Brian Peterson asked what goes on in heaven.  One suggestion I have heard is
that in heaven we will be able to be everything we have the potential to be,
without interference (from within ourselves or from evil forces outside).  We
will be able to be fully creative, joyful -- the word that sums it all up is
"alive".  As the apostle John wrote (approximate quote), "When He [Jesus]
appears, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is."  We shall be
like Him -- vibrant with life.

On top of that, we won't have difficulties with our equipment (whatever
equipment one has available in heaven, which remains to be seen).  One friend
of mine who is an excellent pianist remarked, only half facetiously, that he
was looking forward to being able to play a piano in absolutely perfect tune.
