A Gift to Last
“Shirley waited until the church had emptied before chastising her fellow angel. She just didn’t know how to handle Goodness and Mercy. Their antics were going to get them permanently expelled from earth. “You had to do it, didn’t you?”
At least Goodness had the decency to look properly repentant. “You’re right, I know you’re right, but I couldn’t stand the smug way Phil Bennett was acting. From the moment he heard about his brother’s problems, he was beside himself with pleasure. All his talk a...bout being a good Christian, too!”
“We aren’t here to deal with Phil Bennett.”
“But he’s part and parcel of what’s happening to Greg.”
“Well, yes, and no…”
