God's Voicemail

We have learned to live with "voice mail" as a necessary part of modern life. But have you ever wondered what if God decided to install "voicemail"? Imagine praying and hearing this:

Thank you for calling My Father's House. Please select one of the following options:

Press 1 for Requests
Press 2 for Thanksgiving
Press 3 for Complaints
Press 4 for All Other Inquiries

What if God used the familiar excuse, "I'm sorry, all of our angels are busy helping other sinners right now. However, your prayer is important to us and will be answered in the order it was received, so please stay on the line."

Can you imagine getting these kinds of responses as you call God in prayer?

If you would like to speak to:
Gabriel, press 1
Michael, press 2
For directory of other Angels, press 3
If you would like to hear King David sing a Psalm while you are holding, press 4
To find out if a loved one has been assigned to Heaven, press 5, enter his or her social security number, then press the pound key. (If you get a negative response, try area code 666)
For reservations at "My Father's House" please enter JOHN followed by 316.
For answers to nagging questions about dinosaurs, the age of the earth or where Noah's Ark is, please wait until you arrive here.

Our computers show that you have already prayed once today. Please hang up and try again tomorrow.

This office is closed for the weekend to observe a religious holiday. Please pray again Monday after 9:30 a.m. If you need emergency assistance when this office is closed, contact your local pastor.

Aren't we thankful that, God DOESN'T HAVE VOICE MAIL AND God LISTENS WHENEVER WE PRAY!!!
