Heaven is for real

Today most Christians celebrate Easter Sunday. This is the day where Jesus is risen. One of the local churches chose heaven as the theme of this year Easter Sunday. Well, in John 14:1-7,
1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.”
 5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”  6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” John 14:1-7.
So Jesus was comforting the people. He comforted us by telling us that there's a home for us instead of giving earthly materials to meet our needs. Five points He made. He said we should not be worried as there are many rooms in his home. 

He comforted us that He himself is going to check through the preparation of the place for us. But why He needs to do that? Isn't the rooms are ever ready? Well, the preparation was Jesus himself, the truth and the life. He assured us He will get us there though.

Oh, those assurances seem very future. And He said now the Father is with us. So trouble no more.

There are some accounts of Christians being taken to heaven and back. It's good to read some of the accounts. A recommendation from the pastor:  Heaven is for Real: A little Boy's Astounding Story on His Trip to Heaven and Back. I have not read this book yet, hopefully will. Again, we don't have sufficient information about heaven. So it's up to you how much to agree or believe. But the important thing is, we know heaven exists.

Happy Easter Sunday.

Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route

Just came back from Japan last week. Went to Tokyo for conference and added side trip to Tateyama Alpine Route and Kanazawa. I must say that Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route was great. You can do the trip either from Nagano side or Toyama side. For us, we did it from the Nagano side. Took the Shinkansen to Nagano early morning. Then boarded the express bus to Ogizawa. From there, we boarded the tunnel electric bus to get to Kurobe Dam. From the dam, it was all the way up to the peak (almost). Murodo is the highlight of the route. This is the place where you get to see snow covered peak and lake. In spring, there's snow wall nearby Murodo station. From Murodo, we descended to Bijodaira and Tateyama Station to catch the local train back to Toyama. The fare for the entire route is not cheap, but it's worth it. A hike from Bijodaira to Murodo should be interesting, which can be considered in future. View from the tunnel electric bus, onward to Kurobe Dam Arrived at Kurobe Dam View of t...

MyVi

Had got my new MyVi last Friday. Initial consumption was a litre for a 10-km drive. Well, it seems quite costly but this is still early to judge as the engine needs up to 5,000km drive to get optimize (that's what people tell me). Enjoy driving it.
