When I was 8 or 9 years old, I read something, (in a Catholic school of all places!) that has stayed with me for more than 40 years. To say that this created a powerful picture in my mind is a serious understatement, and I would like to share it with you.

Eternity. That is a word we use, but what picture does it bring up? Because it is something that is so far beyond anything that we can imagine......

Picure a 1,000 feet in diameter solid steel ball floating in space. A bird flies by and just brushes the steel ball with it´s wing. In 1,000 years, the bird returns, and once again, flies by and brushes the steel ball with its wing.

Thereafter, every 1,000 years, the bird returns and each time, brushes the steel ball with its wing as it flies past.

Evenutally, after a very, very long time, the steel ball is worn away to nothing and disappears, just by the action of the bird brushing its wing against the steel ball every 1,000 years.

Now picture, if you will, behind where this steel ball was suspended in space, another 999 1,000 feet in diameter steel balls floating, each of them awaiting their turn to be worn away to nothing by the action of the bird brushing its wing against them every 1,000 years.

When all of those steel balls have been worn away to nothing... that amount of time, is less than 1/1,000,000,000,000 of a blink of your eye as compared to Eternity.

And that, my friends, is what we have been Promised, by Him, for those who would chose to join with Him. In ABSOLUTE Perfection.
