How do you view Heaven?

I found this quote from Chesterton over at the Blue Boar web site:

"G.K. Chesterton occasionally depicted Heaven as an inn, the Inn at the End of the World, as it were. As he wrote in the last paragraph in his biography of Charles Dickens:

The hour of absinthe is over. We shall not be much further troubled with the little artists who found Dickens too sane for their sorrows and too clean for their delights. But we have a long way to travel before we get back to what Dickens meant: and the passage is along a rambling English road, a twisting road such as Mr. Pickwick travelled. But this at least is part of what he meant; that comradeship and serious joy are not interludes in our travel; but that rather our travels are interludes in comradeship and joy, which through God shall endure for ever. The inn does not point to the road; the road points to the inn. And all roads point at last to an ultimate inn, where we shall meet Dickens and all his characters: and when we drink again it shall be from the great flagons in the tavern at the end of the world.

Hey all! Amanda finally got on the blog! Yeah! Anyway, things are really busy with school right now. Not much to say, things are going well. I'm really starting to feel like a teacher, and I haven't had a class of my own yet! Until next time.....Amanda
