As Earth Churns…30. The Planning Room

Gabriel looked at his fellow worker and said, “Jesus, how long’s it been since your Father assigned us this task? Seems like forever.”

“No, not forever,” Jesus alleged, “just several centuries. What’s the latest from Raphael and the Discovery Team? I haven’t read the Heavenly Herald in quite some time.”

Gabriel straightened eagerly, “I make time to read it every day. No wonder you don’t with all we’ve been working on…the boat, the animal list, and your rainbow idea. I never thought this whole project would be so complicated.”

“I know what you mean, Gabe; but the Father wants this all done right. We’re just about ready to report our ideas to Him. What do you think?”

Gabriel stated excitedly, “I say let’s do it!”

Equally elated, Jesus said, “Okay, I’ll let Him know we want a conference as soon as is convenient.”

It’s about time we finalized

In the beginning…11e. Earth Overlook: Day Six

Lucifer’s attention returned to the events at hand as some astonished expressions issued from the angelic spectators near Jesus. The commotion in the multitude calmed down quickly. “What’s happening now?” Raphael asked, leaning over the railing. Jesus returned his attention to Eden and explained, “One of the tasks God was performing as he had the animals parade by Adam and be named was that of searching for a suitable helper and mate for man. Apparently none was found that met God’s standards. So now he is going to Plan B; that is to create a female for Adam. Watch!” As though hearing his son clearly, God looked up to the Earth Overlook and seemed to explain to the gathered angels “It is not good for the man to be alone.
