Some might say what do you mean blessed?

Family, Homes, Creature Comforts, AFF, Church, Golfing, Hunting, Fishing, Pastoring, Youth Nights, and so on...We have so much to live for that Heaven is an after thought...

Sure we all say we want Heaven to be our home and yet we fight hard to stay here on Earth..Why?

Depending on your current condition would Heaven be more important or Less?

The Early Church had little and suffered great persecution so they longed for Christ's Return...and a Promise of a Better Place...

but it seems at times folks aren't quite "ready" for heaven..is this Bad or Okay??
Hmmmmm. Good points. I have several suggestions:

Family - We'll let you keep your family. They probably already wish they could go to heaven.
Homes - You can sign your home over to me anytime. No sense you losing out on heaven over materialism.
AFF - Maybe Admin can remove your account to remove this distraction from your life.
Church - Start stepping on toes by preaching "tough" Con messages. After the 1st week of complaints, you'll wish you could go to heaven.
Golfing - Sell your golf clubs on eBay, it'll give you more time to pray and fast.
Hunting - Sell your guns and gear, it'll give you more "God" time.
Fishing - Sell your reels and boat, it'll give you more "God" time.
Pastoring - Start increasing your number of marriage counselling sessions; after a few months you'll wish you could go to heaven.
Youth Nights - Make your youth sing old hymnals, they'll wish they could go to heaven. After they butcher the classics enough, eventually you'll wish you could go to heaven too.

I'm not saying I have all the answers, but these suggestions might get you started in the right direction.
