Welcome!
Welcome to the Clear Lake United Methodist Church worship blog. This is a place where we can continue the discussions we began in Sunday morning worship. Ask or say anything - you may even choose to post anonymously. Feel free to disagree and to offer your own insights - this will help discussion! Difficult questions, theological or practical are welcome. I hope this blog is a helpful tool for deepening your faith.
Instructions for Getting Started
"Blogging" may be new to some of us. Have no fear! You won't mess anything up or hurt yourself by giving it a try.
A "blog" (short for "web log") consists of several articles or questions (called "posts") that are written by the blog administrator and the comments of anyone and everyone else. In this blog, each post has a bold blue title and is located on the left side of the page. You can read the post right there on the homepage.
To read the comments other people have made about that post, click on the word "comments" at the bottom right of each post.
After you read the comments, you can add your own comment by typing in the "Leave Your Comment" box on the right side of the page.
There is no need to create a user name and password. Instead, just click the bullet that says "Other" and write your name. (If you wish to remain anonymous, then click the bullet that says "Anonymous"). When you you have finished writing your comment, click "Publish Your Comment."
You're finished! Your comment will find its way to the Blog's main page shortly.
Repeat these steps for as many comments as you'd like to make. Happy blogging!

I believe that heaven will be quite similar to our worship service except that it will be quite evident that we will be in the intimate prescence of God. We will be in continuous fellowship with other believers, experiencing the glory of God and in constant worship and praise of God. If you were a non believer, you would not like it at all. Although I agree that we should live a life of serving others and bringing as much of the prescence of Jesus to others as possible, I do not think that our goal should be to try to create a heaven on Earth. Earth will always be a place of suffering and a place of false accomplishments.
As a kid, I used to picture heaven as a place where I would sit in my cloud-room and have access to playing all the Sega video games I wanted.
Now I don't picture "activities" such as video-game-playing in heaven. Instead, I picture heaven as the eternal consummation of our earthly relationship with God.
Who has ever been so wrapped up in something that it has consumed most of their waking hours - maybe a fad diet, or a new crush, or a celebrity, or even a job? How much better can it be to be enveloped, wholly immersed, in God's love so that it repaces food and sleep and even breath? In that heaven I will forever joyfully sing God's praises.
