Heaven is a place where nothing happens....

I never thought I could get so incensed by a simple title for a photo as the above picture. The enormity of what the picture and title are saying hit me pretty much like an SNCF train heading through the chunnel. Is this really the perception that people have about heaven? My word - how misinformed you are!

Do people really believe that when we die and go to heaven we are literally going to sit on a cloud and live peacefuly ever after without having to do a thing? Goodness, how off the path can you get. I don't have sufficient strength in the bible texts, but the bible talks of a New Jerusalem (See Revelations), streets paved with gold. People singing and dancing and worshipping their Lord and King. I cannot see it being a place of simple quiet, nothing happening. It will be a place filled with excitement and love, love for a King of such magnitude that all you can do is worship Him!
