Am I living like I am here to bring the Kingdom of heaven to the earth now, and not just waiting around for the life to come?  On Earth as it is in Heaven?   Jesus definitely referenced heaven a lot, but He also lived like someone who is fully invested in the right here and right now of His people.  He continually allowed others to interrupt Him with...
