Where heaven is.

The literal ascension of Our Lord belies the fact that heaven is not that far away. It is literally next door but in another dimension. Close enough for God to hear our prayers. Close enough to answer them.
Let me emphasise this point. Would he hear our prayers  at the other end of the universe? At the other end of the galaxy even, the Milky Way.
Heaven is a physical place. Angels have physical bodies, as do the saints.
God must have a physical presence as well. That’s why we who have physical bodies call him Father. It makes sense.
However none are limited to their physical bodies. Their spirits can go anywhere, but so too can their physical bodies.
We should not feel isolated from heaven therefore. It is a stones throw away, a mini second in time. That’s one reason heaven is so familiar with us on earth. 
One reason why you can call out to your guardian angel, without whom you would be lost, one reason why your family departed are always looking over you, praying and beseeching God that you will make it to heaven, as they have done. We hope. We live in that hope.
Let us satisfy ourselves that this journey of the spirit here on earth is not as solitary as we are accustomed to believe.
Let us satisfy ourselves that love rules the known universe,  not hate.
Let us satisfy ourselves that we will all be united with our loved ones in heaven, forever, where there is no pain, just the joy of fellowship with the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit who are one in each  and one with us when we sacrifice our self centred lives and live solely for God.
We experience this oneness on earth as a foretaste of the world to come.

    0.    They were still staring into the sky as he went, when suddenly two men in white were standing beside them,
    0.    and they said, ‘Why are you Galileans standing here looking into the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will come back in the same way as you have seen him go to heaven.’
(Acts of the Apostles 1:1-11)

British cops you say???
