Some people say that God has taken them to heaven. Personally I don't see the point. And anyway - I saw heaven enacted before me just yesterday at Dinner Club.
Richard and I started Dinner Club 3 years ago with the "Fish Festival". It was the Friday night before Good Friday and we invited 2 of our single friends and another family to join us for dinner. Everyone brought a main course which featured fish. Since then we've had lots of Dinner Club nights and days together. Both our single friends are now married (not to each other). Our group has grown to have a potential of 18 people at dinner. Each time we pick a theme and someone takes a turn to host. To me, it's like heaven. We are a diverse group: different church backgrounds, cultures, family structures, ages. Sometimes we have communion together and pray, sometimes we just eat and laugh, one time we even sang! Yesterday was the first Dinner Club that Cameron and Jane have been to. It looked like they were enjoying themselves.
Why settle for a vision of heaven when you can have a more tangible expression of God's love and grace towards you in the form of friends who can be God with skin on.....
