Well... it isn't so bad to have a little more time to prove yourself, is it?

[jiaohua]

The problem is not knowing what it is the person we must prove ourselves to is looking for. What will they use to decide if we are "better" than we were?

[trifocal]

I have wondered this as well... When I spoke to the angels about what is considered "good," they seemed to agree with my ideas of morality... But we do find ourselves without any clear guidelines.

[jiaohua]

...the lack of clear guidelines is the most concerning thing, I think. If we knew what we were being judged on, we could work toward it. Without that guidance we are left to flounder in the dark.

Are you afraid that some of us will fail?

[jiaohua]

...maybe. I do not know anyone well enough yet to be able to truly judge if they will pass or fail. But it seems unfair, for someone to judge us based on criteria that we do not know.

[trifocal]

The angels have been receptive to our questions so far. Perhaps they will elaborate if we ask them for specifics?

[jiaohua]

They did not seem to know much about the specifics the day we met... mostly, they mentioned that it would be God doing the judging.

[trifocal]

I did ask how we might speak to God, and was told that when we speak to the angels, God hears us then, too.

[jiaohua]

But does God speak back? Or merely listen?

[trifocal]

... I do not know of it speaking back to us...

[jiaohua]

...then that is really not talking with God, is it? It is... talking at God.
