I live primarily in the future, using the past as a guide. Oftentimes, it is hard for me to enjoy the moment. This season is teaching me to live more in the present. Does your brain gravitate to the past, present, or future?
Are men more depraved than women? (I think not, yet they seem to commit more crimes.)
How does God view people with developmental disabilities? If our world was not broken, would there still be people with developmental disabilities?
In heaven, will we still be distracted from God? If not, I think this would be one of the greatest joys of heaven. I am realizing more and more how easily distracted I am from spending time with God. It reminds me of the famous C.S. Lewis quote: Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that Our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.
On earth, God grows us through trials. What will be the system of growth in heaven?
How can God stand to let humans be so cruel to one another?
What does God expect of me? (This one is more of a reminder, as I know that He wants me to love Him and love people.)
