Everyone is trying
To get to the barThe name of the barThe bar is called heavenThe band in heavenThey play my favorite songPlay it one more timePlay it all night longHeavenHeaven is a placeA place where nothingNothing ever happensHeavenHeaven is a placeA place where nothingNothing ever happensThere is a partyEveryone is thereEveryone will leaveAt exactly the same timeIt's hard to imagine thatNothing at allCould be so excitingCould be this much funHeavenHeaven is a placeA place where nothingNothing ever happensHeavenHeaven is a placeA place where nothingNothing ever happensWhen this kiss is overIt will start againIt will not be any differentIt will be exactly the sameIt's hard to imagineThat nothing at allCould be so excitingCould be this much funHeavenHeaven is a placeA place where nothingNothing ever happensHeavenHeaven is a placeA place where nothingNothing ever happens

Richard and Robert are arguing again on their respective blogs about christianity and the fatuous beliefs that Robert holds. Insane, inane, asinine and nonsensical things like: creationism; Adam and Eve propagating the world only 10,000 years ago; Noah repopulating it after a flood which wiped out everyone only 4,500 years ago; the existence of heaven, hell and angels etc.
This got me thinking about what I think is heaven. When I used to work, doing things I really didn't want to do for people who I didn't really like I used to fantasise about having the opportunity to just do what I want to do, whenever I want to do it. The opportunity to sit and read a book, doze in the sun, listen to National Radio etc. Now I can do these things - without guilt and without feeling pressured into 'doing something useful'.
Of course I do get out and about doing gardening, going walking, kayaking and playing some sports which balances out the 'lazing' but at the moment I feel fatigued and spend more time thinking than doing. Soon I will get back some energy and will, when I'm able to drive again, go to the gym and to tennis or golf but at present 'heaven' for me is " a place. A place where nothing. Nothing ever happens"
Sorry Robert.

Have a safe trip. I'll entertain Robert while you are away.
You and Dave and Jerry just need to take the opportunity to receive the Blessed Eucharist.
Hey, I can cut some bread into circles and eat it. Easy peasy.
It will not be Jesus.
Good. Vegemite is tastier and doesn't have all the gristly bits.
I don't want to eat Jesus, or anybody else. It's all bullshit Robert. Wake up.
Jesus wants you to eat Him after confession of course.
That's just a big bit weird.
