Voice Mail
Contributed - by Joan Simms

Most of us have now learned to live with voice mail as a necessary part of our lives.  Have you ever wondered what it would be like if God decided to install voice mail?  Imagine praying and hearing the following:

• Thank you for calling heaven.
  • For English press 1
  • For Spanish press 2
  • For all other languages, press 3
• Please select one of the following options:
  • Press 1 for request
  • Press 2 for thanksgiving
  • Press 3 for complaints
  • Press 4 for all others
• I am sorry, all our Angels and Saints are busy helping other sinners right now.  However, your prayer is important to us and we will answer it in the order it was received.  Please stay on the line.
• Thank you for waiting.  If you would like to speak to:
  • God, press 1
  • Jesus, press 2
  • Holy spirit, press 3
  • To find a loved one that has been assigned to heaven press 5, then enter his social security # followed by the pound sign.  (If you receive a negative response, please hang up and dial area code 666)
  • For reservations to heaven, please enter JOHN followed by the numbers, 316.
  • For answers to nagging questions about evolution, dinosaurs, life, and other planets, please wait until you arrive in heaven for the specifics.
• Our computers show that you have already been prayed for today, please hang up and call again tomorrow.
• The office is now closed for the weekend to observe a religious holiday.
• If you are calling after hours and need emergency assistance, please contact your local pastor.
• You have entered an incorrect choice.  Please press the star key to repeat your options.

Thank you and have a heavenly day.
