Perhaps, like me, many of you have, over your lifetime, made a list of places you would like to visit. My list is long, and it gets longer with the passing of time:
- a. The New England states in the fall of the year.
- b. Amish country in Pennsylvania.
- c. The Grand Canyon in Arizona.
- d. Mount Rushmore in the Black Hills of South Dakota
- e. The Redwood Forests of California
- f. Lake Tahoe in the Sierra Nevada Mountains
- g. Alaska
- h. Scotland and Ireland
- i. Keele University near Staffordshire England

I want to see the myriad upon myriads of angels. I want to see the great host of the redeemed. I want to see the beautiful city and the new heavens and earth in which righteous dwells.
