Someone recently asked me did I believe in heaven? I do and have thought lots about it and here are my comments.
I definitely believe in heaven. It gives me comfort to think that in the great mystery of life and death, that this time on earth is not the end. My favorite Bible verse reiterates this. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
For me personally, I wonder about how heaven will be. I don't think it will be in what we call a temporal sense, meaning knowing in the way we do now, earthy sort of stuff. I would want my friends to meet up with all the special people that I've known in this life. And, it would have to be in a way where the memory of them is not as we would think. Intimacy issues, etc. Of what they would be, I really don't know. It sounds very complicated but in my own mind, I see that heaven can work it out. OK, my theory which is as good as any.

Serves Communion in Vietnam
The Chaplain is unique among clergy. He or she is primarily a religious person whose skills often involve an implied spiritual undertone to the personal skills brought to the helping profession. There are military, hospital, and prison chaplains among others. The chaplain is often called the "poor man's psychiatrist." This blog will be mostly comments of a general nature, comments of my friends who email me. We'll stick to mostly issues that have some sort of spiritual context.
