You know, I'm glad someone had the cajones to raise this, since it seems there is always some criticism from other believers on these thoughts and concerns.
I'm an astronomy buff. Sooo... no more planets? Galaxies???? I'll never get to see what He created out there??
I loved being married and having a sex life. None of that, either?
And yes, perpetual daylight? I love the onset of night, stars, quiet, crickets.
And, our pets... we'll never see these again either? I miss Sam, and Jimmy, and other animals that were in my life.
But... trying to bring my thoughts in line with faith, I have fathomed the following...
* Somehow, there will be sex. If not, there'll be something better. Hmm... that's intriguing. Otherwise, it is a real test of faith to say that my late wife and I will only be like brother and sister for all eternity.
* There will be the cosmos, but it will be redone.
* There will be animals. I only hope our beloved pets are included.
* Somehow, our sensibilities will change, and perpetual daylight will be as good as day/night is now.
* I believe there will be construction projects, artistic endeavors, exploratory missions, etc, etc... all to rule the universe with God.
* How much technology will be needed is anyone's guess. But, it would not surprise me if God charged us with continuing to innovate.
* Will there be sports? Why not?
* Will there be vehicles? I don't know... but if you still like them in Heaven, why would God say no? After all, our sensibilities and desires will be 100% pure when we are resurrected.
As someone once wrote, what will we do in Heaven? Whatever we want. Why? Because we won't have the threads of sin woven into our desires and ambitions.
