Almost Heaven

The concept of heaven in Islam differs in many respects to the concept in Judaism and Christianity. Heaven is described primarily in physical terms as a place where every wish is immediately fulfilled when asked.

We Asked for quite a lot this morning and got it. It was a thing of beauty. Gracious and lovely maidens gaily prancing about with the finest of gentlemen accompanying them in their strides. The air was clean and crisp. The geese and other fowl flew. The earth was compassionate and forgiving.

We hammered 5 miles and reeled off 500 repetitions of various core exercises. It was no joke.

  1. Wow, who knew we were experiencing a slice of heaven while pushing our bodies beyond our will to Chip's gutteral chants of "Bring 'er in" and "C'mon, uptempo!" and "Stride it out now!"
