On Hold with Heaven

Most of us have now learned to live with "voice mail" as a necessary part of

our daily lives, but have you ever wondered how it would be like if God decided

to install voice mail in Heaven?



Imagine praying and hearing the following:

Thank you for calling Heaven.

For English press 1

For Spanish press 2

For all other languages press 0



Please select from one of the following options:

Press 1 for Requests

Press 2 for Thanksgiving

Press 3 for Complaints

Press 4 for all other Inquiries



I am sorry; all of our angels and saints are busy helping other sinners

right now. However, your prayer is very important to us, and we will

answer it in the order it was received. Please stay on the line.



If you would like to speak to:

God, press 1

Jesus, press 2

Holy Spirit, press 3



If you would like to hear King David sing a Psalm while you are

holding press 4



To find a loved one that has been assigned to Heaven, Press 5, then

enter his or her social security number followed by the pound sign.

(If you hear a negative response, please hang up and try area code 666)



For reservations in Heaven, please enter J-O-H-N, followed by

numbers 3-1-6.



For answers to nagging questions about dinosaurs, the age of the earth,

life on other planets, and where Noah's Ark is, please wait until you arrive.



Our computers show that you have already prayed today. Please hang

up and try again tomorrow.



The office is now closed for the weekend to observe a religious holiday.

Please pray again on Monday at 9:30 a.m. If you are calling after hours

and need emergency assistance, please contact your local pastor.



Thank you, and have a heavenly day.

Ahem....

As sang on the Colbert Christmas special a couple of years back...

Angels soaring through the air
As they did in Bethlehem
Angels answer every prayer
Once they get around to them

Please...
Be patient
An angel will be with thee shortly

Due to increased prayer amounts
Seraphin will have delays
Servicing thy prayer accounts
For the next five million days

Please...
Be patient
An angel will be with thee shortly

[Hold music]

Please continue thee, to hold
All thy ills shall be relieved
Every human grieve consoled
In the order 'twas received

Please...
Be patient
An authorized prayer technician will be with thee shortly,
Please...
Be patient
Or to save thee time,
Wait for the chime.

Performed by Natalie Feist
Sang to the tune of Angels we have heard on high
