Part of me wants to say having some great theological conversations with Jesus, but I'm imagining a lot of those conversations will be much less relevant and much clearer to me come heaven. The other part of me is really excited about the prospect of finally having time for those activities which I love (or did love) and rarely have enough time for anymore. Heavenly version of fishing and hunting, long hikes, novels, etc. By the way, as John says your "heavenly thoughts", that begs the question- are we discussing heaven (the state we'll be in until Jesus returns) or heaven (the new heavens/new earth resurrection world after Jesus returns).
