If you look at my photos you'll see my 6 month old grandson, Judah.  Cute guy.  He does all the stuff most 6 month old kids do, but he is a very responsive kid as well.  No question he is a keeper!

I attended a funeral service of a well loved pastor here in the Northwest yesterday and as the service went on, I couldn't help but think of my Dad who had died... let's see, I thought as I looked at my watch, how many months has it been?  And then it hit me.  It was 6 months to the day.  The reflections in the context of another pastor's funeral easily brought tears once more.  But I couldn't help but think, "Dad is 6 months old today!  He's the same age as Judah, except he's six months into eternity.  I wondered to myself what a 6 month old resident of heaven would act like.  Was it as exciting as the first day?  Is there a sense of time as Randy Alcorn indicates in his book on heaven?  Is there a difference between a six month old in heaven and a five year old?  Crazy questions, I know.  But I DO find myself often asking, "I wonder what Dad and Mom are doing TODAY?!"  And I guess as long as Judah is around, I'll always be able to track Dad's heavenly age (Mom's too for that matter.  She died one week after Dad).
