Angels and Demons. Heaven and Hell. What makes them so
fascinating and why do we want to go to heaven so badly? No, this is not going
to be a preachy blog so please don’t turn me off. I’m about to share with you
my take on the subject and why I love writing about them.
I do believe in Angels and Demons, but maybe not entirely in
the biblical sense. I believe in good and bad. Everyone has good in them, and
everyone has bad in them. It’s how we chose to use them that makes us who we
are. Some will argue until they’re blue in the face that schizophrenics and people with mental illness are possessed
by demons. They’re just not educated in how the brain works.
But have you ever
stopped and looked at those people who lead a normal life, going about a normal
existence then one day, they grab a weapon and take out a crowd of people? What
made them do that? Or the straight-laced
businessman who for ten years has done his job, always been on time, never
caused a problem. Then one day he snaps and trashes his office, then walks up
to his boss and stabs him in the heart. Maybe he just snapped. Sure, fine, but
would a normal person take a knife or any sharp implement and jab into a guys
heart? Had to be evil inside of him for him to do such a thing.
When we think of angels we see delicate features of a women
or child with golden hair wearing a white flowing dress and white feathery
wings, gold halo over her head. That’s what we’ve been taught to believe. But
what about the person that for no reason at all will pay for the person behind
them in the grocery line up without saying a word to the person. Or shovel your
walk after a snow storm. What about the person who stops on the side of the
road to help someone fix their flat tire, in the middle of a down pour? A good
hearted person couldn’t drive by and not stop and help.
Now, let’s talk about the biblical Angels and Demons. God
Rules the Heavens and Satan rules Hell. Angels do Gods work and Demons do
Satan’s work. Neither has a mind of their own. I often wonder if they get bored
with their jobs—if there really are such things. It was that thought that
brought on the idea for my latest release, The Naughty Angel. I bring together
an angel wanting something different in her life other than being the watcher
of children and finds it at Madam Eve’s 1 Night Stand and a Demon looking for
his next minion. Both are slaves to their master. Being together is the
ultimate sin for both. Yet it is so tempting.
So tell me what you think. Are Angels and Demons real? Comment and you could be a lucky winner of a
brand spanking copy of the new release of The Naughty Angel just released.
Already got the story, thanks!! Just need time to read it.
ReplyDeleteAre angels and demons real? Hiding from thunderbolt or fiery pit here - but no, I don't believe they are. I think they're products of fertile imaginations and the world is richer for them, but actually exist? Nope.
Sounds like a great read!
ReplyDeleteI've been rescued by my guaradian angel too many times to count and I do believe in the devil and his evil ways!

Real?!! Absolutely!!! I have been called the "Devil" himself a few times, even if I think I am an Angel. .... Ok...so my halo might not be as shiny, but it sure was fun getting the tarnishes!

Oh yes, I truly believe angels are real. My mom had an experience with one in a time of need.
