Just a Moment

Three souls traveled to Olam HaBa (Heaven).  
Before being admitted the first was approached by an angel that asked, “Do you mind waiting?” 
He responded, “No problem.  I have lots of time.  I have waited for this moment a lifetime and can certainly wait a bit longer.”
Very good,” said the angel.  “Can you spell God?” 
“Sure.  G O D,” he responded.
The angel turned to the second in line.  “Do you mind waiting?” 
“Wait?” he repeated.  “The Talmud teaches that all life is a corridor to the great beyond.  Of course I can wait.”
"Very good.  Can you spell HaShem?"
"Sure. H A S H E M."
Turning to the third the angel asked, “Do you mind waiting?” 
“I have been waiting all my life.  I have waited in line at the market.  I have waited at school.  I waited to get into the movies.   I waited my whole life.  Now that I am in heaven I need to wait here too???  Yes, I do mind!”
“OK,” responded the angel.  "How do you spell Czechoslovakia?”

“Between 1305 and the early 1800’s. the House of Taxis ran a form of pony express service all over Europe….   Its couriers clad in blue and silver uniforms, crisscrossed the continent carrying messages between princes and generals, merchants and money lenders.” –Alvin Toffler, The Third Wave We may think we are the first generation consumed by rapid communication but we are not.   Throughout our history it has been a priority. Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
