I am uncoordinated. I was in fifth grade before I learned to ride a bike. I was 25 years old before I understood give-and-go on the basketball court. I am not sure if I can walk and chew gum because I don’t chew gum. Maybe that is the reason.
I was thinking about all the things that look like fun that I will never try. I might put one foot on a skateboard but I make sure I have two hands on a rail and the other foot on the ground. I would try skiing but I have memories of my children being helicoptered out of the mountains after a brief trip on the snow and a meeting with a tree that could not get out of the way in time. There is a long list of things I will never do in this life.
What about the next life? What will eternity be like? Will Jesus teach me to surf? Will I ever be able to play the piano? Will I be able to eat and not come down with diabetes?
Or will it be so overloaded with unimaginable experiences that sky-diving will sound boring? Just think of finding out that your best sexual experience seems like iceberg lettuce when you look at the potential ingredients available.
It will be a glorious eternity.

I guess there's only one way to know - just wait and see.
