The arts are so powerful, right? I wish we involved them even more in the church today than we already do; always relating to the Now Generation, you know? So I've been on a dance kick lately. No pun intended...
I also have been listening to one of my Perry Stone audio CDs in the car, and he has been discussing the controversy among people in their knowledge/beliefs in the whether or not we will know the people we know now on earth once we get into heaven. Well, in comparison to bringing people to the point where their names are actually written into the Book of Life or not is obviously the most important. But for those who are going, it crosses our mind whether or not we will know our family and friends.
Using Moses and Elijah as his example, who came to earth as a spirit to tell Jesus (in the time just before he died on the cross for us) a message from God. And Moses and Elijah spoke of people they knew on earth. Although Elijah never technically died because he was carried away in a chariot of fire (how cool!), Moses did die. And he was speaking about people and situations on earth that he knew of while he was alive. To make a long story short, it is Perry's belief that we, in fact, will know people we knew here. We will most likely not prefer one person over another, as we will be made perfect, but we will know.
Which reminds me of this video... I believe the choreographer is imagining what it would be like when she sees her father again in heaven...
