We have all learned to live with voice mail as a necessary part of modern life. But you may have wondered: what if God decided to install voice mail? Imagine praying and hearing this:
Thank you for calling The Lord's House. Please select from the following options:
Press 1 for GENERAL REQUESTS Press 2 for THANKSGIVING Press 3 for COMPLAINTS Press 4 for HEALING Press 5 for HELP WITH THE IRS Press 6 for RAIN or NO RAIN Press 7 for MIRACLES Press 8 for LOTTERY WINNING NUMBERS Press 9 for ALL OTHER INQUIRIES OR JUST TO SAY "HI" Press 0 to hear this menu again
What if God used the familiar excuse:
"I'm sorry, all the angels are helping other SINNERS right now. Please stay on the line. Your call is important to us and will be answered in this millennium."
Can you imagine getting these kinds of responses as you call God in prayer:
If you would like to speak to Gabriel, press 11.
For Michael, press 22.
For a directory of the other Archangels, press 33.
If you would like to hear King David sing a Psalm while you are holding, please press 55, then wait for the beep and enter the number of the Psalm you wish to hear.
To find out if a loved one has been assigned to Heaven, press 62. Enter his or her social security number, then press the pound (#) key, enter their date of birth, then press the pound (#) key twice.
For answers to nagging questions about dinosaurs, the age of the earth, where Noah's Ark is, Darwin, Hitler, the Pope, abortion, and UFOs, please wait until you arrive here. Answers can only be understood from a "heavenly perspective."
To reach Lucifer, press 666, and your call will be automatically transferred. PLEASE be careful; your receiver may become warm.
Our computers show that you have already called once today. Please hang up and try tomorrow.
This office is closed for the weekend. Please call again on Monday, after 9:30 A.M., but before 4:30 ACST (Absolute Celestial Standard Time). To order any religious material, enter catalog number, quantity, and a major credit card number plus expiration date.
** Being sent to the drugstore to test vacuum tubes for the TV. ** When Kool-Aid was the only drink for kids, other than milk and sodas. ** When there were two types of sneakers for girls and boys (Keds & PF Flyers), and the only time you wore them at school, was for "gym." ** When it took five minutes for the TV to warm up. ** When nearly everyone's mom was at home when the kids got there. ** When nobody owned a purebred dog. ** When you'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny. ** When girls neither dated nor kissed until late high school, if then. ** When your mom wore nylons that came in two pieces. ** When all of your male teachers wore neckties and female teachers had their hair done, everyday. ** When you got your windshield cleaned, oil checked, and gas pumped, without asking,.... for free, every time. And, you didn't pay for air. And, you got trading stamps to boot! ** When laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes or towels hidden inside the box. ** When any parent could discipline any kid, or feed him, or use him to carry groceries, and nobody, not even the kid, thought a thing of it. ** When it was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at a real restaurant with your parents. ** When they threatened to keep kids back a grade if they failed ...and did! ** When being sent to the principal's office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited a misbehaving student at home.
Trust in yourself and you are doomed to disappointment; trust in money and you may have it taken from you; but trust in God, and you are never to be confounded in time or eternity. - D.L. Moody
