Heaven

In the book The Lovely Bones the main character is stranded in a sort of limbo between earth and heaven called the inbetween, a place where your world is tailor made to match you personality and experiences. It's an interesting concept and got me thinking about the afterlife and heaven. What will heaven be like? The Christian vision of heaven in the Bible is of a place where "there shall be no more death, neither sorrow or crying, neither shall there be any more pain." (Rev 21:3) Obviously that means there will be no episodes of Friends. Also we will have new bodies, which will be nice. "God has prepared us for the purpose of being clothed with our heavenly body." (2Cor 5:4-5) I like to think that there will be a range of body types to choose from and on entering heaven we will be given a catalogue and asked to select one of the following. Personally I will choose Brad Pitt from Fight Club. I remember a priest giving a short homily about heaven to children with learning difficulties. He said that it would be a place where you could do all the things you enjoy on earth. I quite liked this idea. I don't think time will exist in heaven, there will just be the present moment, but I have thought about my perfect day in heaven. It will be something like this:

8AM wake up without a hangover
enjoy the sunrise
have breakfast with Tommy Cooper (special omelette and orange juice)
the waitress is Rachel Weisz
10.30AM have a round of golf with St.Peter at Augusta
the sun is shinning and the caddie is Rachel McAdams
1PM have lunch with Elvis (we both eat hamburgers)
2PM play guitar with Frank Zappa
4PM play soccer with a select team that includes Pele, Maradona and Zidane
the referee is Natalie Portman
6PM have dinner with Johnny Cash, Einstein, Che Guevara and Groucho Marx
Johnny gives us a few tunes, Groucho gives us a few jokes
the waitress is Marilyn Monroe
8PM paint with Picasso
10PM have a few beers with Jesus and enjoy the sunset

I think that sounds pretty good. Now I just have to get to heaven, that's the hard part.
