1 John 3:1-2  "Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God...Beloved, now we are the sons of  God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."

Genesis 1:26 "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness..."  I have no idea what the image of God looks like.  But John said we shall be like him.  God himself even said we will be like him.  From God's mouth to your ear.

Genesis 1:27 "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."

What in the world is that going to look like?   What are we going to look like.  He says that we will have new bodies.  I am sure we are going to know each other.

Pat just called to tell me that she has found a company in Montana that will ship you a gallon of huckleberries for $90.00.  She is seriously contemplating ordering a gallon.  They only grow in certain elevations.  They take 13 years to start to bear.  And they have to be picked by hand.  The only other thing I can think of that we would ever consider eating that would be that pricey would be morel mushrooms--which only pop up for a week each year.  Huckleberries are better than mushrooms.  And we can get morels on Pat's back acreage.

The question is, are we crazy enough to buy a gallon of huckleberries for $90.00?  We talked about it and decided that if we did it, we wouldn't be able to bring ourselves to share the pie with anyone.  So that leaves us both feeling guilty.

I'm going to think about this.  Ninety dollars is a lot of money.  I could be a good Christian and give it to the poor.  But.  But.  Surely there is another way to be a good Christian, and eat the berries myself?
