This is kidstuff- nothing intellectual, eloquent or scholarly. I encourage others to contribute here, just copying and pasting, according to some book of the Bible they might be reading- Micah, Hebrews, Zecharia, Proverbs, Ezechial etc. I encourage very short comments and posts of "heavenly citations". By this I mean to encourage shorter posts than this introductory one, never more than a Word page. Even my into cite is long. It normally would be only
1 Corinthians 2, verse 9. ( the 2nd verse in red)

Not a faux pau- just couldn't skip the JCC prefix cite of St. Paul. No cross- no glory. This is not a theological debate- just a child's look at the reign of God and keeping eyes on the prize in times of tribulation. I recently covered Revelations: I mark all over my Bibles in red pen, and later can find things I think important later. I'll be copying short passages some days descriptive of heaven. Please feel free to contribute one short passage a day. Please limit theological comments to "I just can't wait" or I tell my kids that dogs don't go to heaven because animals have no souls or free will, but maybe I'm wrong since there is rich food and lush drink in heaven. Trees are in heaven...why not animals?
2For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. 4My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, 5so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power.
Wisdom From the Spirit
6We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. 8None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9However, as it is written:
"No eye has seen,
no ear has heard,
no mind has conceived
what God has prepared for those who love him"[b]— 10but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit.
