Jennifer was a most impressive angel. She was smart, vivacious and beautiful. Her most impressive part however was her heart of gold. She was always being of service to others and volunteering to help humans on earth.
Even though everyone thought Jennifer was wonderful, Jennifer felt their was something missing. So she went to God and asked Him what to do. As she waited for God to appear, she wondered what form He would choose that day.
Soon another person came in and sat down next to her. Strange she said to herself, He looks like George Burns. I wonder if it's Him. No I'm not, He said. I just happen to look like Him. How did you know that? she asked. I didn't say anything.
Oh that, he said. It's just a trick I learned on my last assignment on Earth. It's real easy, anyone can do it, let me show you how. I'm too busy, said Jennifer. Besides I'm waiting for my appointment with God Himself. I have some ideas how we can straighten this mess out.
Do you mind if I ask you what you are going to say to Him?, asked GB. Of course not, said Jennifer. If will be good practice when I go in there. I'm rather intimidated after all, it's His High and Mighty Himself.
You know I never really thought I would get a private appointment. All the other angels said that He's so busy that He hardly has time to solve all the big problems, much less talk to angel about changes. Now here I am waiting to talk to God, Himself.
You know, Jennifer, said GB. You remind me of another angel. I can't remember his name. It was one of those bizarre ones, you know, like his name was light be he wanted to be called Luce, something or another. anyway after his appointment, he left here in a huff and I haven't heard from him since. But that's another story. Now tell me what would you say.
Well, said Jennifer. In the first place, I think that it is so dumb for spirits to volunteer to go to Earth to suffer. What jerks they are. Now tell me, who in their right mind would do that? Besides look at all the trouble they cause.
God has to find volunteers to inflict pain on them. Then He has to save them by sending angels that jeopardize themselves doing hazardous rescue work. Then somebody has to clean up all that mess. And you know what? Some of those spirits are so dumb, they don't get it the first time so they have to go back, over and over again.
So what do you suggest we do? said GB. I think, said Jennifer, that it is time for some seminars on self esteem. Not down on Earth, those dummies keep going and they still don't get it, but right here in Heaven. You know catch them while they can think a little.
I would also prevent anyone that has not completed the course from going back to Earth and mess things up. You know, then we would have an Earth that was paradise and we can go visit without fear of being contaminated with all that negative energy. I mean, if just makes me feel dirty thinking about it.
But Jennifer, said GB. Isn't that's why they go to Earth? To bring in the changes? Yes I know that, said Jennifer, but it is taking so long. They have been doing it for thousands of earth years and they still have barely started. I mean, for God's sake look what they did to Jesus, when He went down there.
So let me get this right, said GB. You want to create a new world in six days, just like it says in the Earth books. Well let me tell you, little girl, it took longer than that. I ought to know, I was there.
How could you know? said Jennifer. Only God was there. Wait a minute, you mean to tell me that I have been talking to God all along and I didn't even know it? How was that possible? Aren't you supposed to be sitting on a throne or something? Or at least announce yourself with some trumpets.
GB smiled at her and said. I only do that for a shipment of Catholics. You know they want to believe so bad that I am up here dispensing judgment from a throne, I don't want to disappoint them. Everybody else gets to talk to Me, just like you are doing right now.
So what do you think about my ideas? said Jennifer. Let Me answer you in this manner, said GB. Before you can tell me how to change the system, I want you to go down to Earth and see for yourself how the present system works. When you get back, then we'll talk. ok?
So tell me Jennifer, when in time do you want to go to Earth? Well said Jennifer, I think I will choose right before the turn of the second millennium. I've heard that they have finally invented the internet and with that I can reach thousands possibly millions in a short period. Also I would need a high profile lifestyle.
Hum, said GB. Looks like everyone is picking that time frame, even Jesus. Boy He is going to have some stiff competition from the first female president of the United States. Oh no, He said, that isn't you is it? Jennifer, answer me.
She was gone. She had left for the adventure of her life.
