Eternity

A brief thought, taken out of many;
eternity seems such a crazy long time,
and I have thought that the new heaven/earth might get boring.
But maybe it's simple,
and when we "lose track of time",
that's what it will be like; that's a picture of eternity.

We'll look up from the conversation we were having with Jael, Rich Mullins, Bathsheba, and Grandpa,
thirty years will have passed,
and Jesus will come sit with us for a couple hundred more while Mother Theresa, St. Francis, Tamar, and the cross-thief come and join.
