Today I've been thinking about heaven. I have a playlist on my ipod called "Heaven" that has about a dozen songs on it. After church today, I just played it on repeat for a while. I'm not sure what triggered this, but I am glad to be thinking about it.

Here is a quote from Jonathan Edwards in The Christian Pilgrim, which I love:
“Labor to have your heart taken up so much about heaven, and heavenly enjoyments, as that you may rejoice when God calls you to leave your best earthly friends and comforts for heaven, there to enjoy God and Christ.... Let Christians help one another in going this journey. There are many ways whereby Christians might greatly forward one another in their way to heaven, as by religious conference, etc. Therefore let them be exhorted to go this journey as it were in company, conversing together, and assisting one another. Company is very desirable in a journey, but in none so much as this. Let them go united, and not fall out by the way, which would be to hinder one another; but use all means they can to help each other up the hill. This would insure a more successful traveling, and a more joyful meeting at their Father's house in glory.†Here are a few of the songs on my list:
