Frankly, I have a hard time believing that God and Jesus would like for us to just sit around in a trance and sing hymns for all of eternity. If that is what He had wanted then He would have created drones or robots.
He created us for companionship and relationship. He created us in His image, which also includes emotions. Emotions also include fun, happiness, joy. He delights in seeing us having fun, just as long as it isn't sinful. In heaven there is no sin, no pain, no sorrow, but it is full of joy, peace, and happiness.
Think about it...it says that he goes to prepare a place for us and will have a feast with us. A feast is full of joy and fun and laughter. It is FUN!
I am an artist and absolutely love to draw and paint. When I am doing artwork I am truly worshipping Him. It is when I feel most connected to Him. I can not imagine why He would give me something that I truly enjoy that also is not sinful only to take it away from me when I get to heaven. To me, that wouldn't be much of a heaven...to only sit in a transe for eternity singing hymns. Rather, I can see people having fun glorifying God in the way God made them to glorify Him - by using their talents and gifts. We are His children. Would a good earthly father only want his children to sit all day long and sing? Or would he rather watch his children enjoy themselves, hearing their laughter, and seeing their smiles? Our heavenly Father is no different.
If you would like to read a good story that also puts heaven in this perspective, read Randy Alcorn's "Dominion." This is an awesome fictional novel, but his views on heaven are very much like mine. Also read his other novel "Safely Home."

There will not be any activities in 'heaven' as it is a concept created by man kind and written about in 'holy' books (which were also invented by man, not a "god"...
So, sorry dude, you'll have to do all your diving, climbing and bungee etc, while you are still alive here on earth.
"Heaven" ...its a nice thought, but clearly, the concept is flawed when you apply logic to it :-)
all the best.

no one you know has ever been to heaven before...but it is supposed to be a happy place. when you die, you can imagine what you want heaven to be because you are never ever sad in heaven!

Sure. Whatever. I just hope when I get there the Easter Bunny will explain to me how a mammal can lay eggs.

I somehow don't think such things will thrill us anymore.
