“Can you believe we’re angels?” whispered Isobel.
“Can’t believe I made it!” Sammy whispered back.
“Feels like I’m wearing a nightgown. In public.”
“Can’t believe they’re making the guys wear dresses. Next floor up is haloes, I think.”
“No, it’s harps.”
“Don’t want to play any harp. It’s girlie.”
“Angels don’t have gender, Silly!”
“Don’t like that, either.”
“After harps, then haloes. Then assignments, then wings if we do a good job.”
“Whole thing makes no sense.”
“How’d you make it this far?”
“Dunno.”
Just Writing! 
The wings are the really hard bit, I’m guessing.

I guess so. Otherwise they’d be grounded, right?

Teehee. Perhaps Isobel has been praying hard for Sammy!
Still, whatever heaven is, it will be right in a way that even the best experiences of this world are not.

It sounds as if they have an imperfect understanding of things. Heaven can’t be like that. They must still be in the vestibule. At least there’s good news ahead.

That angel uniform does have some design flaws. It would lose me at the all-white. What if I want Italian for lunch? I love a meatball sub. That’s a bad combination.

Dear Linda,
Love the dialogue. Next floor halos. Hilarious. Somehow I have my doubts about this representation. 😉 Such fun, though.
Shalom,

OK, I am going to take the question mark in your title seriously… I don’t think they are in heaven at all. They are led to believe they are in heaven just to make their eternal misery worse. -That’s- how he made it 😉

Whatever it is, it starts very early. Babies are a whole lot more intelligent than we think–learning fast that when they cry, we will almost always pick them up. And perhaps that’s exactly where it starts 🙂
