Life is a very strange thing. Just now tireless Elner climbed a fig tree to pick sweet ripe fruit, and the next moment she is already vigorously communicating with the Lord God and the inhabitants of paradise.
And while Elner is enjoying heavenly conversations, a real light-hearted conflagration is taking place on earth. Her nervous niece Norma has fainted, her friend Luther has plunged into a ditch with his truck, and her neighbor Verbena has rushed to study the Bible. Looking at all this
the Lord concluded that it was too soon for Elner to go to heaven to deal with earthly matters.
