I have been told by some that, when we get to heaven, we will be given jobs, tasks for us to do.

I don’t really know. It sounds logical. Before retiring, I was a computer operator. Before that, I repaired them. I don’t think my skills as a computer operator will be in much demand there. Certainly not as a repair man for anything. Can’t imagine anything breaking there.

Then my mind turned to lawyers. You know, a place without lawyers, in itself, would make something of a paradise. Regardless, for those lawyers that make it through the golden gates, I can’t imagine anyone there needing the services of a barrister.

There will be no death or illness. No need for doctors, dentist, psychologists. I am especially glad concerning the third. It means I’ll not have spell it.

Then, how’s this for a little irony? No need for evangelists. Everyone there will have been evangelised. Everyone there will have been saved. I have much respect for Billy Graham, and I am sure he is even now enjoying great rewards. But still, I am sure he was assigned a task other than preaching.

That does sort of takes it back to me. I figure I will sweep those streets of gold. My reward will not be great. It’s okay. I will be happy to do it. After a few million years, I wilI have but begun to show my appreciation for what he has done for me.

Still, I do enjoy playing around with computers. I wonder if I will be permitted one just with which to tinker, though it would serve no practical purpose.

The most important thing right now is getting there. Those who don’t accept Jesus Christ as their savior just might be surprised one day that all they did was not enough for God. Some will be surprised that there is a God. Some will be disappointed to find out that they will not be coming back as something else. Then there will be surprised that they will not be issued wings and commissioned into the army of angels.

It is not a good time to find out the truth.
