No Tears in Heaven

So, I'm just waiting until it is time, for me to load my car and begin the road trip to Houston. I created this blog so that I could type a few things here and there, so that friends and family would know what is going on in my life without me sending out tons of really long emails. But, in the mean time, I'll let you be inspired:

I was thinking, after talking to a close friend of mine, who is not a believer and has no desire to be-- if there are no tears in heaven, will I be sad when I get there and not see all the people that I loved so dearly on earth? If I will have no sorrrow, will I not feel any emotion when I realize that some of the closest people to me on Earth are missing? All will be glory in the land, but I can't imagine it being glorious without those that I love. Will I just not feel any emotion? Will I just not even remember them?
I often wonder about the verse in 1 Cor Chapter 7:12. It says "To the rest I say this, If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband . Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy."
As it is stated, it is obviously Paul that is saying this and not the Lord. But I often wonder about this passage. If my beliefs will be strong enough to save someone else?
I wonder what will happen in Heaven, if there are no tears?

"No tears in heaven, no sorrows given, All will be glory in that land...There'll be no sadness, all will be gladness, When we shall join that happy band....

No tears....no tears, no tears up there, Sorrow and pain will all have flown....No tears, no tears up there, No tears in heaven will be known.

Glory is waiting, waiting up yonder, Where we shall spend an endless day; There with our Savior, we'll be forever, Where no more sorrow can dismay....

No tears....no tears, no tears up there, Sorrow and pain will all have flown....No tears, no tears up there, No tears in heaven will be known.

Some morning yonder, we'll cease to ponder, O'er things this life has brought to view; All will be clearer, saved ones be dearer, In Heaven where all will be made new....

No tears....no tears, no tears up there, Sorrow and pain will all have flown....No tears, no tears up there, No tears in heaven will be known."
