Humans don't understand angels. No idea. They really seem to think that we have wings and float around in heaven. Oh sure, we can have wings if we want, but honestly they get in the way. Besides, they tend to scare people. I mean what would you do if you somebody suddenly spread these huge white wings? I guess it would be better than spreading huge black wings and breathing fire. Still, it's daunting. I don't recommend that you try it - if you're an angel that is.
All the people who've seen my wings have been pretty darn scared. That's no way to strike up a conversation. I'd rather get to know folks before they find out my secrets. So most the time, I don't have wings. I don't exactly keep them at home. You couldn't go into my closet, for example, and check to see if I was wearing them that day. But I can have them any time I want. They're just not that useful.
We don't spend too much time in heaven either. Why do people think we do? First, it's boring up there. I mean a cloud is a cloud is a cloud. Sure it's peaceful, but I like a little excitement now and again. Can you imagine just hanging around doing nothing for an eternity? Oh my God - excuse me Boss, but what's the good in being if you're not doing? Actually, the Boss doesn't want us hanging around. You know, idle hands are the devil's workship. At least that's what they say. Besides, there's far too much to do - mission after mission. I'm not too partial to harp music anyway. That's a little angel joke.
In case you're wondering, I think that the capital letters at the beginning of His name are a bit annoying, but I suppose that He's earned it , being omniscient and all. Besides, He insists upon it.
So back to angels. . . I suppose you think that we run around doing good deeds. Most humans do. It's a bit more complicated though. I mean, if you think human life is complicated, you should try universal life. It's like the difference between living in 3 dimensions and 24. So while we may be helping on one front it's quite possible that it may cause problems elsewhere. It's like trying to keep a 24 dimensional balloon in a 3 dimensional bag. Very tough.
