Yes, We Are Souls

It would be nice
  to dwell on high
to sing with angels
  before the heavenly throne

Yet that is not why we are here
  True, we are heavenly souls
But we are souls that enter bodies
  to plow, to plant, to pray

Absolutely. Well said, gw. I couldn't agree more. However, I'm from the school which says it would be terribly boring to spend eternity playing a danged harp and singing twenty-four hours a day (oops)...hours and days would have absolutely no meaning......

I'm with ya, Milt. This is the world of doing. The angels can wait until it's time for Eternity. Pleasant Thoughts and Outcomes, Gershon
