Golly, that didn't hurt too badly now - did it. And , you are certainly welcome to use "God", "He" or "Him" when referring to the Father, the Son, or the Holy Spirit - you really don't have to capitalize the whole thing. The effort was appreciated, however.

Here's a quick first cut. I need to study some, as I haven't needed to deal with that issue for a while. It was more important when my girls and grandgirlies were little and needed to know exactly where they came from (..besides from Mommie and Daddy..).

1 Thessalonians 5:5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

"There is no night time there". There is a very good reason for that statement about Heaven. Here on earth there is only one sun blazing in the sky. All by itself it lights up almost half the earth at once. Imagine the sun is YOUR head. Everywhere you look would be as bright as the noonday anywhere you go at all times. Now imagine billions of brothers and sisters with heads radiating that kind of light walking around together. That indescribable brilliance is too great to imagine! I have never seen anything like it yet! But that is the glory of Heaven in store for YOU as a mature son or daughter of God. Fix your mind upon imagining that awesome brightness because YOU ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF IT! The FAMILY cannot be complete without YOUR presence there! There cannot be any darkness or nighttime under such circumstances. Now you see why "they have no need of the sun or moon for light" like we are accustomed to seeing on earth. This is the glory that awaits those of us on earth when we rise. On that day we become "new name" members of that "general assembly of the church of the firstborn which are written in Heaven".


Enjoy.

John :-)
