I hope they at least have cheesecake.

Matthew 22:23-33

There's nothing romantic about Jesus' description of the resurrection. No marrying? No special relationships like that? You look at Islam, and some of the martyrs get 70 virgins. You look at the Mormons, and they can live with their wives and families, and in fact can't make it to heaven without them. But Jesus puts a pin in that bubble. It may not be romantic, but it sounds realistic.
We won't be the same after the resurrection, call it heaven if you will. Our relationships will be different, and hopefully better. We may feel like we are losing out, and long for those things we know and love here. What we get will no doubt make these things look like mud pies compared to my wife's awesome cheesecake. I hope they at least have cheesecake.
