for we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down- when we die and leave these bodies we will have a home in heaven, an eternal body made for us by god himself and not by human hands we grow weary in our present bodies... and we long for a day when we will put on our heavenly bodies like new clothing, for we will not be spirits without bodies but we will put on new heavenly bodies.
our dying bodies make us groan and sigh but its not that we want to die... and have no bodies at all we want to slip into our new bodies. so that these dying bodies will be swallowed up by everlasting life... god himself has prepaired us for this and as a gurantee he has given us the holy spirit.
so we are always confident... even thoe we know that as long as we live in these bodies we are not at home with the lord that is why we live by beileving and not by seeing, yes we are fully confident and we would rather be away from these bodies. for then we will be at home with the lord so our aim is to please him... whether we are here in this body or away from this body for we must stand before christ to be judged. we will receive whatever we deserv for the good or evil we have done in our bodies.

I hope I am going to be here for a while longer and I have let myself get out of shape a bit so I have started to work on getting my new heavenly body before swimming season. It would be a big ego boost to hear. "Lordy Lordy look at you!"
