A.M. News

Good Morning, Heaven! I am Gabriel and this is the Heavenly News Network.

First, the news of God:

He is still on His Throne!

Christ is still resurrected.

The Holy Spirit still works in the life of every created being.

In news of the universe:

Remember that supernova in WR-104, about seven thousand years ago,

the one that the Angelic Corps of Engineers adjusted

by just one hundredth of a degree of arc?

We can now report that, exactly as planned,

the axial gamma ray burst will certainly miss

that tiny planet that God is so involved in.

Speaking of that planet, here's the terrestrial news:

Various rulers made unfounded decisions, most of them bad.

Of greater interest:

Little Cindy Phipps and Joanie Simpson are friends again.

Carlos Ortiz overcame his fear of heights

and rescued Pilar Soto’s cat from a tree.

And 143,329 souls moved from Earth to Heaven.

Now the forecast: It’s going to be a glorious day.

Yes, there will be tempests, tumults, and pestilence, but ignore the small stuff.

This day will be glorious!

Yes, for you too. Yes, I can see you.

What do you think this is, TV?

No, this is Poetry, and I am Gabriel.

I see you there planning to have a lousy day.

You’re free to do that, but you’ll be making the rest of us sad.

Cheer up and smell the Glory!

And now a word from our sponsor:

Love!

Yes, that’s the word and that’s the sponsor.

All of us here at HNN hope you will use our sponsor’s products throughout the day.
