2. Continue the journal entry you started yesterday, writing as if you were there when these things happened.

4. Read a blog post by Julia Knowles on her 3 month mission trip to Bolivia: *Behold, I am making all things new* :) Revelation 21 At the bottom, she talks about heaven. What famous preacher did she quote and when did he preach his sermon, "No Tears in Heaven"? (Be sure to pray for Julia today, April 10, as she flies home!).
