Heaven

Early Christians were preoccupied with Heaven.  The Apostle Paul wrote to live is Christ to die is gain.  I desire to depart and be with Christ which far much better.  Phil 1:21, 23 – If you were to inherit something would you not want to know what you were getting before you received it?  
We know because of sin we will die.  The only question is where we will go.  Now for those of us that are Christians we will go to heaven.   Are you looking forward to going to Heaven?
Do you think as John Eldrede wrote in the Journey of Desire that Heaven is and unending church service?  Or a time where you are assigned a cloud to sit on where you play a harp all the time?
Why do you think the writers of scripture present Heaven as a garden, a city a kingdom?  They do this because these are things we understand- it helps our finite minds bridge from what we know to what we do not understand.  
Alcorn says he believes our first glimpse of Heaven will cause us to gasp in amazement and delight.  And each thing will be new and wonderful.
