Laughing Babies and Bob Dylan
Nikki found this. I just watched it, and for some reason, thought about heaven, of all things.
Columnist Joel Stein once bemoaned the idea of heaven. "Harps and clouds" and all that. Pretty boring, he says.
I'd have to agree. Then again, the harps-and-clouds idea of the Kingdom of God, in its fullness, isn't in the Bible. What is in the Bible is a picture of restoration, of things set right, of the lame leaping like deer, the blind opening their eyes, and the deaf hearing and singing.
No more pain. No more evil. Just pure joy.
Bob Dylan once famously described heaven as "echoes of laughter." I like that.
I didn't know babies could laugh like that! Talk about pure joy! What a miracle... and an entertaining one at that!

This is my first visit to the Blog of Awesomeness and I have to say, it is quite awesome! It made me laugh, sigh, and almost cry. I can't wait to see your future posts. Blessings!

Oh if only we were all so easily entertained... The new ps4 would be a $500 tone machine.
