	:: The fundamental reason heaven is so life-transforming is not what is there but Who is there. Heaven does not contain God. God contains heaven. Heaven is relative to God, God is not relative to heaven. Heaven is heaven only because it is the full presence of God. Without God, whatever else heaven may have becomes completely worthless. So does earth. (St. ~~Paulâ€™s~~ word for it, in Philippians 3, was skubala, which the old Douay and King James Bibles translated "dung.") And with God, nothing else is needed.		:: The fundamental reason heaven is so life-transforming is not what is there but Who is there. Heaven does not contain God. God contains heaven.

			:: Heaven isn't just this life intensified and extended. It's transposed, transfigured. All the happiness we have here, and more. Colton's experience, as far as it is narrated, is fairly flat and uninspiring vision of Heaven. He didn't take on the mind of God and know as he is known. Didn't have the kind of mystical experience that Paul did--as far as we know, which is limited to what his father told us.
