Angelic Assignment: Day 10 – A Birth Foretold
Michael patiently awaited Gabriel’s arrival at the entrance to Heaven’s Throne Room. While he waited, he spent some time admiring the Glory that continuously flooded the room, spilling out into the halls of the Father’s celestial palace. Michael never tired of the beauty that emanated from the Father’s dwelling place. In fact, every time heContinue reading “Angelic Assignment: Day 10 – A Birth Foretold”
Angelic Assignment: Day 9 – A Fishy Situation
“It is your turn to revive him, Gabriel.” “My turn? No, I’m pretty sure it’s your turn.” “You are mistaken. I revived him the last time. Do you not remember how, after I revived him last, you said, ‘Be careful not to pop him!’” Gabriel chuckled at his own joke. “That’s right. That, my friend,Continue reading “Angelic Assignment: Day 9 – A Fishy Situation”
Angelic Assignment: Day 8 – The Anointed King
“Why are we at this old man’s house, again?” Gabriel asked Michael. “To see the anointing of a king,” Michael stated. “Okay, two questions,” Gabriel said, clearly confused. “One, I thought Israel already had a king. That tall guy…” “Saul,” Michael said. “Yes, Saul, and question number two, this doesn’t look like a king’s home.Continue reading “Angelic Assignment: Day 8 – The Anointed King”
Angelic Assignment: Day 7 – The Law Given
“Are you sure I can’t blow the trumpet this time?” Gabriel asked as they touched down on the mountain’s summit. “I’ve been practicing.” “It is not a trumpet, this time, Gabriel,” Michael explained. “Today I will be blowing a ram’s horn. The Father feels like it is more fitting to announce His presence to HisContinue reading “Angelic Assignment: Day 7 – The Law Given”
Caleb’s Poetry
One of my favorite books growing up was “Where the Sidewalk Ends” by Shel Silverstein. Perhaps it was because the poems were quick reads that accommodated my attention span, or because the verse was witty, or maybe it was the fun illustrations that accompanied them. Regardless, I fell in love with poetry and even dabbledContinue reading “Caleb’s Poetry”
Angelic Assignment: Day 6 – A Family Divided
“Hurry up, Michael,” Gabriel shouted from inside a tent. “I can’t distract him much longer.” “Almost ready,” Michael called back from inside another tent. Michael watched as a frantic young man quickly packed a few personal belongings, some gold, and a little food into a knapsack. “Where’s my staff?” the young man questioned aloud, surveyingContinue reading “Angelic Assignment: Day 6 – A Family Divided”
Angelic Assignment: Day 5 – A Promise Fulfilled
Gabriel could barely keep his wings on; he was so excited. He had no confirmation yet, but had heard through the grapevine that the Son would be joining them on their next mission. He flew to report to Michael as quickly as his wings would allow. Upon reaching his mentor, he skidded to a stopContinue reading “Angelic Assignment: Day 5 – A Promise Fulfilled”
Angelic Assignment: Day 4 – Scattering of Nations
“They’re at it again,” Gabriel sighed. “I suppose they are,” Michael agreed. “Don’t they know that they could never build a tower tall enough to reach into Heaven? Don’t they realize how far it is?!” “Actually, no, they do not,” Michael replied. “Unlike you, they have never been there.” “Touché,” Gabriel conceded. “So, what’s theContinue reading “Angelic Assignment: Day 4 – Scattering of Nations”
Angelic Assignment: Day 3 – Salvation from the Flood
“Why can’t we use your special trumpet for this task?” Gabriel asked, chasing two donkeys through a forest and holding a pair of rabbits. “I think it would make it a whole lot easier.” “The trumpet does not work that way, Gabriel,” Michael said, himself holding a pair of lemurs, while chasing two warthogs throughContinue reading “Angelic Assignment: Day 3 – Salvation from the Flood”
