The Best We Could Do
Matt 10:40-42

A woman of immense wealth dreamed she went to heaven and was met by the angel Gabriel, who proceeded to give her a tour of the celestial city. First, she saw a palatial estate that belonged to her former maid. Then Gabriel showed her a mansion, where her former chauffeur lived. Finally, Gabriel gave her a sneak preview of her home - a shack in the back of the maid's palace.

Taken aback, the woman protested: But I lived in a palace on earth!

The angel Gabriel replied, I'm sorry. This is the best we could do with the material you sent up.
