --> 00:02:47.657
  • And read these words that i've known for years. but have you ever read
  • 00:02:47.724 --> 00:02:48.791
  • That i've known for years. but have you ever read something that just suddenly
  • 00:02:48.858 --> 00:02:49.892
  • But have you ever read something that just suddenly jumps out off the page?
  • 00:02:49.959 --> 00:02:50.927
  • Something that just suddenly jumps out off the page? it said,
  • 00:02:50.994 --> 00:02:52.028
  • Jumps out off the page? it said, "keep your eyes on jesus
  • 00:02:52.095 --> 00:02:53.663
  • It said, "keep your eyes on jesus who both began
  • 00:02:53.730 --> 00:02:54.664
  • "keep your eyes on jesus who both began and finished this race.
  • 00:02:54.731 --> 00:02:55.865
  • Who both began and finished this race. study how he did it
  • 00:02:55.932 --> 00:02:58.234
  • And finished this race. study how he did it because he never lost sight
  • 00:02:58.301 --> 00:03:01.004
  • Study how he did it because he never lost sight of where he was headed,
  • 00:03:01.070 --> 00:03:02.238
  • Because he never lost sight of where he was headed, that glorious finish
  • 00:03:02.305 --> 00:03:03.339
  • Of where he was headed, that glorious finish in and with god
  • 00:03:03.406 --> 00:03:04.707
  • That glorious finish in and with god so he could put up
  • 00:03:04.774 --> 00:03:05.808
  • In and with god so he could put up with anything along the way."
  • 00:03:05.875 --> 00:03:07.243
  • So he could put up with anything along the way." i thought that's it, lord!
  • 00:03:07.310 --> 00:03:08.811
  • With anything along the way." i thought that's it, lord! that's what
  • 00:03:08.878 --> 00:03:10.046
  • I thought that's it, lord! that's what i'm actually homesick for;
  • 00:03:10.113 --> 00:03:11.381
  • That's what i'm actually homesick for; what i'm feeling sick for
  • 00:03:11.447 --> 00:03:12.615
  • I'm actually homesick for; what i'm feeling sick for is heaven.
  • 00:03:12.682 --> 00:03:13.883
  • What i'm feeling sick for is heaven. because we were made
  • 00:03:13.950 --> 00:03:14.984
  • Is heaven. because we were made for jesus
  • 00:03:15.051 --> 00:03:16.219
  • Because we were made for jesus and we were made for heaven
  • 00:03:16.286 --> 00:03:17.420
  • For jesus and we were made for heaven and nothing else
  • 00:03:17.487 --> 00:03:18.454
  • And we were made for heaven and nothing else is going to do.
  • 00:03:18.521 --> 00:03:19.555
  • And nothing else is going to do. randy: do you think our age
  • 00:03:19.622 --> 00:03:21.324
  • Is going to do. randy: do you think our age has a little more
  • 00:03:21.391 --> 00:03:23.026
  • Randy: do you think our age has a little more to do with it?
  • 00:03:23.092 --> 00:03:24.060
  • Has a little more to do with it? because i think
  • 00:03:24.127 --> 00:03:25.094
  • To do with it? because i think the older you get
  • 00:03:25.161 --> 00:03:26.262
  • Because i think the older you get the more, you lose,
  • 00:03:26.329 --> 00:03:27.330
  • The older you get the more, you lose, it is one thing when you lose
  • 00:03:27.397 --> 00:03:28.431
  • The more, you lose, it is one thing when you lose your grandparents
  • 00:03:28.498 --> 00:03:29.432
  • It is one thing when you lose your grandparents when you're young
  • 00:03:29.499 --> 00:03:30.466
  • Your grandparents when you're young because you think of them
  • 00:03:30.533 --> 00:03:31.467
  • When you're young because you think of them as old.
  • 00:03:31.534 --> 00:03:32.535
  • Because you think of them as old. and then it's your parents,
  • 00:03:32.602 --> 00:03:33.569
  • As old. and then it's your parents, and then it's your turn.
  • 00:03:33.636 --> 00:03:34.604
  • And then it's your parents, and then it's your turn. sheila: yeah, i get that
  • 00:03:34.671 --> 00:03:35.638
  • And then it's your turn. sheila: yeah, i get that but i honestly don't think so.
  • 00:03:35.705 --> 00:03:36.673
  • Sheila: yeah, i get that but i honestly don't think so. because if you think about it,
  • 00:03:36.739 --> 00:03:37.740
  • But i honestly don't think so. because if you think about it, i don't know a time
  • 00:03:37.807 --> 00:03:38.741
  • Because if you think about it, i don't know a time in my life when there's been
  • 00:03:38.808 --> 00:03:39.809
  • I don't know a time in my life when there's been more anxiety and loneliness
  • 00:03:39.876 --> 00:03:40.910
  • In my life when there's been more anxiety and loneliness among young people.
  • 00:03:40.977 --> 00:03:43.012
  • More anxiety and loneliness among young people. i'm talking about
  • 00:03:43.079 --> 00:03:44.113
  • Among young people. i'm talking about my son's age.
  • 00:03:44.180 --> 00:03:45.515
  • I'm talking about my son's age. and yet, when i begin
  • 00:03:45.581 --> 00:03:46.549
  • My son's age. and yet, when i begin to share with them --
  • 00:03:46.616 --> 00:03:47.684
  • And yet, when i begin to share with them -- if i was just
  • 00:03:47.750 --> 00:03:48.985
  • To share with them -- if i was just summing up heaven,
  • 00:03:49.052 --> 00:03:50.653
  • If i was just summing up heaven, when you understand truly
  • 00:03:50.720 --> 00:03:51.888
  • Summing up heaven, when you understand truly how phenomenal
  • 00:03:51.954 --> 00:03:53.089
  • When you understand truly how phenomenal it is going to be,
  • 00:03:53.156 --> 00:03:54.324
  • How phenomenal it is going to be, it gives peace for right now
  • 00:03:54.390 --> 00:03:57.293
  • It is going to be, it gives peace for right now and hope for tomorrow.
  • 00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:59.095
  • It gives peace for right now and hope for tomorrow. so, it is not just like
  • 00:03:59.162 --> 00:04:00.163
  • And hope for tomorrow. so, it is not just like get us out of here, lord.
  • 00:04:00.229 --> 00:04:01.331
  • So, it is not just like get us out of here, lord. when you understand
  • 00:04:01.397 --> 00:04:02.465
  • Get us out of here, lord. when you understand what's ahead,
  • 00:04:02.532 --> 00:04:03.566
  • When you understand what's ahead, the peace that it gives
  • 00:04:03.633 --> 00:04:04.600
  • What's ahead, the peace that it gives for right now,
  • 00:04:04.667 --> 00:04:05.668
  • The peace that it gives for right now, i don't try to get rid
  • 00:04:05.735 --> 00:04:06.736
  • For right now, i don't try to get rid of that feeling anymore.
  • 00:04:06.803 --> 00:04:07.770
  • I don't try to get rid of that feeling anymore. i embrace it
  • 00:04:07.837 --> 00:04:08.838
  • Of that feeling anymore. i embrace it as a sacred space
  • 00:04:08.905 --> 00:04:09.939
  • I embrace it as a sacred space because it was a place
  • 00:04:10.006 --> 00:04:11.007
  • As a sacred space because it was a place that was made
  • 00:04:11.074 --> 00:04:12.075
  • Because it was a place that was made and i'm not home yet.
  • 00:04:12.141 --> 00:04:13.109
  • Tammy: why do you think
  • 00:04:14.344 --> 00:04:15.311
  • Tammy: why do you think we've lost the hope
  • 00:04:15.378 --> 00:04:16.312
  • We've lost the hope for heaven?
  • 00:04:16.379 --> 00:04:17.380
  • For heaven? do you think it comes from
  • 00:04:17.447 --> 00:04:18.514
  • This side of heaven?
  • 00:04:21.751 --> 00:04:22.785
  • This side of heaven? i don't understand heaven
  • 00:04:22.852 --> 00:04:23.920
  • This side of heaven? i don't understand heaven so i don't even think
  • 00:04:23.986 --> 00:04:24.987
  • I don't understand heaven so i don't even think it is going to be fun.
  • 00:04:25.054 --> 00:04:25.988
  • So i don't even think it is going to be fun. so why do i really care?
  • 00:04:26.055 --> 00:04:26.989
  • It is going to be fun. so why do i really care? i've lost the hope of heaven
  • 00:04:27.056 --> 00:04:27.990
  • So why do i really care? i've lost the hope of heaven and even thinking about
  • 00:04:28.057 --> 00:04:29.025
  • I've lost the hope of heaven and even thinking about what waits for me.
  • 00:04:29.092 --> 00:04:30.326
  • And even thinking about what waits for me. sheila: i think that's true
  • 00:04:30.393 --> 00:04:31.794
  • What waits for me. sheila: i think that's true because when i was a teenager,
  • 00:04:31.861 --> 00:04:33.162
  • Sheila: i think that's true because when i was a teenager, obviously, i wanted to go
  • 00:04:33.229 --> 00:04:34.230
  • Because when i was a teenager, obviously, i wanted to go to heaven because
  • 00:04:34.297 --> 00:04:35.264
  • Obviously, i wanted to go to heaven because it beats the alternative.
  • 00:04:35.331 --> 00:04:36.299
  • To heaven because it beats the alternative. but i thought
  • 00:04:36.366 --> 00:04:37.333
  • It beats the alternative. but i thought it would be a bit boring.
  • 00:04:37.400 --> 00:04:38.468
  • Can you sing, "he'll be
  • 00:04:39.602 --> 00:04:40.536
  • Can you sing, "he'll be coming around the mountain
  • 00:04:40.603 --> 00:04:41.571
  • Coming around the mountain when he comes?"
  • 00:04:41.637 --> 00:04:42.605
  • When he comes?" but, even when
  • 00:04:42.672 --> 00:04:43.639
  • But, even when i was a teenager,
  • 00:04:43.706 --> 00:04:44.674
  • I was a teenager, i said to my mom, "if i have
  • 00:04:44.741 --> 00:04:45.742

  • 00:06:13.863 --> 00:06:15.198
  • In your book, sheila. i thought as a believer, why have i not been
  • 00:06:15.264 --> 00:06:17.633
  • I thought as a believer, why have i not been taught this enough?
  • 00:06:17.700 --> 00:06:19.502
  • Why have i not been taught this enough? like heaven
  • 00:06:19.569 --> 00:06:20.803

  • The best bible study on heaven i had ever read.
  • 00:06:34.784 --> 00:06:36.886
  • I had ever read. it is so, so good.
  • 00:06:36.953 --> 00:06:38.454
  • It is the whole point.
  • 00:06:39.789 --> 00:06:40.923
  • It is the whole point. we live these years,
  • 00:06:40.990 --> 00:06:42.425
  • It is the whole point. we live these years, however many years,
  • 00:06:42.492 --> 00:06:43.626
  • We live these years, however many years, thinking we have to squeeze
  • 00:06:43.693 --> 00:06:44.794
  • However many years, thinking we have to squeeze every ounce of happiness
  • 00:06:44.861 --> 00:06:45.862
  • Thinking we have to squeeze every ounce of happiness out of this
  • 00:06:45.928 --> 00:06:47.029
  • Every ounce of happiness out of this and achieve certain things.
  • 00:06:47.096 --> 00:06:48.164
  • Out of this and achieve certain things. but the whole point
  • 00:06:48.231 --> 00:06:49.298
  • And achieve certain things. but the whole point of why jesus came was so
  • 00:06:49.365 --> 00:06:50.766
  • But the whole point of why jesus came was so we could spend eternity
  • 00:06:50.833 --> 00:06:52.301
  • Of why jesus came was so we could spend eternity with him in heaven.
  • 00:06:52.368 --> 00:06:53.503

  • And yes, you will have a job. but do you know that
  • 00:06:55.838 --> 00:06:56.973
  • You will have a job. but do you know that the choices you make now
  • 00:06:57.039 --> 00:06:58.074
  • But do you know that the choices you make now impact how you will live
  • 00:06:58.140 --> 00:06:59.242
  • The choices you make now impact how you will live eternally?
  • 00:06:59.308 --> 00:07:00.343
  • Impact how you will live eternally? because i used to think,
  • 00:07:00.409 --> 00:07:01.544
  • Eternally? because i used to think, well, we'll all basically
  • 00:07:01.611 --> 00:07:02.712
  • Because i used to think, well, we'll all basically be doing the same.
  • 00:07:02.778 --> 00:07:03.846
  • Well, we'll all basically be doing the same. no, scripture is very clear,
  • 00:07:03.913 --> 00:07:04.981
  • Be doing the same. no, scripture is very clear, that is not so.
  • 00:07:05.047 --> 00:07:06.115
  • No, scripture is very clear, that is not so. every single believer
  • 00:07:06.182 --> 00:07:07.250
  • That is not so. every single believer will stand before
  • 00:07:07.316 --> 00:07:08.351
  • Every single believer will stand before the judgment seat of christ.
  • 00:07:08.417 --> 00:07:09.552
  • Will stand before the judgment seat of christ. that's not about punishment,
  • 00:07:09.619 --> 00:07:10.853
  • The judgment seat of christ. that's not about punishment, it's about rewards.
  • 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:12.154
  • That's not about punishment, it's about rewards. no believer
  • 00:07:12.221 --> 00:07:13.256

  • The judgment seat of christ. but it is what is called in corinthians, the bema seat.
  • 00:07:26.602 --> 00:07:27.670
  • But it is what is called in corinthians, the bema seat. but when paul was writing

  • 00:09:55.851 --> 00:09:59.755
  • Yet there is a lot we don't know about heaven. i think the reason is
  • 00:09:59.822 --> 00:10:01.290
  • We don't know about heaven. i think the reason is if we knew more
  • 00:10:01.357 --> 00:10:02.391
  • I think the reason is if we knew more we would be ready
  • 00:10:02.458 --> 00:10:03.426
  • If we knew more we would be ready to get there immediately.
  • 00:10:03.492 --> 00:10:04.627

  • He said to them, listen. fourteen years ago i was taken to paradise
  • 00:10:15.705 --> 00:10:16.772
  • Fourteen years ago i was taken to paradise and i saw things

  • To be able to get -- and the word they used there for "paradise"
  • 00:10:24.180 --> 00:10:25.347
  • And the word they used there for "paradise" is like a king's garden.
  • 00:10:25.414 --> 00:10:26.415
  • For "paradise" is like a king's garden. it is like if you were

  • Around his favorite place. this is where i go to walk every day.
  • 00:10:33.422 --> 00:10:34.490
  • This is where i go to walk every day. paul was taken there
  • 00:10:34.557 --> 00:10:35.691
  • Every day. paul was taken there and can't talk about it
  • 00:10:35.758 --> 00:10:36.759

  • To what we do know, don't worry about what we don't know?
  • 00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:05.421
  • Don't worry about what we don't know? sheila: yeah.
  • 00:11:05.488 --> 00:11:06.455
  • About what we don't know? sheila: yeah. i think there are things
  • 00:11:06.522 --> 00:11:07.556
  • Sheila: yeah. i think there are things that we don't have
  • 00:11:07.623 --> 00:11:08.624
  • I think there are things that we don't have the capacity
  • 00:11:08.691 --> 00:11:09.725
  • That we don't have the capacity to even begin to understand.
  • 00:11:09.792 --> 00:11:10.793
  • The capacity to even begin to understand. there are certain things,
  • 00:11:10.860 --> 00:11:11.861
  • To even begin to understand. there are certain things, like is your dog
  • 00:11:11.927 --> 00:11:12.862
  • There are certain things, like is your dog going to be in heaven?
  • 00:11:12.928 --> 00:11:13.929
  • Like is your dog going to be in heaven? well, of course.
  • 00:11:13.996 --> 00:11:14.964
  • Going to be in heaven? well, of course. we're talking about god here.
  • 00:11:15.030 --> 00:11:16.031
  • Well, of course. we're talking about god here. i remember a little girl
  • 00:11:16.098 --> 00:11:17.266
  • We're talking about god here. i remember a little girl said to billy graham once,
  • 00:11:17.333 --> 00:11:18.567
  • I remember a little girl said to billy graham once, "will my dog be in heaven?"
  • 00:11:18.634 --> 00:11:20.636
  • Said to billy graham once, "will my dog be in heaven?" billy graham said,
  • 00:11:20.703 --> 00:11:21.771
  • "will my dog be in heaven?" billy graham said, "would that make you happy?"
  • 00:11:21.837 --> 00:11:22.938
  • Billy graham said, "would that make you happy?" she said, "yes."
  • 00:11:23.005 --> 00:11:24.173
  • "would that make you happy?" she said, "yes." he said, "well then,
  • 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:25.341
  • She said, "yes." he said, "well then, i'm pretty sure."
  • 00:11:25.407 --> 00:11:26.475
  • He said, "well then, i'm pretty sure." if you think about the way
  • 00:11:26.542 --> 00:11:27.576
  • I'm pretty sure." if you think about the way god created in the beginning,
  • 00:11:27.643 --> 00:11:29.745
  • If you think about the way god created in the beginning, for a start, adam and eve
  • 00:11:29.812 --> 00:11:30.880
  • God created in the beginning, for a start, adam and eve were not born as babies.
  • 00:11:30.946 --> 00:11:32.014
  • For a start, adam and eve were not born as babies. they were born
  • 00:11:32.081 --> 00:11:33.115
  • Were not born as babies. they were born in what presumedly
  • 00:11:33.182 --> 00:11:34.250
  • They were born in what presumedly was the prime of life,
  • 00:11:34.316 --> 00:11:35.351
  • In what presumedly was the prime of life, which is what many scholars
  • 00:11:35.417 --> 00:11:36.519
  • Was the prime of life, which is what many scholars believe the age we will be
  • 00:11:36.585 --> 00:11:37.620
  • Which is what many scholars believe the age we will be in heaven.
  • 00:11:37.686 --> 00:11:38.687
  • Believe the age we will be in heaven. if a baby was premature,
  • 00:11:38.754 --> 00:11:39.855
  • In heaven. if a baby was premature, in heaven the baby
  • 00:11:39.922 --> 00:11:41.190
  • If a baby was premature, in heaven the baby will probably be 30 years old,
  • 00:11:41.257 --> 00:11:44.093
  • In heaven the baby will probably be 30 years old, those who die when they're 90
  • 00:11:44.160 --> 00:11:45.327
  • Will probably be 30 years old, those who die when they're 90 will probably be about 30.
  • 00:11:45.394 --> 00:11:46.896
  • Those who die when they're 90 will probably be about 30. we don't know that for sure.
  • 00:11:46.962 --> 00:11:48.164
  • Will probably be about 30. we don't know that for sure. that's just a guess,
  • 00:11:48.230 --> 00:11:49.899
  • We don't know that for sure. that's just a guess, but based on a lot of things.
  • 00:11:49.965 --> 00:11:51.367
  • That's just a guess, but based on a lot of things. all the animals
  • 00:11:51.433 --> 00:11:52.601
  • But based on a lot of things. all the animals will be there.
  • 00:11:52.668 --> 00:11:53.736
  • All the animals will be there. isaiah talks about the fact
  • 00:11:53.803 --> 00:11:54.904
  • Will be there. isaiah talks about the fact that there are no
  • 00:11:54.970 --> 00:11:56.172
  • Isaiah talks about the fact that there are no carnivorous animals anymore
  • 00:11:56.238 --> 00:11:57.406
  • That there are no carnivorous animals anymore in the new heaven
  • 00:11:57.473 --> 00:11:58.507
  • Carnivorous animals anymore in the new heaven and the new earth.
  • 00:11:58.574 --> 00:11:59.542
  • In the new heaven and the new earth. it says that lions
  • 00:11:59.608 --> 00:12:00.709
  • And the new earth. it says that lions will eat hay as the oxen do.
  • 00:12:00.776 --> 00:12:02.178
  • It says that lions will eat hay as the oxen do. and the lion
  • 00:12:02.244 --> 00:12:03.279
  • Will eat hay as the oxen do. and the lion will lay down with the lamb.
  • 00:12:03.345 --> 00:12:05.214
  • And the lion will lay down with the lamb. so the shedding of blood
  • 00:12:05.281 --> 00:12:06.582
  • Will lay down with the lamb. so the shedding of blood is done with.
  • 00:12:06.649 --> 00:12:07.716
  • So the shedding of blood is done with. by the time we're home,
  • 00:12:07.783 --> 00:12:08.951
  • Is done with. by the time we're home, there is not one more drop
  • 00:12:09.018 --> 00:12:10.152
  • By the time we're home, there is not one more drop of blood going to be shed
  • 00:12:10.219 --> 00:12:11.287
  • There is not one more drop of blood going to be shed because jesus shed it all.
  • 00:12:11.353 --> 00:12:12.555
  • Of blood going to be shed because jesus shed it all. randy: that's interesting.
  • 00:12:12.621 --> 00:12:13.923
  • Because jesus shed it all. randy: that's interesting. i know we can speculate
  • 00:12:13.989 --> 00:12:15.191
  • Randy: that's interesting. i know we can speculate about things all day long
  • 00:12:15.257 --> 00:12:16.492
  • I know we can speculate about things all day long but i think
  • 00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:18.661
  • About things all day long but i think the more important thing
  • 00:12:18.727 --> 00:12:20.229
  • But i think the more important thing is really
  • 00:12:20.296 --> 00:12:21.530
  • The more important thing is really what jesus talked about,
  • 00:12:21.597 --> 00:12:22.731
  • Is really what jesus talked about, which is
  • 00:12:22.798 --> 00:12:23.999
  • What jesus talked about, which is the kingdom of heaven,
  • 00:12:24.066 --> 00:12:25.367
  • Which is the kingdom of heaven, which is the rule and reign
  • 00:12:25.434 --> 00:12:26.769
  • The kingdom of heaven, which is the rule and reign of heaven on this earth.
  • 00:12:26.836 --> 00:12:32.775
  • Which is the rule and reign of heaven on this earth. how do we connect the eternal,
  • 00:12:32.842 --> 00:12:35.177
  • Of heaven on this earth. how do we connect the eternal, wherever it is, up there,
  • 00:12:35.244 --> 00:12:37.179
  • How do we connect the eternal, wherever it is, up there, out there, i don't know,
  • 00:12:37.246 --> 00:12:38.380
  • Wherever it is, up there, out there, i don't know, with right now, right here?
  • 00:12:38.447 --> 00:12:41.617
  • Out there, i don't know, with right now, right here? sheila: that's
  • 00:12:41.684 --> 00:12:42.785
  • With right now, right here? sheila: that's a great question, randy.
  • 00:12:42.852 --> 00:12:43.853
  • Sheila: that's a great question, randy. honestly,
  • 00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:44.920
  • A great question, randy. honestly, that is the question.
  • 00:12:44.987 --> 00:12:45.955
  • Honestly, that is the question. for me,
  • 00:12:46.021 --> 00:12:47.156
  • That is the question. for me, the reality of heaven
  • 00:12:47.223 --> 00:12:48.457
  • For me, the reality of heaven and the closeness of jesus
  • 00:12:48.524 --> 00:12:50.025
  • The reality of heaven and the closeness of jesus to me is --
  • 00:12:50.092 --> 00:12:51.327
  • And the closeness of jesus to me is -- i'm more aware of that now
  • 00:12:51.393 --> 00:12:52.661
  • To me is -- i'm more aware of that now than anything else.
  • 00:12:52.728 --> 00:12:54.830
  • I'm more aware of that now than anything else. our neighbor,
  • 00:12:54.897 --> 00:12:55.865
  • Than anything else. our neighbor, we live next door
  • 00:12:55.931 --> 00:12:56.999
  • Our neighbor, we live next door to this really sweet woman,

  • [laughing] but we get so caught up in what we think matters
  • 00:13:58.260 --> 00:13:59.295
  • But we get so caught up in what we think matters for the moment
  • 00:13:59.361 --> 00:14:00.362
  • In what we think matters for the moment that we forget
  • 00:14:00.429 --> 00:14:01.497
  • For the moment that we forget that no matter who occupies
  • 00:14:01.563 --> 00:14:02.798

  • In your book that was beyond speculation, that was solid
  • 00:17:23.499 --> 00:17:24.500

  • 00:17:25.567 --> 00:17:26.668
  • Word of god teaching. and that's what i can base my hope on today.

  • It's so interesting. when our son christian who is about to turn 28,
  • 00:17:31.140 --> 00:17:32.174
  • When our son christian who is about to turn 28, was in high school

  • He read mere christianity , which is one of my favorite books.
  • 00:17:35.511 --> 00:17:36.545
  • Which is one of my favorite books. so i reread it while
  • 00:17:36.612 --> 00:17:37.746
  • Of my favorite books. so i reread it while i was preparing for this.
  • 00:17:37.813 --> 00:17:38.881
  • So i reread it while i was preparing for this. and c.s. lewis talks about
  • 00:17:38.947 --> 00:17:40.182
  • I was preparing for this. and c.s. lewis talks about that thing i talked about,
  • 00:17:40.249 --> 00:17:41.383
  • And c.s. lewis talks about that thing i talked about, that ache.
  • 00:17:41.450 --> 00:17:42.518
  • That thing i talked about, that ache. there is something wrong
  • 00:17:42.584 --> 00:17:43.785
  • That ache. there is something wrong with everything.
  • 00:17:43.852 --> 00:17:44.953
  • There is something wrong with everything. he said there are three ways
  • 00:17:45.020 --> 00:17:46.054
  • With everything. he said there are three ways we deal with it.
  • 00:17:46.121 --> 00:17:47.222
  • He said there are three ways we deal with it. we deal with the external
  • 00:17:47.289 --> 00:17:48.390
  • We deal with it. we deal with the external where we think,
  • 00:17:48.457 --> 00:17:49.791
  • We deal with the external where we think, if i just got that job,
  • 00:17:49.858 --> 00:17:50.993
  • Where we think, if i just got that job, if i could just marry
  • 00:17:51.059 --> 00:17:52.127
  • If i just got that job, if i could just marry that person,
  • 00:17:52.194 --> 00:17:53.128
  • If i could just marry that person, if i could just have a baby,
  • 00:17:53.195 --> 00:17:54.163
  • That person, if i could just have a baby, or we deal with it internally,
  • 00:17:54.229 --> 00:17:55.297
  • If i could just have a baby, or we deal with it internally, we resign ourselves to
  • 00:17:55.364 --> 00:17:56.398
  • Or we deal with it internally, we resign ourselves to this is as good
  • 00:17:56.465 --> 00:17:57.533
  • We resign ourselves to this is as good as it is going to get.
  • 00:17:57.599 --> 00:17:58.567
  • This is as good as it is going to get. it is not terrible,
  • 00:17:58.634 --> 00:17:59.601
