resumes

Since this blog site has that word in the title, it may be time to address what is a heavenly resume. It's a resume to get you (and me) into heaven.

Now this presupposes there are jobs in heaven and then it assumes heaven will include "work", which is just what Adam and Even were condemned to endure on earth, having eaten that apple. Remember, they had to put on clothes and get to work. But this then presupposes jobs in heaven, where I imagine the use of this resume to be only about gaining admittance.

But suppose there were jobs waiting for us in heaven: what would they be? After all, the very least a job provides is a little respite from boredom (we won't need money to hold body and soul together). I see the need for Traffic Directors; after all, there are inevitably zillions of souls flying around up there. Road rage dies hard. Of course, if these TDs don't do a perfect job, we'll need Wing Repairers, like fine craftspersons from the Middle Ages, these renowned artists will refashion a broken wing, restoring it to its original lustre. But what happens in the meantime? There will have to be a heavenly version of Physical Therapists, health care providers who help us maneuver our celestial enterprise until we are Wing-Abled again.

What jobs do you think might be waiting for us?
