Will there be midgets in heaven?

Christians repeatedly assure me that everyone will be "perfect" in heaven, and in light of a friend of mine having his foot amputated recently, I'm curious what this means. If it means his foot will grow back, does this mean that there is a standard of perfection that everyone will measured by? Does this mean that short people will grow to a "normal" height? If blind people will be able to see, what will their vision be? Are we talking 20/20, something close to it, or something much better? I realize that this is a very narrow view of heaven, but since it seems to be the version that I'm getting from so many believers, I want a specific answer.

Update:

Thanks you, Geeb! I honestly wasn't looking for that, but I'm glad you caught it!

Update 2:

Thanks you, Geeb! I honestly wasn't looking for that, but I'm glad you caught it! (Although it was a "midgit.)

Update 3:

Thank you, Jessica, for NOT answering my question! That's exactly what I'm asking! What is "incapacitated"? What sort of "inadequacies" will god be curing? Sounds rather (don't say it!) eugenic to me!

    Paul has an answer for your question:

    1 Corinthians 15 :33

    Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.” Become sober-minded as you ought, and stop sinning; for some have no knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.

    But someone will say, “How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come?” You fool! That which you sow does not come to life unless it dies; and that which you sow, you do not sow the body which is to be, but a bare grain, perhaps of wheat or of something else. But God gives it a body just as He wished, and to each of the seeds a body of its own. All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish. There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.

    So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown [a perishable body, it is raised [m]an imperishable body; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual. The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven. As is the earthy, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly, so also are those who are heavenly. Just as we have borne the image of the earthy, we will also bear the image of the heavenly.

    Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, “Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.

    I like this question xD idk. i don't think people have bodies in heaven, if it even exists. I'm thinking it's more like a star wars thing and we'd all just be forces floating around. And blind can see I think is a metaphor for people who are blind (closed minded) becoming open (seeing).

    Little bird, you have got to be 18, or a few years past your teens, or at least you are to me.

    Little bird, if you were born 'fore '92, then you know just what to do.
