If every houseplant I've ever killed is going to be waiting for me in heaven...
No one is building a mansion for me!
My little plot is going to look like a Tropical Rain Forest (with a few cacti thrown in for good measure... and variety.)
(When it comes to anything green, I'm practically a serial killer.)

My first completely serious response in this thread...
We have but one purpose in heaven -- to worship and glorify God forever.
Before Adam and Eve sinned, they had three purposes:
1. Worship and glorify God forever.
2. Multiple.
3. Subdue.
I'm not exactly sure how they spent their days, but they didn't work by the sweat of their brows, so it wasn't heavy-duty work. It seems they never got around to the multiply part until after they sinned. They spent a chunk of time walking with God and talking to him.
In heaven there's no hint of subduing or multiplying needed. That leaves just the third purpose.
It seems to me, even believers think heaven is their playground to do whatever they want. Nope. It's purpose driven by God. By then, I'm assuming we finally get our main purpose in being created.
