Good Morning, Ripplemakers, and Happy Saturday.

Remember June is our tenth anniversary celebration!!

We're still accepting stories for our anniversary celebration next month.  It would be fantastic to have one story from each state and one from each country where we have Starfish subscribers.  You don't need to be a writer, just tell us about something special that you did or that someone did for you.  We'll take it from there.  Kathy Baker is an excellent editor and she can take your story and polish it to a professional gem if you'd like her help.  We're waiting to hear from you.  (:>)

What Does Heaven Look Like?
By
Bill Walker

What does Heaven look like?  Read your Bible, you will maybe get a small look at this place called Heaven.  Genesis, the first chapter, God made a perfect world.  He made the earth, the sun, the stars, the moon, all the green and growing trees, the grass, the foods that grew from the earth.  He also made each and every animal, he then made man,  He did all this in 6 days, and on the 7th day he rested.  He looked at all he had made, he was happy and well pleased with what he had here. In the next chapter, we get the information of the Garden of Eden.  He, God made a perfect home for man.  There was in this garden many fruits, many crops growing,  food for man and his Eve to enjoy. All the animals enjoyed a life of peace, Mama Lion could have her children, and if Eve and Adam had done as God told them, all could live together.  Adam and Eve, their children could play with Mama Lions children.  That was the plan that God wanted.  Heaven on earth.  A garden of plenty, fruits, vegetables, a land of grains.  Man was to eat of these, also all animals was to eat of these things. All was to live together, there was no plan of death or killing.  Then along came Satan.  Satan paints a different picture, and man heard him loud and clear.  Man liked the lies Satan told, much better then the truth as told by God.   Heaven on earth ended right there and now.

Now then read Isaiah, chapter 11.  I believe if you read verse 6, 7, 8, you might get an idea of the new Heaven.  There will be peace in the valley, and on the mountain.  It is called the Holy Mountain. There will be no more killing, death.  All animals and man will live with one another.  What God intended the Garden of Edan to have been.  Satan will be no more, he and his Angels, and the ones that never believed the truth will be sent to the Lake of Fire to enjoy the fruits of their labor.

While those that believed what God said, and his Son, Jesus paid the price for will live in the Manson on the Hill Top.  I believe Jesus said he was leaving to go build your Manson. I don't believe he said a flop house motel room.

We don't know really all of the beauty of Heaven,  But I think if we study the Bible, we do have a small idea of what, and how wonderful it must be.  We should know what the other place looks like.  The Bible tells us much about that place.  But many is still hearing what Satan says.  His place has the best golf courses, the best of flop house motel rooms, the best of every thing, just come and give me a try.  I will make it so nice for you.  And above all there is no place called Hell, God would never have made such a place, and sure don't mean to send no one to such a place, if there was such a place.  Satan sure is a good political hack, should be running for President, heck he might even be having a friend, or two or three, or more of his doing that.  Satan seems to always have friends in strange places.  If you look hard you might even find some that calls themselves preachers or leaders of some strange church belief.  Many the Humble Man of about 2,000 years does not know. The Humble man that walked, and at best rode a Donkey to town. Can't you just see that Donkey in Heaven talking to the other animals. "I gave the master a ride to town." Then there is the Donkey, that Mary rode that night to the stable.  I bet that is one proud Donkey also. Yes I believe there will be animals in Heaven, the Bible tells me so.

Re: The Monster, by Roger Dean Kiser

I enjoyed Roger Dean Kiser's The Monster.  It was humorous and kind, showing love in action.  The degree to which "grandpa" empathized with his grand-daughter was charming.  The background in Roger's past gave the story poignancy and depth.
