There are lots of religious/spiritual analogies to rivers. Check out my post on a series of (4) Thomas Cole paintings on this topic.
No bucket list here. When I get to where I'm going I'm sure God has plans to keep us infinitely busy. I often find myself wondering if the new Eden will be like this planet only better. Until I know what's available for me to do there it's hard to speculate what I would like to do there. If it's physically possible to hug God when I get there...I fully intend to hug him so tight he might spit stars. LOL
Marie--this thread is about a bucket list for the afterlife, which I can't imagine. No one knows what the afterlife will be like or if there will be one, so how can we have a bucket list?
Folks keep asking about "bucket lists" in this life or afterlife, and my answer is always the same: "I don't have a bucket list, but I have a f*** it list that's a mile long".
