Just a drill

Dice

If Sistertech were the betting kind she would have urged folks not to bet on that May 21st “Judgment Day” deal. Not that she knew it wasn’t the Day. Gabe practices a lot so we do not take the sound of his trumpet to be a call to battle stations. Besides, every angel knows that no one knows when the real thing will happen. We do have drills, though. And that is how Sistertech approached May 21st. I had a squad standing by down at Google in case they had a meltdown due to all the searches for “rapture”, “time zone”, “apocalypse”, and “earthquake”. But they reported that everything was fairly quiet . Thanks be to The One In Charge.

As for that Camping fellow, I would not be surprised if he were sent camping…in a twinkling.

 

 

 

A little bit lower indeed

Although it’s not a competition, some of us get a little touchy about these ranking Psalms. That’s what we call them. It’s the old “who is closer to Whom” thing. Now I like humans as much as the next angel, but when we have to read this Psalm, well, it’s like putting salt between our feathers: it’s uncomfortable.

That’s why Psalm 8 is not one of Sistertech’s favorites. I know that sounds blasphemous. You’ll see what I mean. Everything is fine until verse 5.

3When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars that you have established;
4what are human beings that you are mindful of them,
mortals that you care for them?

5Yet you have made them a little lower than God,
and crowned them with glory and honour.
