This life will seem as a bad night at a bad inn.
What do you think?

Heaven for the Christian will be a place of glorious life that will never end. Joy inexpressible, limitless peace, pure love, beauty beyond description—that's what heaven is. Greatest of all will be the presence of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, with whom we will enjoy fellowship forever. Loved ones who have known and loved the Lord will be there. Revelation 21:2 says, "And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband."
Heaven will be a place in which its inhabitants will be freed from the fears and insecurities that plague and haunt us in the present life. No energy crisis there ... Free from the economic and financial pressures that burden us down here. Free from the fear of personal and physical harm ... No fear of personal failure ... Our relationship with Him will be intimate and direct. I'm looking forward to that glorious day of going to heaven.
"Heaven will be what we have always longed for. It will be the new social order that men dream of. All the things that have made earth unlovely and tragic will be absent in heaven. There will be no night, no death, no disease, no sorrow, no tears, no ignorance, no disappointment, no war. It will be filled with happiness, worship, love, perfection and other good qualities. Heaven will be a place to challenge the creative genius of the unfettered mind of redeemed man." Revelation 21:4 says, "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."
However, the Bible makes clear that there is only one way to heaven, and that is through repentance from sin and faith in Jesus Christ who said, "I am the way ..." (John 14:6). Jesus paid for our sins through His death on the cross. God offers us the free gift of friendship with Him in this life and eternal life in heaven when we die if we will but turn from sin and trust in Jesus as our Savior and Lord. "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved ..." (Acts 16:30).

Well, its not all bad is it?
It is while we are here, that God is working everything together for good to those who love Him.
We get to praise and worship Him, and to glorify His Name.
We are able to have wonderful Christian fellowship.
We have material blessings, such as food, family etc.
But I know what you mean here too!
Compared with Heaven, this is like looking into a mirror darkly.
Heaven will be perfect, and the imperfect will disappear.
Praise God.

This life is to prepare you for the next, Heaven, and it may not stop there..... Heaven is a lot like earth, yes it will be better, but you will still learn...... when we get there, we'll find out the rest of the information.

depends if you remember anything from this life i guess. (if memories are no more then stored information in a section of our brain triggered by chemicals or whatever triggers them, then when we die we will be leaving behind our brain and all its memories? much like buyign a new computer, you leave behind your old harddrive?
