SECOND THOUGHTS

An angel appeared at a faculty meeting and told the dean that in return for his unselfish service, he will be rewarded with his choice of wealth, wisdom, or beauty. Without hesitating, the dean selects wisdom.

"It is done!" the angel said, and then disappeared into a cloud of smoke.

All of the other members of the faculty stared at the dean with amazement. Finally one of them whispered, "Now that you have infinite wisdom, Dean, say something."

The Dean looked them and said, "I should have taken the money."

(From a sermon by Peter Loughman "Angels Angels Angels" 12/24/2008)
