No More...
'And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.' (Revelation 21.1) I'd miss the sea, for sure, in the afterlife (if I were to take this verse literally). If there were an afterlife (regardless of your own personal faith, just presume for the moment that there is), what one thing (or collective of things) would you miss most from this life if it/they was/were absent for all eternity? Explain why, if you can, concisely (maximum of 100 words for this challenge!)

A Poor Comparison
Believing in the absolute sovereignty and supremacy of God... nothing. He loves His children; He will provide everything I need. Everything on earth that I love, everything considered worth missing, is only a watered-down version of the majesty that God's new heaven and earth will contain.
Revelation 21 continues on to say in verse 4, "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
How could anything here on earth compare to a paradise like that?
