22. A life well lived

Dec 2016

This morning a hundred new angels were catching their first glimpses at the wonders of Heaven.

Ninety-nine of them were wonderstruck at the awesomeness they beheld. One guy asked where the chow line was.

"What's up with that guy?" asked God. "Why isn't he amazed at the wonder he has worked all his life to reach?"

"Don't worry about him," said St. Peter. "That's John Glenn. He's seen it before."
