I rather enjoyed this brief homily, which I found online today…
A man is being given a tour of heaven and hell. They begin in hell where he sees hundreds of hungry people in a room full of banquet tables. The banquet tables are filled with delicious food, with amazing aromas, and all the people have spoons. The spoons have long handles, just too long so the people in hell cannot feed themselves – they cannot get the food into their mouths. So they are eternally tortured by their hunger in a room full of delicious food. The man on the tour asks about heaven. The tour guide says that heaven is much more pleasant. The room looks a lot like this one but everyone there is very happy at their banquet. The man asks, “In heaven do they have shorter spoons?” The tour guide says, “No, the spoons are the same and the food is the same. But in heaven, they feed each other”.
Licenced today: the view from the CalMac ferry, heading for Stornoway on the isle of Lewis, looking back to the houses of Ullapool…
